Margarita Dautova - Career Coach

You're Not Alone

If you're feeling any of this, you're at a decision point—not broken

You're successful on paper but feel stuck or unfulfilled

You know you need a change but don't know what's next

You're considering a career pivot but fear starting over

You've lost confidence in your abilities or direction

You're in a new leadership role and feel like an imposter

You're torn between security and pursuing something meaningful

You're not broken. You're at a crossroads—and that's exactly where meaningful change begins.

The confusion, the exhaustion, the "what's next?" feeling? That's your system telling you something needs to shift. Not because you're failing, but because you're ready for what's next.

Here's how we turn this moment into momentum:

The Method

The 90-Day Clarity & Direction Program

A structured, practical approach to professional transitions that actually works.

01

CLARIFY

Understand Where You Are

We start by getting honest about what's working and what isn't. Through structured reflection, we identify your core values, hidden strengths, and the real reasons you're feeling stuck.

Weeks 1-3

02

POSITION

Define Where You Want to Go

With clarity on your starting point, we explore your options. We map out potential paths—whether that's a pivot, a promotion, or a complete reset—and identify which direction aligns with who you are now.

Weeks 4-6

03

ACT

Move Forward with Confidence

Insights are useless without action. We create a concrete plan with milestones, build your confidence through small wins, and navigate obstacles as they arise. You leave ready to execute.

About Me

A coach who understands the corporate world

Before becoming a coach, I spent years in corporate environments—working in Talent and Leadership Development at companies like Mytheresa and Amadeus. I've seen firsthand how talented people can lose their spark, get stuck in roles that don't fit, or burn out trying to meet impossible expectations.

That experience shapes how I coach. I understand the pressures you face, the politics you navigate, and the real stakes involved in career decisions. I'm not just coaching from theory—I've lived the corporate reality.

I'm based in Munich, Germany, and work with clients worldwide. Sessions happen online, which means we can meet wherever you are.

Questions

Common questions, honest answers

Everything you need to know before booking a call.

How long does the 90-Day Clarity & Direction Program actually take?

The program is designed to run over 12 weeks (approximately 3 months), with 6 sessions scheduled at your convenience. The timeline can be adjusted based on your specific needs and pace. Some clients complete it faster, others prefer a more extended timeline.

What if I'm not sure coaching is right for me?

That's exactly what the free discovery call is for. We'll talk about your situation, explore whether coaching is the right fit, and if not, I'll point you toward other resources that might serve you better. There's zero pressure to commit.

How much does coaching cost?

Investment varies based on the format you choose. The 90-Day Clarity & Direction Program is €499, single sessions are €90 for 60 minutes, and corporate programs are customized. During our discovery call, we'll discuss pricing options that fit your budget.

Will this actually work for me?

Coaching works when you're ready to invest in yourself and take action. It's not magic—it's structured conversation, reflection, and accountability. If you're willing to show up, be honest, and do the work, you'll see results. I can't guarantee specific outcomes, but I can guarantee I'll show up fully for you.

Is everything I share confidential?

Absolutely. Everything we discuss—in sessions, emails, or calls—is completely confidential. The only exception is if you're part of a corporate program, where I may provide general progress updates to sponsors (never specific content) and only with your explicit agreement.

What happens on the free discovery call?

We spend 30 minutes talking. You share what's on your mind—your situation, challenges, and what you're hoping to change. I listen, ask questions, and we explore whether coaching could help. By the end, you'll have clarity on your next steps, whether or not we work together.

Do you work with people outside of Germany?

Yes! I'm based in Munich but work with clients worldwide via video call. Time zones are flexible—we'll find times that work for both of us.
