Meet Maureen

Hi, I’m Maureen

The Wayfinder in Me

I love to travel.  For me, traveling is a journey of exploration, curiosity and discovery that takes me outside of my habits and comfort zone.  While learning about the world I also learn about myself; it isn’t always easy but it is always inspiring.

I see coaching as a journey as well. As a coach, my role is to help my clients step away from the familiar habits and patterns in their lives to discover new perspectives, unlock strengths they didn’t know they had, and find the power in themselves to take the next steps in their own journey

Career Highlights

I am a certified professional coach with ~10 years experience coaching clients both individually and in groups. Before becoming a coach, I worked as a consultant as well as a people leader in corporate, start-up and non-profit organizations.  These experiences enable me to bring a wealth of experience and perspective to my coaching practice.

My coaching philosophy revolves around the simple yet powerful belief that each of us already has within us the resources needed to develop and to reach our goals. We may not always see the path forward clearly, or we may not understand what is getting in our way, and sometimes the goal itself may be a little fuzzy.   Coaching helps provide clarity and understanding, and with that comes choice and the agency to make those choices.
