“Maura’s energetically friendly personality challenges her audience to view the world from different perspectives to resist the natural temptation to introduce biases and preconceptions to a problem or even a welcome event.

Maura combines compassion with good-humored provocation to achieve that most desirable of outcomes: critical thinking. The best thing is that her presentation, adapted to her audience, is applicable to young and old, professional or non-professional. You leave the room feeling better about yourself, but also challenged and fulfilled.”
