Maggie DiStasi is a Leadership & Career Coach, and faculty member of the Business Coaching Advantage Certification Program™.I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) specializing in leadership development, career development for leaders, and coaching skills training. Before I made a career transition to coaching in 2009, I built a successful first career in finance, and held the role of Vice President, Technology in the Capital Markets division of a major Canadian bank.

I work with mid- and senior level leaders, often as they need support around taking on a new role or designing and championing a strategic initiative. My clients want to level up their skills and presence for increased confidence and greater impact. This may include creating more collaborative connections with their teams and executives, managing their own energy and reactivity for more effective leadership, and developing the bigger picture thinking required to lead at their level.

I am particularly interested in mindfulness to support effective leadership and I completed an Applied Mindfulness Mediation Specialist certificate at University of Toronto (where I am also currently completing a certificate in Strategic Leadership – Advanced). I designed and deliver an impactful workshop called “Leading Mindfully to Manage Overwhelm and Respond Creatively.”

I am on the Faculty of the Business Coaching Advantage Program™ and I enjoy mentoring leaders and professional coaches-in-training to develop the skills required to earn their coaching credential.

I value open-mindedness and non-judgment, and I’m known for a deep capacity for self-reflection and awareness-creating. I bring a sense of humor into my work with clients that makes personal and professional change creative and accessible. After an early life experience with advanced stage cancer, I learned an important lesson about valuing the quality of our present experience. I help my clients become present in the moment to take stock of what exists now and find the courage to nurture their true ambitions.
