What People Are Saying
Maureen has an encyclopedic knowledge of leadership and management theory and practice that she is able to share with people from all backgrounds to help them achieve success in their professional endeavors. Not only does she have this knowledge, her ability to make it informative, interesting and entertaining for groups of varying experiences and skills are second to none in my experience as an educator and trainer.
I enthusiastically recommend Maureen's expertise and work in training design, course delivery, and group facilitation. Maureen is the consummate human resources professional who truly engages and excites recipients of her training courses. She possesses a high level of emotional intelligence and insight that is amazingly beneficial to companies attempting to identify both the key development hurdles and opportunities necessary to achieve success. As a facilitator of peer group sessions, she challenges participants to exceed their goals and share feedback in a highly effective manner. It has always been a pleasure to work with her.
Maureen was an integral part of our team's success when the company reorganized two divisions into one. She was able to facilitate meaningful team building and communications training that allowed the team to appreciate each person's differences and in return the team evolved over time. Maureen's knowledge and experience helped us recognize and validate the team's past and current state. She also made the exercises in the training fun for the group which helped the team relax and enjoy their time together.
I have never met anyone that possesses the skills that she possesses in terms of communicating with impact and influence. Not only does Maureen have tremendous influence with those she communicates, she does so in a positive and empowering way. Each time I have observed Maureen in a classroom, with a colleague, with a client or with Senior Management in an organization she has impressed me with her ability to inspire action and confidence in others.
I have an engineering degree and an MBA, and through all of that formal education we never learned the keys to everyday communication. I have read several books on the subject, but the Making a Connection course brought together the fundamentals of all of those, plus additional fundamentals that were hugely beneficial. I use them in my personal life to improve conversations with family and friends, but I am most looking forward to the improvements in email and verbal communication in the office.
I found Maureen’s course Making a Connection: Conversations for Success to be enlightening, challenging and eye-opening as to how many times I engage in what Maureen calls drive-by conversations and their impact on others.
Service Focused Leadership is a must for all leadership professionals. Maureen presented the content in a very interactive and engaging way. After taking this training, I now have the tools and a reference guide to support my continued growth as a leader. Not to mention that the tools are applicable to everyday life as well!
Maureen is an expert in her field! She truly has helped the Management team look at communication and leadership in an entirely different light! She is a joy to have and does so much more than just cover the material. She brings her background and her experience into the class with her, which you can't put a price on!

I recently completed the course Making Connections by Leveraging Communication Styles and found it to be both insightful and practical.
The course helped me better understand my primary communication style, recognize the strengths, and identify opportunities to adapt my approach when working with others. It encouraged meaningful self-reflection and provided practical strategies for flexing my communication style to build stronger connections and improve the effectiveness of important business conversations.
I would recommend this course to professionals who regularly engage in meaningful discussions, collaboration, and negotiations.
