How it works
One conversation with someone who has already stood where you stand now.
Changing careers, leaving your job, leading for the first time, going independent or moving abroad. Pick the moment that fits.
Every card shows the path a Guide took and the languages they speak. You choose.
Book a slot that suits you both. The first conversation is free, and what you do with it is your decision.
Pick the person who has made the move you're weighing. The first 1:1 session costs nothing, and you decide afterwards whether you want a second one.
Every guide on Nawaya has made the move themselves, and we read every new profile. We are adding people every week, and the bar stays the same: you have to have made the move yourself. If your move is not here yet, tell us which one you mean.
Then you're just as welcome as a Guide. You don't have to be a coach. You set your price and your hours, and you talk 1:1 by video with someone facing the decision you've already made.
