About Me
A Note From Mia,
Welcome to Maximize Coaching - I’m so glad you’re here! I am a professional life & leadership coach who guides people to unlock their true potential and exceed their wildest dreams.
From the volleyball court to the boardroom, coaching has always been a part of my life. For the last eight years, I’ve led talent development and HR efforts, from a Fortune 500 hospitality company to a high-growth climate tech startup, guiding people to use their talents & strengths and overcome obstacles to do their best, most fulfilling work. I’ve also coached high school sports. I’ve served as the go-to person for those in my inner circle wanting support on their path forward. From coaching athletes, executives and peers, I’ve noticed that we all: have a desire for more, get in our own way, and are more capable than we think.
I am certified as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) by the International Coach Federation (ICF) - the leading global organization for coaches and coaching, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) by the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) and am a Profit from the Positive Certified Practitioner. Also, I am a member of the following professional organizations: ICF, Association for Talent Development (ATD) and Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Virginia Tech, and minors in Business Leadership and Communication.
My experience and training have set me up to be your partner and champion as you pursue your biggest, best life. I look forward to getting to know YOU!
“You have wisdom in your brain, heart, body and spirit that is valuable to tap into. In coaching, you will deepen your learning and forward your action. You have the answers; I’ll help you find them.”
