Advisory & Executive Coaching

“When trust is a scarce resource, the most credible voice wins. Through her years in news media and on global stages, Mariana Atencio has built one of the sharpest, most credible voices in the conversation — and she knows how to help leaders build theirs. That combination is extraordinarily rare.”

Executive Communication Leadership Trust

Mariana Atencio has spent 15 years in national media, as a Peabody Award-winning journalist, NBC News and Univision anchor, and geopolitical analyst.

She’s interviewed global leaders such as presidents, popes, and CEOs live, with no script and no second take.

In addition, Mariana has spoken about Authentic Leadership and Building Trust on over 200 stages, from the Future Investment Initiative and the United Nations, to TED and Fortune 500 companies across four continents.

She has built a digital audience of more than 1.5 million people across her online platforms who look to her for trusted insights on:

  • Crafting credible and engaging storytelling around issues and brands that matter

  • Executive communication for leaders navigating high-stakes visibility

Mariana has developed a profound understanding of how trust and credibility are built across digital and live platforms — and how they are lost without a consistent, trustworthy narrative.

Audiences decide in seconds whether they believe you and what your organization stands for.

Some leaders need more than a workshop. They need a partner.

This is Mariana’s most elevated form of executive support. A committed, hands-on partnership built entirely around what you and your organization need.

Sometimes it is one session. Sometimes it is an ongoing partnership. The shape of the engagement is determined entirely by what the work requires.

Mariana takes a limited number of advisory clients each year. Every engagement begins with a conversation.

For the executive preparing for the most consequential communication moment of their career. For the organization that needs a trusted outside voice in the critical conversations where strategy becomes a message. For the leader who has the vision, the platform, and the credibility — and needs an expert advisor to help them craft a trustworthy narrative.

This work is bespoke and immersive. It may involve crafting a message, strengthening visibility in specific markets, preparing for a high-stakes media moment, or shaping how an executive’s story reads across digital and live platforms.
