What others are saying:

  • “I have sincerely enjoyed my series of coaching sessions with Dr. Craig Maier over multiple months. He is not only an engaged listener, but also offers steady, meaningful suggestions and activities to help facilitate growth toward my desired goals. I began our series mired in the challenges of academic course prep and delivery, and laborious re-tooling due to the pandemic. I ended our series feeling more proficient in time management, adaptive transitioning between micro and macro perspectives, and work-life balance. I feel more confident, and peaceful.”

  • “I had the privilege of experiencing Craig’s coaching in my final year of graduate school as I asked myself what my next steps were. In a time that felt solitary and slightly chaotic, Craig skillfully guided each conversation to help me discover what were the known variables in the midst of the unknown. I was able to define what I wanted in a job, locations of interest, long-term goals, and passions that held true both personally and professionally. I am thankful for Craig’s wisdom and his ability to draw out answers while finding the perfect timing to give insight.”

His willingness to listen and generosity of spirit has been instrumental in helping me find my path forward. I highly recommend him as a coach."

  • “In our first session, Craig explained that while mentoring says ‘let me show you how I got where you want to be’ coaching says ‘let's see if together you and I can take you somewhere no one has ever been.’ Coaching delivered on that promise. Conversations with Craig helped propel me past mental obstacles and resentments that kept me from doing work that is meaningful and important to me. Now, I have a better understanding of how to leverage my passions into successes that are personally fulfilling, good for my career, and contribute to the well-being of my communities.”

  • “With thoughtful words and expressed interest, Craig has helped me think through many layers of my life. I am challenged to think, but guided by questions that converge to extract new perspectives from one original thought. He carefully examines each part of the bigger picture, thereby making him an excellent problem solver. His commitment to the people he coaches is evident in the quality of his work. We have had many insightful and effective conversations that have given me the ability to progress professionally and personally.”

  • “Working with Craig has been an absolute pleasure. When I started coaching, I was eager to better understand what sort of career I would be best suited for. Our conversations certainly achieved this, and I found I left every session with increased clarity and focus. Each session, Craig skillfully created a space that allowed me to better understand myself and this coupled with his energy and care made our sessions invaluable. Thanks to Craig’s holistic approach to coaching, my self-awareness has grown exponentially, and this has allowed me to better understand how I can attempt to improve the lives of those around me. ”
