About Maggie
My Goal
Dr. Margarita (Maggie) Shafiro’s ultimate goal is to guide leaders to have meaningful insights and become aware of their potential while providing the support and space for them to develop areas that present opportunities and capitalize on their strengths to create a more enjoyable and productive work environment.
Background
Maggie’s extensive background and interest in psychology and neuroscience combined with her personable yet professional approach while interacting with others equip her with an evidence-based custom coaching style that empowers and inspires leaders to become the best versions of themselves.
Maggie brings her extensive experience as an industrial/organizational consultant to Northeast Executive Coaching. As a VP of Client Services for a survey company, Maggie worked closely with senior leaders and managers of large organizations, supporting and empowering them to both understand the information they received from various assessments and develop individual action plans based on feedback.
In addition to Maggie’s knowledge of the most effective leadership and organizational practices in large companies, she has also consulted and coached start-up leaders, resulting in a deep understanding of the complexities of starting a new company and making it successful. She has worked with leaders of start-ups from the very early stages through hyper-growth and acquisition.
Maggie believes awareness gained through mindfulness practices is crucial to one’s health, performance, and effectiveness. She is a certified meditation and wellness instructor and uses those tools to enable leaders to gain clarity, build resilience, and get results. Her expertise and publications in the work-life balance arena further enrich the holistic support she offers to leaders.
