Mia Zuckerman

After spending 20 years working in a successful, competitive IT role, Mia Zuckerman decided it was time for a change.  Having fulfilled her professional objectives in the tech world, she wanted to work in a one-on-one capacity to help people actualize their goals, and she wanted more freedom to travel and experience a variety of landscapes and regional flavors. Coaching and mentoring give her this ability while also allowing her to leverage her professional experience to help others in meaningful ways.  Assisting people in advancing in their careers, achieving their goals, overcoming obstacles, and creating sustainable work/life balance gives Mia the platform to bring her talents, experience, and interests together in a creative, supportive setting.

Mia is a lover of nature, an explorer who enjoys finding quiet spaces to sit and drink in the wonderment of her surroundings.  She is an experienced meditator, regularly making time for contemplation and deepening her practices of self compassion and gratitude.  Her centeredness, compassion, and care for the well-being of others is one of her clients’ favorite aspects about working with her.

As a lifelong student of global cultures, indigenous history, and folk practices, and as a first generation Cuban-American living in South Florida, Mia brings an inclusive perspective, an understanding and appreciation for the customs and traditions of different cultures, and the many opportunities for cultural learning and exchange in the professional setting. She and her husband, and their sweet old pup, are digital nomads for several months out of each year, working and traveling in their RV around the country.
