Who is Maven?
You Are Maven. I Am Maven. We Are Maven.
Maven Executive Coaching was born out of a need—a need to embrace the diversity of experiences and leadership styles that belong at the executive table. It was sparked by a moment I’ll never forget. Picture this: I’m sitting in a room with all male colleagues, people I’ve just met, in a professional development program that requires me to live away from my family for ten months. I’m already making sacrifices to grow my career, juggling the weight of it all, when a colleague tells me, point-blank, “If you’re not thinking about work in the evenings while at home with your family, you’re not a professional.”
Wait…what? Let that sink in. Here we are, in a space dedicated to leadership development, and I’m being told that focusing on my family after hours makes me less of a leader.
In that moment, I felt the weight of the room. I didn’t know their stories, their motivations, or how they viewed me. As the lone woman, I was acutely aware of every word I could say—or not say. If I spoke up, would I be labeled as “the typical woman,” someone difficult or emotional, reducing my credibility? If I stayed silent, would I let this outdated belief go unchallenged?
These are the exact scenarios I want to help women leaders navigate with intention and confidence. I want women to understand this truth: you can lead in your own way, with your own style, and be every bit as successful and respected as anyone else. Leadership isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mold—it’s about owning your unique story and bringing your distinct perspective to the table.
Because here’s the thing: transformation doesn’t come from groupthink. Innovation happens when diverse voices challenge the norm, when opposing views are welcomed, and when we embrace the power of what makes us different. That’s where real magic begins.
Executive coaching is a transformative tool that empowers leaders to unlock their full potential. It provides a personalized approach to leadership development, helping individuals gain clarity, build confidence, and navigate challenges with intention. Through one-on-one coaching, leaders can enhance their emotional intelligence, refine their decision-making skills, and cultivate a leadership style that aligns with their values and goals. At Maven Executive Coaching, we believe in the power of coaching to foster growth, resilience, and authentic leadership—helping women leaders embrace their unique strengths and create meaningful impact in their organizations and beyond.
It starts with a mindset shift: You are a maven. You bring inherent value to every room you walk into. Your experiences, your perspective, your story—they matter. They create change. They drive progress. Never forget that.
