Hi, I’m Maureen!
It’s a noisy world out there. The world inside our own minds is even noisier. Thinking, overthinking, always trying to get it right. In my own journey as an entrepreneur, I was always in firefighting mode and never felt that I had enough time nor information to see clearly.
Thanks to great mentors and coaches, I accepted that there would never be enough time or data. But I had something else far more helpful — a built-in capacity for clarity and insight — always available, and free from emotional and mental clutter. You have it too.
Clarity and insight are superpowers.
When we see clearly, we live differently.
How does it work?
The cornerstone of the work I do with clients is to develop three essential capabilities: CLARITY: understanding the mechanics of our mind, INSIGHT: seeing something fresh and helpful, and ACTION: making choices guided by clear thinking.
I draw from my work as a leadership coach and from my lifelong curiosity about clarity, insight, intuition and wisdom. What are they? Where do they come from? Why do they sometimes disappear? How do I get more? Here we'll explore and experiment with how to transform clarity, insight, and intuition from occasional visitors into reliable allies in your journey.
Why "a field guide"?
Because like any naturalist's handbook, this is a practical tool for observing, understanding, and working with the natural patterns of human thought and behavior.
About me
I am a leadership coach, a teacher and a writer. I am not an academic, and this is not an academic work. This is my lived experience, and my own musings about the state of things as I see them. I want to seek and share wisdom with fellow travelers on the path to a life well-lived, of vitality and meaning.
I live between Lisbon and a farm in interior Portugal. Together with my Portuguese husband, we make olive oil, wine, honey and grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. It’s a long way from Philly!
