What our customers have to say
Ju-mie G. | Account Manager | Dublin
Working with Ina was a game-changer in my new role search. I was struggling to present myself effectively, but Ina provided invaluable tips and strategies that transformed my approach. She helped me identify and articulate my strengths in a clear, structured way, and boosted my confidence significantly.
Thanks to her guidance and support, I landed a fantastic role. I highly recommend Ina to anyone looking to advance their career! (Oct 2024)
Mona M. | Strategy & Operations Lead | New York
Ina has been an incredible coach during my first year post grad school, as I joined Google after finishing my MBA . Right after my first session with Ina, I messaged her that it was people like her that motivated me to work at Google.
My first few months at Google were a whirlwind. I was thrown into the deep end with a global product launch and a cross-functional team, all while dealing with a difficult colleague and the sudden absence of my manager. Feeling lost and disillusioned, I reached out to Ina for coaching. What sets her apart from other coaches is this rare combination of empathy, her big picture perspective for her mentees, and a strong, structured approach to navigating challenges (with defined action items). Moreover, our sessions always involve her following up on the "plan-of-action" we decided, and seeing how we could have done better. For me, her focus on acknowledging my wins, while also deliberating on actionable ways to improve have brought the right balance.
From our very first session, Ina's impact was undeniable. Her guidance and advice is practical, executable and yet very tailored to my challenges. I value her ability to not only understand the challenges women face in the workplace, but to empower them with practical tools for self-advocacy and navigating complex situations. Ina provided invaluable guidance on managing up, which proved crucial in the absence of my manager. Moreover, she assisted me in bridging the gap to overcome friction with a difficult colleague by building a more personal relationship, while also assertively outlining behaviours that I was not ok with. And when I faced yet another managerial change due to a re-org, Ina was my rock. Her advice on navigating organizational shifts and building credibility with new leaders was a game-changer.
Ina's coaching has been instrumental in not only surviving but thriving in my early years at Google. She made me feel empowered by overcoming these initial hurdles, while also setting me up for continued success at Google. (Oct 2024)
Helene G. | Slow Fashion Stylist | Boulder
I've only had a few sessions with Ina, but meeting with her has already been a total game changer for how I see my business and how I want to move forward as a business owner. She has this incredible ability to align her advice with my personal goals and values, which is so important to me. From the very first discovery session, I could tell that Ina truly got where I was and where I wanted to go.What really stands out to me is how deeply she listens. She doesn’t just give one-size-fits-all advice—she asks thoughtful, in-depth questions about my personality, my stress points, and my personal motivations, and then offers advice that’s incredibly helpful and perfectly on point, tailored to exactly what I need at that moment.
Ina is also amazing at guiding conversations. She really digs deep to get to the root of whatever struggle I’m facing, and then helps me reframe my mindset to see the bigger picture. One example that sticks with me happened just today. Ina asked a specific question that made me realize what was really behind a stressor I’d been feeling with one of my marketing goals. Not only did she help me identify the cause, but she also gave me a clear, actionable step I could take right away to ease the stress.I’d highly recommend Ina to anyone looking for personalized, in-depth insight on a business challenge. Her high-level expertise, combined with her approachable, fun, and patient demeanor, makes her an outstanding coach. I’m seriously impressed by the quality of her coaching and feel lucky to be working with her! (Sep 2024)

Abhinand J. | Vendor Manager | Dublin
Working with Ina during the period that I did was extremely timely. While we had collaborated together previously, she was able to proficiently decouple that with my current requirements and tackle challenges in a targeted manner. Her questions during the discovery phase were relevant and helped bring useful context into our conversations. Ina coached me to make meaningful changes in my approach which yielded fruitful results. Her wealth of corporate and life experience makes her an exceptional coach for anyone seeking personal or professional growth. I wholeheartedly recommend Ina to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive coach! (Nov 2024)

Partnering with Marta has been a transformative experience that profoundly impacted my personal and professional development. Her coaching style is both supportive and challenging, encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone and embrace new possibilities. She has a remarkable ability to ask the right questions, helping me gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and take bold steps toward achieving them.

Her thoughtful guidance and unwavering belief in my capabilities have been instrumental in driving my career growth and personal fulfillment. I’m incredibly grateful for the lasting impact her coaching has had on my journey.. (Dec 2024)
