What People Are Saying

“I believe I made incredible professional progress during my time working with Maura. I have a more clear sense of myself – my values, my emotions, my stories – and I am able to articulate and live more in control of the person I want to be. I felt very seen and heard during each of our sessions. I found the experience with her to be incredibly life-affirming and an unparalleled development experience.”

“Maura is one of the most talented people I have worked with in my whole career. Whether it relates to soft or hard skills, personal drive and growth, business acumen, strategy, the unique value Maura adds is truly amazing. Maura has a unique/rare ability to absorb an individual, task or complexity first time and almost instantaneously provide the foundation of solid advice, support and/or recommendations.”
