Maria Fafard

Senior Executive Coach and Facilitator

Maria Fafard serves as a one-on-one and team coach for leaders in government, ranging from emerging leaders to executives; designs and delivers leadership development programs for Public Service Leadership Institute; and facilitates retreats. Her passion for learning and helping human beings grow has guided her vocational path. Drawing on her experience in federal consulting, Tech and Finance, she empowers leaders and teams to reach their potential. Maria is passionate about her work and specializes in leadership maturity (vertical development), values-oriented life and career, and mindfulness. A public servant she admires is Abraham Lincoln who asserted that the legitimate object of government is “to do for the people what needs to be done, but which they can not, by individual effort, do at all, or do so well, for themselves.”
