Meet Maureen
Ever feel like you’re on “autopilot?” For me, it was just a few years ago, and realizing it was both scary and eye-opening.
At the time, I had an amazing job creating customized learning development programs around the world. But I was also overworked and completely stressed out. It wasn’t until I had a coach myself that I was able to stop for a moment and take the time identify my personal values. After doing so, I asked myself, was I living my life through the lens of those values?
The answer was “no” and that’s what changed everything for me. I realized it was why I was so burnt out. It was like I was flying my plane at 30,000 feet and had no idea how to land it. I decided I couldn’t live on autopilot any longer, but that meant getting out of my comfort zone. It meant asking tough questions, making difficult choices, but it led me to doing the work of transforming my career so I could create the impact that mattered to me.
And the ironic and funny thing is that, as a former competitive skydiver, race car driver and on-stage improvisor, I knew firsthand that stepping out of our comfort zones can dramatically power personal growth. I’ve now been able to transfer these adventures into a more balanced, aligned, and fulfilled life, both professionally and personally.
But beyond that, these experiences have led me to what I do now for you at Ripple Effects Coaching. Executive coaching and team facilitation are all about deciding to turn off the autopilot and gain the support you need to step outside of your comfort zone. Today, in my work as an ICF certified coach and senior learning & development professional, I bring this philosophy into my practice, backed by my entire career and 14 years of experience working with global organizations on custom leadership development programs.
As a result, my coaching and team facilitation work is entirely grounded in a process that supports you as a whole person, helping you discover and recognize your true talents, skills and passions. We focus on guiding you on how to use those insights to realize your full potential and achieve your goals in both work and life. For teams, I expand this work from the individual to empowering and equipping everyone to work together. Ultimately, no matter what the engagement, my guiding belief is that with the right coaching and support, you can answer our own questions, respond to your own challenges, find your own power, and take meaningful action.
Whether you’re thinking about yourself or the state of your team, it’s really important to stop and ask yourself – “Am I on autopilot?” “Am I living and leading by my values?” If the answers challenge you, maybe it’s time to step out of that comfort zone. Maybe it’d be just a bit easier with the right partner by your side. If that’s a possibility, I’d love to help you take back your power to decide what you want and go after it.
