No boring presentations. Ever.

​I'm always engaging, educational and encouraging and resonate with all audiences regardless of size, experience level or background. I'm a teacher, so I'm intentional about incorporating visual, audible, tactile, and reading/writing learning styles and regularly use pop culture, sports and entertainment references to drive home the key principles and learning ideas in each talk. More than anything I want people to walk away with the confidence that they've grasped the concepts and can immediately apply and benefit from them. Whether virtual or in person, I'm comfortable working with a group of eight or presenting to a group of 800.  I'm easy to work with (no-diva attitudes here) and will work with you to create a learning and training experience that fits your budget and achieves your professional development goals.

Here's what others say.

"Maisha is an engaging, thoughtful, and knowledgeable presenter. Her expertise is delivered in a way that is easily digestible and allows attendees to come away with approachable solutions. After her presentation, I was ready to book her again to speak on another topic. She provides immense value and insight through her presentations."

Chelsea Smith, Co+Hoots
"Maisha makes learning fun and engaging and I appreciate the way she remains flexible - “meeting the learners” where they are and helping to pivot the lesson to meet the needs of the learner.  I came away with some real practical tools that I plan to implement right away and can’t wait to see if they make an impact."

Kari McCormick, Wenaha Group 
"Not only is Maisha one of the smartest people I know, she’s also one of the best presenters I know. The energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge she brings to her audience is unmatched. She presents solutions, not just more of the same theoretical answers some presenters leave us with. Her positive attitude and willingness to share help set Maisha apart.”

Cricket Robertson, Superior Construction
"Maisha is an amazing wealth of knowledge, and a person who brightens up the room when she walks in. A woman who tells it like it is and strives to help you grow and succeed! I definitely recommend attending her class if you ever have the chance, it's beyond fun and very insightful."
