María Tomás-Keegan
María Tomás-Keegan is the founder & CEO of Transition & Thrive with María, a private coaching practice focused on helping women face major career and life transitions move through and beyond them with resiliency and grace.
María specializes in transitions—what she calls “the Upside Downs of Life.” A successful transition is grounded in the deep understanding of personal core values, a crystal-clear vision of the future and a passion for taking meaningful action to move forward. Her 30-year career in corporate management, coupled with her experience with life-changing events along the way, has evolved into compassion for women who feel they need to be super-human. Family, friends, community, and career make for a very full plate, and many women feel the need to be perfect at all of it, all the time. You’re not alone!
When life events turn a woman upside down, there is an alternative to putting on a mask, pretending they are just fine, while they are crumbling inside. Having tools in their treasure chest, and putting strategies into practice, can prepare them for any major life event. When they stumble, they can make it part of their dance.
