Testimonials “Thank you so much for PowerSpeak, Maia! I enjoyed participating and learned a lot about myself. It was enjoyable and rewarding. I appreciate you recommending that I take the workshop. You knew exactly what this "Madame Toastmaster" needed. Your work is phenomenal—the world should experience you!” Montrie Rucker Adams “I didn’t used to think of myself as a speaker. I had all the usual challenges that keep people from speaking in public. Then I got an opportunity to speak that I didn’t want to pass up and I knew I needed to do something about my challenges. That’s when I called Maia. She helped me to quantify what I wanted to say and showed me a structure I could use to organize my programs. She also helped me to craft my message for this particular audience and create a flow for my program. It was clear to me as we worked that there was something special about the way Maia was clearly driven by her focus on what would get me my success. Working with Maia made a speaker out of me. As a result, I’ve added potential streams of new income with workshops and speeches because of my confidence and skill and the structure I have to create both of them. Maia has my highest recommendation.” Bob Barkett “I found my voice and claimed my power as a speaker in your PowerSpeak class. You showed me that I had more available to me than I realized. You helped me to recognize the strengths I already had. Who knew that speaking in front of a room could be so much fun!” Aprille Janes “Maia is exceptionally gifted at bringing out the best in people. I am absolutely staggered by how much change I’ve achieved through a one-day workshop and a one-hour follow-up coaching session. I’m now 100% more confident about standing in front of a group … and I know I’m much better at it, too. Thank you Maia!” Kate Franklin, CPCC, “Maia made a speaker out of me—I really felt it! I did it! Now I know that I will take every chance I can to speak. Thank you, Maia!” Maggie Veigl, M.A. “When I called you, I had no clue what to do. I could have spent the next eight hours wracking my brain and doing the wrong thing! Instead I called you—and in 25 short minutes of coaching, I had focus, clarity, structure and an action plan!! Thank you, Maia!” Ivana Taylor “Maia has an immediacy and efficiency that is quite remarkable. Six years later, I still hear from those she trained that they learned a great deal from the class—even from those who truly did not want to be in attendance.” Carol Mintz “Every now and then we have the good fortune to meet people that really challenge us to reach for something better than where we are today. Maia is often that person for others. Her coaching in the area of Powerful Presence has really resonated with me and has resulted in my being more aware of the effect my powerful presence can have on myself and others.” Lynda Bell “Maia created the space for us to connect with our personal power. Her total and loving support for us is what ... unlocked the incredible power, growth and risk-taking that led to such awesome work.” Mark Braverman Ph.D. “Maia Beatty is a woman who can captivate an audience, while at the same time making you comfortable and aware … Maia is memorable … once you spend time with her, you know you need her as an advisor for the little and the great in your life.” Charity Beall, CPA “Maia has an incredible gift for bringing out the best in you. I worked with her to prepare for my first keynote to a large audience—400 people. Maia's presence through the 2 weeks of preparing made a huge difference to my confidence, helping me to clarify what I wanted to say and how I could most authentically deliver my message. She gave unconditionally of her time, energy and passion. Best of all, she helped me to actually enjoy the experience of speaking on stage! If you get a chance to work with Maia, take it! You will not look back.” Elle Harrison “When I think of Powerful Presence, I think of Maia Beatty. She is not only an amazing speaker who can capture the rapt attention of any audience who is lucky enough to hear her, she practices exactly what she teaches. The Maia Beatty that you see on-stage is the exact Maia Beatty that shows up everywhere else. She is passionate, enthusiastic, a gifted speaker and lots of fun! She has honed her craft so that she has the audience in the palm of her hand at ‘Hello.’ “I have also had the pleasure of having Maia as my speaking coach. Her insight and coaching skills helped to make my presentations more impactful and powerful. I would highly recommend Maia to anyone who is looking to increase their own powerful presence in business or personal communications through her training programs; companies or organizations who are looking for a talented and effective speaker; or anyone who is seeking an experienced coach to help them accomplish their dreams and goals.” Lisa Ryan “As soon as you meet Maia, you can feel her "presence" as a tangible aspect of her. She comes across as confident and powerful and caring. I was delighted, the first time I saw her do a presentation, to find that she is fabulous at explaining HOW she shows up that way. This is her magic gift, her Superpower, if you will—that she is able to deconstruct and demystify a very important aspect of how we influence others, and then teach it so that ANYONE can enjoy the rewards of having a powerful, positive presence in conversations and on stage.” Jim Smith “Maia’s positive encouraging and result-orientated coaching gave me the guidance I needed to achieve success. Each coaching session was enjoyable and supportive and focused on setting clear