Maureen is a dynamic, energetic and motivational individual.  No matter what you are seeking from a career perspective there is always some way that she can push you forward with more clarity and confidence.  My needs were in self-promotion and goal-setting which were attended to with active listening, understanding and the tools to help me work it all out.  She not only met my initial needs but further saw vision in my own vision and has prompted a mere seed of an idea to become a growing bud of a dream!  She puts the ‘power’ in empowerment!

Sincere thanks for leading an informative and fun session during the Women2.0 Ottawa Event. It was obvious that we all took away networking tips that can easily be used and applied to any kind of meet-up situation we find ourselves in. And the exercises…were a hit with everyone. Thank you for giving your time and expertise!

When I was searching for a new career opportunity Maureen assisted me with my resume. Together we created a resume that reflected my experience and creativity. She encouraged me to use concrete data and numbers to give credibility to my achievements. The first time I submitted my resume, I received a call for an interview! During the interview, I was complemented on my resume and offered a job. Now I get up each morning eager to go to work and I'm achieving my career goals!”
