Strong Communication Skills

"Maureen worked with me several years ago when I was just beginning to implement the first Montessori Program on the Navajo Nation. I was struggling with communicating how the program worked, dealing with several different oversight and regulatory entities, managing grant money, as well as general administration difficulties.

Instead of working with a client with the attitude of the holder of the answers, Maureen asks, “What is the change you want to see?” This allows for an economy of time and narrows the conversation to what is most needed. Her calm, knowledgeable approach helped me to see the strengths and opportunities in the program and in turn, this opened communication channels with stakeholders.

Maureen helped me to write an outline of the program that highlighted where Montessori dovetailed into the Dine Culture. She explained why it was beneficial to the students and the community. Maureen Powers helped me to create a successful program which is still going strong today."

Practical, Insightful Coaching

"Dr. Powers is a very practical coach, full of insight and wisdom! I worked with her for a year, first as a consultant to support with determining school goals to support students and then as leadership coach. She has a structure that sets the tone for each session and ensures that we ended with actionable goals. Every time I left my session, I felt refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated. I was provided a safe space to reflect on my practice and how it intersected with my personal life. This really helped me to figure out how to prioritize what's important and not continue to accommodate to the will of others."