workable targets. I whole-heartedly recommend Maia to anyone.” Robert Bylett “Maia Beatty is one of the most powerfully present and fabulous women I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her charisma, her intelligence and her insight draw people to her like a magnet and her ability to make each person with whom she comes in contact feel better for having met her is a quality that I've never seen in such concentration in any other individual.” “I was a part of the Mapping Your Journey to Powerful Presence teleclass that began in January 2010 and let me tell you - after the 12 weeks we had together, I have not only made some fantastic friends, but I am also more successful in the areas of my life in which I wanted to gain my powerful presence. This is the way to learn about your true self, to learn about others and find out that we're not so different, and to find that you just don't know what you don't know ... but you can definitely learn! “Do this for yourself as an investment in the great opportunities that lie ahead upon embracing and employing your own Powerful Presence! I highly recommend any course that Maia would ever have to offer. I can't WAIT for her retreat series! Thanks so much, Maia!” Heather Taylor “Mapping Your Journey to Powerful Presence with Maia Beatty is an extremely worthwhile adventure that will leave you with limitless possibilities to jump start your future, both personally and professionally. “With Maia's endless support and enthusiasm, you will travel from week to week, building on the principles, instilling new perspectives and developing communication skills that will spark more comfortable, meaningful and ultimately, more successful interactions with your peers, coworkers and family. “I will forever draw upon, and hold dear, the shared growth I experienced during these past 12 weeks, with the other fabulous women, who along with me, will change their lives: one opportunity, one action, one interaction at a time.” Sharon Reilly “I just completed the 12-weeks teleclass, Mapping Your Journey to Powerful Presence with Maia Beatty and six other wise and wonderful women. Everyone was at a different place on the road of life; we started off as strangers but finished as friends and discovered some rare jewels about ourselves and each other. “Maia's teaching on Powerful Presence was like an anchor during my last 12 weeks of work ... it was like a support group during 12 critical weeks of my life. This course expanded my capacity to stay in the present moment and dance with each and every thing that is presented in my life--good, bad, or indifferent.” Shirley Nelson “This small investment is in the most important thing--YOU! I know of nowhere else that you can get the information you need and have time to process it before getting the next important piece of the puzzle.” Dawn Lavensky “The first coaching call was valuable to set goals for what I really wanted – not what I thought I should want. I was surprised by what they turned out to be. The group of ladies was so wonderful and open and … all really supported each other as if we had known each other forever. I attribute that to Maia’s guidance and ‘holding the space’ for each of us. … I became centered, entered that wonderful space that was so accepting and grew! Thanks everyone and especially Maia!” Nancy Mulle “Maia is extremely skillful as a communication strategist ... when things get challenging, she is the one literally rolling up her sleeves and rubbing her hands together in anticipation of "diving in." Diving in—to the conflict, the adversity, the work of repairing relationships—all the places where most of us would prefer not to go. She is the master of successfully maneuvering crucial conversations with her clients in ways that help them to identify and work through the obstacles that are blocking their way forward.” Darla Klein “You are an inspiration to others! Your message brought passion, energy, and revitalization to everyone … Every person was able to take one thing away that was relevant to his or her life. I look forward to working with you again.” Belinda Sasala “Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and life experiences yesterday. I really enjoyed your program and can honestly say that I felt better about myself after listening to you speak. In the short time that you spoke it became clear to me that you have a unique ability to teach others how to have an uplifting enthusiasm which will help them cope with daily obstacles in their personal and professional lives.” Amy I. Kinkaid, CPA, JD, MT “Maia is the most powerful presenter that I have ever seen! Her stage presence controls the energy in any room that she is in. Her audience adores her… . This is a professional who knows how to engage, impact, and take her audience on a ride that causes life changing behavior and thinking to occur. If you haven't seen her in action, you are missing out. Talent like this is very rare!” Lisa Newberger “Maia brings unbridled passion and huge love that both comforts and calls us forth at the same time. She embodies safe and courageous. Watching her is like watching pure love in motion.” Cathy Jacob, ABC, CPCC “Maia is an insightful and gifted trainer and group facilitator. She has a keen ability to ‘read the room.’ She trains by sensing what is really going on for other people, then flexing to meet participants where they are to help them move forward.” Cris Janzen “Maia Beatty is a delight to work with! She is a terrific trainer, totally engaging and enthusiastic, involving her participants from minute one.” Susan Braverman, LCSW-C, PCC |
