Taking a strengths-based, psychologically grounded approach to career development.

Meet Mina Stamataki

I have always wondered how our world would be if everyone used their talents and did work that fit them. I imagine people getting things done by being in their element and playing in the right field.

How different would our world be then? How more empowered and content would we be? How many problems would we be able to solve simply by putting our true strengths into play?

Hi, I am Mina. I help my clients connect their career with who they are, through a strengths-based and psychologically grounded approach.

I am an Occupational Health Psychologist (MSc) and Professional Coach (AC Certified) with a 10 year experience in Learning & Development and Career Coaching in well-known international companies. I have helped hundreds of people develop their skills and plan or change their career.

Vision

My vision is to help people contribute to a better world, by using their talents. I believe that everyone should have the choice to build a career that creates a contagious spark of enthusiasm in them.
I want to help you see your career not as a mere obligation, but as an authentic expression of who you truly are.

Approach

At the Career Drive, you will find a safe, psychologically grounded coaching space where you can step out of the need to perform and plan your next career steps by being YOU.

I achieve this through a strengths-based and psychologically-led approach, which helps you use your strengths instead of fixing weaknesses. Self-awareness meets structured action and positioning that feels natural and not forced.

Self-awareness

Understanding who you are is the most important element of any transformation. Gaining a clear view of your strengths, values and priorities, gives the superpower you need to fuel your next steps and become unstoppable.

Structured planning

Create a dynamic blueprint for your career, envision where you want to be and create a concrete map to get there. Clarity gives you power, accountability and perseverence.

Authentic positioning

Shape your professional presence and open doors to the right people and opportunities. Empower your mindset and showcase you true value. Strategize your application process, relationship building and online presence.

Values



Alignment
I prioritize identity alignment over externally defined measures of success. I consider as successful outcome a career that fits your strengths and personality. I do not define success based on impressive job titles or quick fixes.

Empowerment
Everyone has unique strengths. I help you (re)-discover your potential even when you don’t see it yet.

Balance
I find the right balance between challenging you and respecting your natural pace. Here we do not burn out for metrics.

Authenticity
Here you will have a space where you can show up exactly as you are. No masks. No pressure. Just growth.

Science-based approach

I have an academic education in Psychology and I am a certified Professional Coach:
•Bsc Degree in Psychology (Panteion University of Athens)
•Msc Degree in Occupational Health Psychology (Leiden University)
•Certified Professional Coach (Association for Coaching)

10 year experience in L&D

Throughout my career I have worked directly with people helping them develop their career, or indirectly by building programs related to career advancement and satisfaction.

Understanding transition

I have been an expat for the last 11 years and I have lived in 3 countries and 5 cities. I am well aware what it takes to transition and re-start successfully.
