Maria Rocha

I’m a People and Culture Consultant, Writer and Advisor with 15 years of experience in startups, scale ups and BPOs. I help people and organizations build healthier and more human ways of working, focusing on culture, leadership and professional growth.
My background in Sociology of Work and Adult Mental Health helps me understand how people relate and make decisions at work. I work strictly within the workplace context and keep clear boundaries with other specialized areas, collaborating with counsellors and wellbeing specialists when people need a different type of support.
Through Workplace Wellbeing Lab, I support career transitions, guide HR professionals and help organizations strengthen wellbeing, leadership and culture. I am currently running two pilots, Career Journey (outplacement) and HR Reset, to test new ways of supporting people and HR peers. My approach is practical, reflective and centered on helping people and teams gain clarity, confidence and balance in how they work and lead.
