“I see my everyday work with people as a calling. I am passionately interested in people – and in getting to see behind their façades. With sympathy and empathy, I confront people with clear challenges. In the process of getting to know a person’s hidden potential, I put my finger on the pain points in order to achieve true personal development and optimum results.
In my private life I like to spend time with my family – my husband and our two children – and share confidences with the people who are near and dear to me. For me, experiencing honest and profound encounters, living and letting others live, sharing laughter, changing perspectives and learning from one another are vital components of a fulfilled life.
“Putting people first” is a guiding principle for me, both in my professional and private life.”
”As an administrative assistant at MW AG, it is my pleasure to welcome you to your consultation or assessment, and to be at your service behind the scenes throughout the entire day. My mission is to make your time with us in Zurich, as intense as it is, as pleasant as possible.”
“Maya Weber puts people first. Right from the start I felt sure I had come to the right place! It was professional, intensive, and exacting - but despite that, we still found ourselves laughing a lot. That was my experience of being assessed by Maya Weber and her team. The in-depth interviews and precise analysis not only yield an uncompromising view of your own areas for development, they also give motivating insights into your personal strengths.”

“Thanks to her authentic and thoroughly honest nature, Maya Weber didn't just put the newly chosen CEO through an intensive yet efficient performance assessment - at the same time, she was also able to do a health check on the Chair of the Bord of Directors and the cooperation between the Board of Directors and the management. She was able to call to life ideas that otherwise would only have unfolded at a later stage.”

“Starting from a well-founded analysis of my personality structure, the MW AG assessors got to the point quickly and clearly. Then they followed through, working consistently, with passion, energy and perseverance. You can clearly see that Maya Weber really cares about people, and that coaching is her passion, not just a job. Getting the right result is really important to her.”
