Maya Sharfi helps high-achieving women—many of them introverts—step into senior leadership roles, negotiate life-changing raises, and build careers that are both successful and sustainable. While she identifies as an extrovert, she has spent years partnering closely with introverted leaders, helping them leverage their strengths to advance, increase their visibility, and navigate promotions with confidence. She is the founder of Build Yourself, where she has coached clients to land executive promotions, secure $40K–$100K salary increases, and lead powerfully—without overworking or changing who they are.
