Maria LyVonne brings over 2o years of corporate experience in people leadership and organizational development to her role as a Transitional Life Coach and motivational keynote speaker. Based in Chicago, she masterfully navigates the multifaceted roles of mother, ambitious career woman, wife, friend, daughter, and sister while building her entrepreneurial venture, LYV.on—a movement dedicated to helping ambitious women thrive through life's pivotal moments.

Maria's journey into transitional coaching began with her own major life transitions, including a personal health challenge when she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and discovered stress as a major trigger. This pivotal moment, combined with navigating significant organizational changes throughout her career, led her to develop expertise in resilient change management and ultimately inspired her to create the LYV.on Blueprint Framework. Drawing from her extensive leadership background and deep understanding of workplace dynamics, she guides clients through career transitions, leadership advancement, and major life changes while maintaining their authentic voice and wellbeing.

As the founder of LYV.on, Maria operates from the core belief that transitions are opportunities for growth when navigated with intention and support. Her speaking topics range from leading authentically as a woman of color to building resilient teams through change and managing personal health during major transitions. She specializes in helping women navigate the unique challenges of advancing into leadership positions while managing evolving family dynamics and organizational restructuring.

When she's not coaching clients through transitions or speaking to corporate audiences, Maria enjoys traveling, exploring new restaurants, spa days, working out, and spending quality time with friends and family, embodying the balanced, intentional living she teaches others to achieve through life's most challenging moments..
