About Me

Hi, I'm Dr. Mayra Valdez, and I help ambitious professionals gain the clarity, confidence, and strategy they need to take the next meaningful step in their careers. Whether you're pursuing a promotion, navigating a career transition, stepping into leadership, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to figure it out alone. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, clarify your goals, and create a practical plan to help you move forward with confidence and purpose. I believe career success shouldn't come at the expense of your well-being. The most fulfilling careers are built with intention, aligning your strengths, values, and aspirations with opportunities that allow you to thrive both professionally and personally. With more than 15 years of experience in leadership and organizational development within large healthcare systems, I've partnered with leaders and professionals to navigate organizational change, strengthen leadership capabilities, and advance their careers. My coaching combines evidence-based practices with real-world leadership experience, drawing on my PhD in Human Development and Master's degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology to provide practical, personalized guidance that helps clients create lasting growth. Clients often come to me when they're ready to: Gain clarity about their career direction Navigate a career transition with confidence Prepare for a promotion or leadership opportunity Develop leadership skills and executive presence Build confidence and overcome self-doubt Create an actionable plan and stay accountable to their goals I believe meaningful career growth isn't about following someone else's path, it's about creating a career that's aligned with who you are and the life you want to build. Whether you're ready for your next opportunity or simply want greater confidence in your direction, I'm here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I was very happy with my session with Mayra. She gave me some great actionable tips and suggestions for best next steps. She was a great listener and helped me figure out the best way forward in starting up my business. She provided me with structure and clarity about my next steps. I would recommend her for anyone looking to take the next step in their career.

I am so glad that I booked a session with Mayra. I wanted to book a session with someone who would be able to help me navigate the next steps to feel fulfilled in my career and volunteer life. My online presence, resume, and Cover Letter are all up to date so it was refreshing just to have a conversation with someone who could help me get to the bottom of my passions and next steps. I did not know what to expect from this coaching session because I left it very open ended, but it was beyond any expectations that I had. After this first hour, I had so much clarity on where I could pour myself into next. I am so grateful to Mayra for being an amazing coach and helping me put words and action steps into something that has been at me for months. I strongly recommend Mayra to anyone looking for their next steps in a career.
