Maria Hayes

I believe one small moment can change what happens next.
I'm Maria Hayes, a TEDx speaker, former educator, singer-songwriter and author. Through honest stories and practical ideas, I invite people to feel seen, find their courage and take their next step.
My talks explore connection, belonging and the ripple effect of how we show up for one another.
The Ripple Rule
Small moments matter. Learn how everyday words and actions can help someone feel seen and change the trajectory of their life.
Courage before
Confidence
You don't have to feel ready to begin. Explore how to take the next step while fear is still along for the ride.
