Everything you need
to know about working
with Maria.

Yes. The framework is built on a combination of Maria's 15+ years of corporate leadership experience, evidence-based coaching methodologies, and research in organizational psychology, neuroscience, and wellbeing science.

Every step of the framework is practical, grounded in real-world application, and designed for women navigating the real complexity of high-performance careers alongside full personal lives.

Most leadership development programs focus on external skills — communication, strategy, executive presence. The L.I.V.E. Framework starts from the inside. It addresses the mindset, energy, and self-care foundation that makes external leadership skills actually sustainable.

Maria also brings something most coaches can't: 15+ years as a corporate leader herself. She's sat in the rooms, managed the teams, navigated the politics, and lived the pressure. This isn't theory. It's hard-won experience turned into a practical system.

Maria works with a wide range of organizations that want to invest meaningfully in the women on their teams, including:

• HR leaders building wellness and retention programs
• DEI teams investing in women's advancement and leadership development
• Women's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) ready for real transformation
• People managers who want to lead with more empathy and effectiveness
• Women's leadership conferences and professional summits
• Organizations experiencing burnout and disengagement among women employees

Maria offers three signature workshops grounded in the L.I.V.E. Framework, each covering different steps of the journey:

• Lead Your Mind, Lead Your Team — mindset reset and intelligent integration for women leaders
• Self-Care Is a Leadership Strategy — connecting values, energy, and wellbeing to team performance and business results
• Evolve: The Art of the Reset — reflect, release, and build habits that make sustainable leadership last

All workshops can be delivered as standalone experiences or as a full three-workshop series over 3–6 months. Custom workshops are also available.

Maria offers flexible delivery formats to fit your event or organization:

• Keynote (60–90 minutes) — for conferences, ERG events, and all-hands meetings
• Half-day workshop (3–4 hours) — immersive experience with tools and workbook
• Full-day workshop (6–7 hours) — deep dive with personalized action planning
• Full L.I.V.E. Series — all three workshops over 3–6 months

All formats are available in-person or virtually. Virtual delivery is available at a reduced investment.

Absolutely. Every engagement begins with a pre-event consultation to understand your organization's specific challenges, culture, and goals. Maria then customizes the content, examples, and language to match your audience and industry.

A pre-workshop team assessment is also available as an add-on — a survey sent in advance to gather specific insights from your team and tailor the experience even further.

Investment varies based on format, audience size, delivery method, and scope. Maria offers a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your team's needs and deliver a custom proposal within 48 hours.

Yes. Maria is based in Chicago, IL and available for in-person engagements nationwide. Travel and expenses are billed separately and will be included in your custom proposal.

1:1 coaching is for women who are ready to invest in themselves — not just their careers. It's ideal for women who:

• Are excelling at work but quietly running on empty at the end of every day
• Are working mothers navigating the tension between ambition and family
• Are stepping into a new leadership role and want to show up differently
• Are in a major life transition — postpartum, newly promoted, career pivot
• Have tried the books and the productivity hacks and are ready for something that actually sticks

Every coaching engagement is tailored to you. Here's how the process works:

• Discovery call — a free 30-minute conversation to ensure we're the right fit
• Deep intake — a comprehensive assessment before our first session
• Regular 1:1 sessions — focused, deeply personalized coaching work
• Tools & accountability — the LYV.on Blueprint workbook, habit trackers, and between-session support
• Ongoing check-ins — Maria is in your corner between sessions for real-life moments

Many women start noticing shifts in their mindset and daily habits within the first 2–3 sessions. Lasting transformation typically happens over 3–6 months of consistent work together.

The timeline depends on your specific goals, where you're starting from, and how ready you are to implement what we work on together. Maria will create a realistic plan that fits your actual life — not an idealized version of it.

All 1:1 coaching sessions are conducted virtually via secure video conferencing. This means we can work together regardless of your location and you can fit sessions into your schedule without adding a commute.

Virtual coaching also means you can join from wherever you feel most comfortable — your home, your office, or even your car between meetings.

Life happens — especially for working mothers. Maria offers flexible rescheduling with 24-hour notice. If you have a true emergency, we'll work it out. The goal is to maintain momentum in your coaching journey while honoring your real-life priorities.

Start with a free 30-minute discovery call. We'll talk about where you are, what you need, and whether we're the right fit for each other. Maria works with a small number of 1:1 clients at any given time to ensure every woman gets her full attention.

Book your discovery call at lyv-on.com/connect.
