GENERAL COMMENTS
At the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society we worked with Maia on many projects over a number of years. She has done research,
conducted in-depth interviews, written reports, and helped strategize and
shape the projects with which she was involved. Outstanding work. Clear,
focused, high integrity, excellent depth of knowledge, good humor,
perceptive and sensitive, understands organizational culture, is
flexible and delivers results on time. I recommend her highly!
~Philip Snyder, Consultant and past executive director of
the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society
Maia is a conscientious, creative, sincere professional who produces
excellent work product and is very skilled in the areas needed to build
support for any project she is involved in. I highly recommend Maia for
any employment or project she may undertake and you may wish to employ
her for!
~ Phyllis Oscar, co-founder, Invest With Pride
I have had the pleasure of working with Maia on multiple marketing and fundraising projects over the course of the last few years. She has a unique ability to break down a project into simple steps allowing for quick and timely completion. Maia's intelligence is evident in her writing as well as other communication skills. She is proactive and most definitely thinks outside the box. I always look forward to working with her as she is a natural leader and a great teacher.

Over the years I've worked with many editors, and without doubt Maia is one of the very best. In fact, she'll be the first person I turn to in the future, when the need arises.

Maia worked with me on every word in every chapter to ensure that the
book would be accessible and enjoyable. I couldn’t have done it without
her.

COMMENTS ABOUT OUR RESEARCH SERVICES
Many thanks for your effective and insightful assistance to the Center in connection with our search for a new Executive Director.
~ Charles Halpern, Board Chair, Center for Contemplative Mind in Society
As ethnographers and
research anthropologists both working on various projects for
Context-Based Research Group, I found Maia to be culturally insightful
and incredibly astute when making observations and writing reports.
Maia communicates well with people on many different levels. Her
relaxed manner and style allows clients and others to easily be put at
ease and work "conversationally," adjusting any project details as
necessary. I would highly recommend Five Directions Consulting.
~Maryann Hrichak, anthropologist and Donor Relations at Zaytuna Institute
