Meet Maret McCoy

As an experienced executive coach, Maret helps professional women discover their authentic career fit - a job that offers fulfillment and is a match with their greatest skills and interests.  She knows all too well the struggles of working in the wrong job, having experienced it first hand.  Now, after a decade of working in the corporate world and over eight years of owning her own coaching firm, she works in her dream job and helps other women achieve that same level of career fulfillment and satisfaction for themselves. 

Maret has coached hundreds of professional women from a wide variety of backgrounds including communications, law, technology, finance, education and health care.  She has worked with women from corporations such as Accenture, Fidelity and BAE Systems; major philanthropic organizations such as the Red Cross and the World Wildlife Fund; and federal agencies such as the Justice and Treasury Departments. 

Maret has also coached women attorneys at ten of the top 100 law firms in the nation.  She has coached an attorney at The White House who said:  "Maret is a cut-above in the coaching profession.  I highly recommend her services to others who want to achieve results now!" 

Maret's diverse professional background - having worked in the private, government and nonprofit sectors - provides her with a depth and breadth of career experience that she freely shares with her coaching clients.  Her education includes a Master's degree in Public Policy and a Bachelor's degree in Economics as well as coach training credentials. 

She loves being a coach and thrives on helping women achieve true career and personal satisfaction.  Her role as an executive coach and businesswoman is in perfect alignment with her greatest strengths and passions and she is dedicated to helping other women find the same level of professional fulfillment. 

Prior to launching her coaching business, Maret worked for over a decade in both business and politics.  In the private sector, she held several managerial positions in which she played an integral role during rapid growth and expansion phases - contributing to business strategy, systems development and operational optimization.  Maret has also held staff appointments within the United States Congress and the New York State Senate.

Maret meets with clients via telephone.  This allows them to receive coaching from wherever it's most convenient for them: at the office, home or while traveling.  She serves clients across the U.S., as well as internationally.

Maret is passionate about helping women live life to the fullest while enjoying both career and personal success!
