I’m Maria Kyriakos.

My PHilosophy

You have a career story—whether you’ve written it intentionally or not.


Titles, employers, and achievements? They’re chapters, not the plot.


During my years in corporate HR, I watched too many talented leaders let others steer their careers—waiting for recognition, promotion, or permission. But why outsource your most important professional decisions?


That question led me to create Leader Assist.


I help mid-career leaders take the wheel—crafting a bold, authentic career narrative rooted in self-awareness, values, strengths, and future vision. We co-create strategies that develop competence and build confidence while elevating your executive presence and increasing your impact and influence—without the burnout.


Your path may not be broken—it just needs direction.

It’s time to shift your mindset from what’s available to what’s possible. Leave “should” and “can’t” behind. Chart your course on your terms. If you're ready to stop circling and start leading your career with intention, let’s work together. It’s time to own your story—and drive it forward.
