Coach Maureen




• Over 20 years of experience at Harvard University in Career Services, Human Resources, Recruiting, and Disability Services
• Over 15 years of neurodiversity education and experience with career & life coaching adults, and educating & training individuals, organizations, and those in relationships (partners, spouses, significant others)
• A champion for those who identify with profiles currently regarded as "neurodivergent": Autism Spectrum / Asperger’s, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, some learning/intellectual and sensory processing challenges, and more
• Her passion-driven mission is to empower the world with neurodiversity awareness, understanding, appreciation, and strategies to apply in EVERY facet in one’s personal and professional life
• Engaged life-long learner in a wide range of academic fields, especially positive psychology, neuroscience, growth mindset/grit, and mindfulness & meditation

Coach Maureen leverages all of these well-honed skills and strengths, her curious and collaborative nature, commitment to empowering others, and valuing diversity and inclusion to her coaching style and methods.
One of Coach Maureen’s life views can be nicely expressed by borrowing a few words from a well-known autism advocate, Temple Grandin:

"When I was younger, I was looking for this magic meaning of life. It’s very simple now. Making the lives of others better, doing something of lasting value. That’s the meaning of life, it’s that simple.”

Coach Maureen finds personal and professional fulfillment when she is “making the lives of others better” and the greatest way she can accomplish contributing “something of lasting value” to the world is through a coaching partnership.
