Irina Lamarr, PMP, ACC — Project Manager

Hard work doesn't get you promoted. Being heard does. They got the promotion. They're not better than you. They're just louder. And you? You over-prepare, over-deliver, and sit there wondering why you keep getting overlooked. It's not a skills problem. It's a silence problem. And you already know it. About me as your coach: I'm Irina — a leadership and confidence coach with 16+ years and three careers behind me (Marketing → Software Development → Program Management). I've been on the hiring side of the table. I've coached 50+ professionals. And I've been the woman who had the answer but stayed quiet while someone louder got the credit. That changed. And now I help other women make that same shift. My Coaching Philosophy: – You already have what you need. My job isn't to fix you — it's to help you stop hiding what's already there. – I'm direct. I'll challenge you. I won't let you shrink in our sessions the way you shrink in that meeting room. – This isn't motivational fluff. I come from the trenches — complex programs, cross-functional teams, high-pressure environments. My coaching is practical because my career is practical. Who I work with: Women in early-to-mid career who have the skills but not the voice to match - yet. Now it's time to own the room. I help you speak up, stand out, and stop apologizing for being great at your job. 🔔 I share weekly about confidence, leadership, and what it actually takes to stop playing small.
