What You’ll Learn

Before we lead with the courage to speak our truth, we need to establish a foundation of support, and the ability to resource. We also need to be able to navigate the challenges of a structural system that was designed to keep a diversity of perspectives out of positions of power, and to maintain and reinforce a dominant culture meant to keep producing in a way that is unsustainable for humans, other living things, and the Earth’s natural resources. We have an inkling of what needs to be done. But without listening to our own truth and having the resources needed to speak it, the systems continue to cause harm while we stand by, feeling helpless.

The good news is that you can be part of the change. It starts with remembering who you really are and by designing a leadership map that is sustainable to your well-being and circumstance.

Testimonials

“I have not met anybody who so understands the new consciousness that’s emerging and has the structure to support the visionaries who are moving through it than Maija.”

— Cornelia Holden
“When I’m working with Maija and her team, I get the experience and insights of an esteemed leader, a business coach, an advocate, and a friend. She draws on all of those areas to create a custom plan, which then becomes a roadmap for my business.”

— Siana Sonoquie
“Maija is so unique, intuitive and unlike anybody else I’ve met. Her strong foundation and values as a person and professional are the filter from which she operates. I didn’t realize the type of support I needed until I worked with Maija.”

— B. Trainor
