Technology Executive

"Maria was recommended to me as a coach who could provide personalized feedback regarding my leadership skills and current work situation. Little did I know that her feedback would be applicable to almost every other area of my life. Maria provided me with tools on how to focus on my strengths, be politely assertive and authentic while communicating more effectively. Maria has a very impressive industry background, but what sets her apart is her communication skills and ability to listen diligently, understand her client's unique position and provide sincere and customized feedback."

Healthcare CEO

"I contacted Maria to discuss creative ways to provide a leadership development workshop for my direct reports. She recommended the StrengthsFinder assessment for the event. The session was interactive and thought provoking. The results resonated with our team, who still draw on them from time to time more than a year later. I appreciated Maria’s interactive facilitation style. I find her to be a deep listener, very observant, direct, yet respectful. She's easy to interact with and instills confidence by calling out one’s natural strengths in a credible and relevant way."
