UNLOCK YOUR CAREER POTENTIAL!
Nobody does it alone. Learn from who has done it before and achieved the results you're seeking. Adopt a Sustainable Performance Mindset, save time, get clarity and accelerate your progress with confidence.
Hello, I'm Marco.
My first job at 17 was as an office assistant delivering documents and barely getting paid. Since then I had the privilege of working for companies like Nestlé, BASF and Accenture, where I grew to Director and Executive roles in IT and Consulting, building a life that today allows me the choice of living in Portugal and investing my time doing work aligned with my purpose, such as career coaching and mentoring for clients around the world.
Here are some items I cover in my coaching:
CAREER STRATEGY AND VISION
SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE MINDSET
RAISES AND PROMOTIONS
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ALIGNED WITH PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
GROWING IN CORPORATE AMERICA
FINANCES AND INVESTMENTS
ENERGY, HEALTH AND VITALITY
WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION
We'll follow this 3-step process to support your growth needs.
-
Dive directly into the key pain points such as expenses, income, job change or burnout and implement any urgent measures necessary.
-
Fuel: Meaningful Work and Cashflow + Energy and Vitality.
Vision: Get clear on a work-life vision that aligns with personal priorities. Career Strategy. Mitigate cognitive dissonance and benefit from the alignment of having a clear True North.
Systems: Yearly Career & Financial Goal Setting and Check-ins, Personal Development for Career Growth, Net Worth, Life nourishing practices, Investments, and more.
-
Get clarity on the key points of leverage available and act on them strategically.
Transition from playing reactive whack-a-mole to more predictable, productive and energizing weeks as systems are gradually implemented. Compounding is a powerful force of positive change in career, money and life.
Work on removing obstacles for growth - execution is key.
Implement changes that stack the cards in favor of the desired behaviors and outcomes - so the river current you're in is taking you where you want to go, rather than requiring you to constantly fight it.
Make space to breathe and properly celebrate progress in support of sustainable high performance, so the journey - aka life - can be enjoyable.
Benefits of working with someone who has done it.
Save time, learn from experience in similar situations you might be facing, understanding what has and hasn't worked in practice.
Receive support in personal and professional development, directly and through the recommendation of resources such as books, training and other possibilities.
Use proven approaches and strategies that worked in practice.
Benefit from collaborative critical thinking, discussing challenges and getting to realistic and practical solutions.
Gain access to a network of contacts.
Anticipate and avoid obstacles with the support of an experienced coach.
Receive confidential feedback on strengths and weaknesses and develop capabilities.
Focus and motivation to sustain consistent action towards results.
Why adopt a Sustainable Performance Mindset?
Reaching for your highest career ambitions is a long term marathon and not a brief sprint race. As such, it is critical to have a North Star vision, tap into the power of your reason for achieving - your why - and adopt mental, personal and work behaviors and practices that balance the high intensity of pushing higher with recovery and nourishing practices, sustaining health and relationships, without which your career achievements will eventually feel empty.
It a counterintuitive way, this approach actually increases performance and accelerates achievements - as shown by various research studies - as better decisions are made along the way, you have the vitality to bring your best self to work and show up as a more human leader, develop better relationships at work and as you build your network, and become a well rounded leader and role model.
Learn about my journey.
An experienced consultant and coach, I have spent the last 20 years working in IT, Digital Business, Consulting, Coaching, and Entrepreneurship, from my humble beginnings in Brazil to working for Fortune 500 Companies in the US – Nestlé, BASF, TEREX, Accenture – and leading an 8-figure business portfolio, all while running my coaching practice.
My passion for coaching began over 15 years ago with my own evolution in my IT and Consulting career with the support of coaches, leading me to take ICF accredited coaching training, establish my coaching practice, multiplying my income and net worth while drastically increasing my fulfillment along the way. I have invested in numerous programs, tools and coaching – to the tune of $250K over the years - and truly love having an impact through coaching!
As a driven and ambitious (for life) person I now have a portfolio of work and investments, lead an engaging business, family and individual life, and embrace sustainable performance along with work-life integration for myself and in the support of my clients as they reach for their work+life goals.
On a more personal note, I am an avid reader and student of business, personal finances, investments, innovation, and cutting edge personal development. When I’m not working you can find me learning, having deep conversations, traveling, practicing mindfulness or yoga, hiking, spending time in nature, and with my family, our dog, and friends. Originally from Brazil, and after 20 years in the US, I'm now based in sunny Lisbon, Portugal.
Kind words from clients.
“…You help me to see the bigger picture of where I want my business to go. No just focusing on the day-to-day. You seem to always be thinking about my options. You consider multiple ways that I can solve the same problem. You keep me on track. Knowing I have a meeting coming up with you ensures that I get things done. You’re not afraid to disagree with me. Or point out when I’m being short sighted or doing something that I’ve said I didn’t want to do…”
Kristen M.
“…Largely thanks to his coaching, I have grown in my skills, confidence and ability to influence in new and unexpected ways. It’s not often you find someone who helps you align your inner and outer world, is both relentlessly optimistic and relentlessly honest, is generous with his own insights without being directive. He always helps you to get to a position where you can choose from various options, and coaches you to see your choice through. I would really recommend working with him if you have the chance!”
Annemarie P.
“I am a new business owner with no formal business training so having someone like him to help me focus my energy on tasks that will help grow the business is incredibly valuable. He has a wealth of knowledge and has been eager to help me grow my business by tapping into his professional and personal experience. He has also been very good at meeting me where I’m at by digging in to understand what I want my business to look like so he can help me get there, rather than just telling me how he thinks it should grow. I highly recommend Marco and look forward to continuing to work with him!”
