My name is Maria McEvoy and I am a bilingual Personal Coach and Organizational Psychologist in private practice. In a trusted collaboration I help the client think more clearly and progress by using a powerful process of inquiry, meticulous goal setting and accountability. Through coaching I…

Help you achieve highly valued goals you’ve been unable to reach on your own.

 

I will compassionately and pragmatically challenge your thinking.

 

Offer a style of coaching that is solution and future-oriented.

As your coach I will ask powerful, solution-focused questions, to help you “think about your thinking”, gain clarity and perspective, and establish the necessary steps to reach your ultimate goal. I don’t offer solutions to problems; I quiet the noise in your head so you can hone in on your authentic “InnerVoice,” and map out a detailed plan to meet your personal goals.

There is a voice inside of you That whispers all day long, “I feel that this is right for me, I know that this is wrong.” No teacher, preacher, parent, friend Or wise man can decide What’s right for you-just listen to The voice that speaks inside.

~ Shel Silverstein

🌟 In coaching, YOU are the expert of your own life! 🌟
My role as a coach is to ask powerful questions that help you tap into your own toolbox and uncover creative solutions. This process is designed to move you towards your goals using your unique strengths and insights.
If I solve the problem for you, I risk disempowering you and often solving for the wrong issue. True empowerment comes from within, and my job is to guide you in discovering your own path to success. 🌱✨ #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

Ever think about what life would be like without habits? Imagine having to Google “how to tie shoelaces” every morning 🤯. Habits are our brain’s way of putting the little things on autopilot, freeing us up to focus on the big stuff— like looking for a new job, learning a new language, preparing for that tough conversation, working towards a coveted goal. They keep us from turning into frazzled messes trying to remember if we brush our teeth before or after our morning coffee ☕️. Cheers to habits for keeping our lives running smoothly (and our shoes tied) and freeing up brain 🧠 space for higher functions! #personaldevelopmentcoach #coachthetrainers #lifecoachnyc #habithacking #thinkbetter

🚨Ever tried to change or influence someone and failed miserably? Welcome to the club! That’s a tough pill 💊 to swallow when you’re a coach, mentor, parent, teacher.

🌟 Identifying Your North Star 🌟

Personal development, is not just about what you do, but WHO you are. That’s where identifying your core values becomes essential. 🚀

Core values are the guiding principles that define your essence, shaping your beliefs, behaviors, and decisions. When you pinpoint these values, you gain a compass for navigating life authentically and intentionally. And when you act in opposition to your core values, it does not feel good.

As a personal development coach, I emphasize the importance of diving deep into your core values. They serve as the foundation upon which you build a life aligned with your true self. 💫

By understanding and honoring your core values, you empower yourself to make choices that resonate with your authentic self. 🌱

Together we can uncover your core values and map out the path to your personal growth! 🌟 #PersonalDevelopment #CoreValues #AuthenticLiving #TrueSelf #CoachingJourney #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

🚗 Embarking on a goal without a plan is like setting off on a road trip without punching an address into your GPS. You’ll just end up going in circles! 😂 Collaborating with clients is all about ensuring we’ve got that destination dialed in, the route mapped out, and enough snacks for the journey (because, priorities!). Let’s make sure we’re not just spinning our wheels, but cruising towards success together! 🌟 #CollaborationStation #GoalsGPS #NoMoreCircles 🛣️ #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

🌟 Strategizing for Success: Facing Obstacles Head-On! 🌟

🚧 When chasing your goals, obstacles are not surprises—they’re expected challenges along the way. But being prepared for them is key to staying on course!

💡 That’s why having a solid strategy with your coach is essential. Together, you can anticipate potential roadblocks, plan for them, and navigate through with resilience.

🛠️ Whether it’s a setback at work, a personal hurdle, or an unforeseen obstacle, your coach is your partner in strategic planning. Together, you can brainstorm solutions, adjust your approach, and keep moving forward!

🌈 So don’t let obstacles catch you off guard. Embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning. With the right strategy and support system in place, you’re equipped to conquer anything! 💪 #StrategicPlanning #OvercomingObstacles #KeepMovingForward #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

“❓Are you repeating 🔁 or evolving?

