Be the CEO of your Career

When everything you were told about your career stops working, you’re in the messy middle.

I’m Kristina, a Rotman-trained executive coach.

I help you navigate complexity, make sense of modern work and leadership, and take back ownership of your path so you can take charge of where it goes next.

Strategize What's Next—On Your Terms

If you’re here, you’re past generic advice, career tests, and frameworks. You’re looking for clear thinking, lived perspective, and confident direction.

Here's how I help:

01

Design Your Own Session

Two hours. One focused conversation. A high-impact working session you design—because no two careers in the messy middle look the same. You choose the focus: a decision, a transition, a story that no longer fits, or direction that’s been interrupted. We work with what’s real right now. 

02

Own Your Next Chapter

Five to ten sessions. Level up your self-leadership through change. For when things aren’t just unclear—they’re shifting fast. Your role, your work, your direction, or how you operate can't stay on autopilot anymore. We clarify your North Star and turn uncertainty into confident action. 

"Working with Kristina has enabled me to clarify the immediate challenges I've been facing, and plan for my long-term objectives."

Hi there, I'm Kristina Mausser —

I Help People Navigate the Messy Middle of Modern Work — and Become CEOs of Their Own Careers

I work with ambitious people who are ready to take back control of their career direction in a world where businesses are constantly evolving, the traditional ladder no longer works, roles shift faster than titles, and success no longer feels aligned with what they were taught to pursue.

I help them think like the CEO of their own career: clarifying what matters, identifying what no longer does, and deciding what comes next when the path forward no longer feels obvious.

My perspective is grounded in both lived experience and formal training. I completed executive coaching education through the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto in a program accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association for Coaching. I am also a member of the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council Global, where I adhere to its Global Code of Ethics.