When you’re stuck in paralysis by analysis, remember: any action is better than none. It signals to your brain that you’re trying, moving, and no longer stuck. Even if it’s a mistake, you gain valuable knowledge. Keep evolving, keep growing! 💡 #ProgressOverPerfection #KeepMovingForward #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

Sometimes any action is better than none.

The willingness to change comes when the pain of staying where you are is too great.

🍎 The “Apple” Exercise: A Window into Unique Perspectives 🍏

🌟Before diving into coaching sessions, I always kick things off with what I call the “Apple” exercise.

🌟 I ask participants to envision the word “apple” and share what comes to mind 🌟

🌟The responses? They’re as diverse as the individuals themselves: from the iconic Apple logo to delicious pie, from thoughts of health to memories of childhood teachers and doctors.
🌟Why do I do this?

Because it beautifully illustrates the uniqueness of our thought 🧠 patterns.

🌟Just like how one simple word can spark a myriad of interpretations, bigger concepts like “happiness,” “fulfillment,” or “next chapter” mean different things to different people. 🤔
🌟Understanding this diversity is crucial in coaching. Before guiding someone towards their goals, we must first unravel what those goals truly mean to them.
🌟It’s about delving deep into personal definitions, unraveling complexities, and crafting a roadmap that aligns with their individual journey. 🗺️
🌟So, the next time you utter a desire like “I want to be happy” or “I’m searching for fulfillment,” remember: there’s a world of meaning behind those words. And together, we can navigate that world to uncover your unique path to success. 🚀 #CoachingJourney #UniquePerspectives #DefineYourGoals #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

🌟 Why Personal Development Coaches Shouldn’t Always Give Advice 🌟
🐝 In a world buzzing with advice-givers, sometimes the most powerful thing a life coach can do is to resist the urge to hand out solutions like candy. 🚫🍬 Here’s why:
* Empowerment over Dependency: Instead of spoon-feeding answers, empowering individuals to navigate their own paths fosters long-term growth and independence. 🌱💪
* Deep Listening: By actively listening without rushing to provide solutions, coaches can uncover layers of insight, helping clients to better understand their challenges. 🧠👂
* Uncovering the True Issue: Often, what seems like the problem on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg. By refraining from immediate advice-giving, coaches can dive deeper and address the root causes. 🕵️‍♂️🔍
* Encouraging Self-Reflection: When advice isn’t readily available, clients are prompted to explore their own thoughts and feelings, leading to profound self-discovery. 🌟✨
Remember, sometimes the issue at hand isn’t the real issue. By refraining from quick fixes and embracing the power of inquiry, life coaches can guide their clients towards authentic growth and lasting change. 💼🌱 #LifeCoaching #Empowerment #DeepListening #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

A clip 🎞️ from my Coach The Trainers workshop at Life Time on the importance of 🛑 not settling for average.

🌟 Don’t let missed opportunities cost you your growth! 🌟

✨Mediocrity is the enemy of excellence✨

✨Whether it’s professionally or personally, every missed chance to learn and evolve is a step back from becoming the best version of yourself✨
✨ Embrace every challenge, seize every opportunity to learn, and watch how it shapes your journey towards success.
💪 Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back – the cost of missed opportunities is too high. 🔥 #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife

🌟 Embracing Acceptance vs. Falling into Complacency 🌟

🌔In life, there’s a fine line between acceptance and complacency.
🌔Acceptance allows us to acknowledge and make peace with our current circumstances, fostering growth and resilience. It’s about finding peace within ourselves amidst the chaos.
🌔However, complacency can sneak in when we become too comfortable with the status quo, hindering our progress and potential. It’s important to recognize the difference and strive for a balance that pushes us forward while staying grounded in acceptance.
🌔Remember, acceptance doesn’t mean settling. It means understanding, adapting, and then taking action towards positive change. 🌔Let’s embrace acceptance while staying vigilant against complacency, for it’s the key to unlocking our fullest potential. ✨ #Acceptance #Complacency #PersonalGrowth #getunstuck #impostersyndrome #LifeCoach #trainyourbrain #nyclifecoach #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #MindsetMatters #GoalSetting #SuccessMindset #AchieveYourGoals #CoachingWorks #GrowthMindset #SelfDiscovery #MindsetCoach #TransformYourLife
