Personal Details

Bio

A world traveler and pioneer in the Happiness movement, Maura Sweeney has addressed audiences in 15 countries and across the USA on Personal Leadership, Influence and the Power of Happiness in the workplace.

A former co-host of Tampa Bay, Florida's State of Happiness radio show and several year columnist for HuffPost, Maura is a natural unifier and uplifter pointing others toward a happier state of mind. First given the name Ambassador of Happiness by the UNESCO Center for Peace when invited to speak at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Day celebrations, she has since delivered engaging presentations with an unexpected punch that challenges audiences to see their lives in brighter and unexpected ways.

Maura has energized attendees at universities, national leadership conferences, women's conferences, corporations, American Embassy outposts and various government entities.

A thought leader whose insights apply to many facets of work and life, Maura has been featured in hundreds of media outlets including CBS, NBC, Britain's BBC radio and European press and TV. Her "Maura Sweeney Living Happy Inside Out" podcast is available on iTunes and many popular platforms.

Incorporating a lifetime of experience which includes hosting foreign exchange students, mentoring incarcerated teens, global travels and an unwitting brush with organized crime figures (see ESPN’s 30 for 30 film "Playing for the Mob"), Maura brings personal insights and acquired mettle to audiences seeking purpose, significance and happiness in their own life and their greater world.

In 2018, the All Ladies League - the largest independent women’s organization in the world - awarded Maura Woman of the Decade at its annual event in The Hague, Netherlands.

And, in 2020, Maura received the Legacy Award for Global Diplomacy at the Leap and Shine international leadership event in London, England.

Background:

Maura grew up in northern New Jersey, graduated Boston College in with a degree in Political Science and studied at Seton Hall Law School before jumping off a planned career path to discover a more purposeful one of her own.

Maura met her husband Jim at Boston College, married in 1981 and moved to Florida where she enjoyed a decade long career in corporate management. Here is where Maura honed many of her skills in developing winning teams and leaders in an engaging and positively charged culture. Maura won numerous awards over the years including the Chairman's Award for Branch Manager of the Year.

As a mom, Maura juggled volunteering, home schooling a daughter and working with her husband at their Florida-based manufacturer's rep firm selling to the world's 2nd largest computer reseller.

At midlife, Maura launched out on her true passion: engaging audiences everywhere to find and develop what makes them happy from the inside out.

Maura delivered her experience in a way that is now an experience of visitors. With hidden threads, she transfers a message on how to be an influential leader. Her style was clear and her postures and gestures talked more that thousand words. For all of us this was an unforgettable experience.

Maura Sweeney did just that. Her ability to inspire everyone in the crowd, right before the conference, got our event started on the right foot. The confidence the children had after her speech made the conference better then expected. I would recommend Maura to anyone seeking an inspirational speaker.

  • Recently we had Maura Sweeney at PSCU- a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) and a true cooperative partner serving over 850 credit unions. Maura conducted a Workshop on ‘Leading without a Title’ which was well attended and recorded for our other locations to benefit from Maura’s message as well. Maura took the time to meet with employees before the workshop to understand what our culture is all about. She did her homework! Maura energized the room. So many employees were thrilled to have participated in the workshop and were going to make changes to how they view their positions and knew they were stronger already! Maura’s message hit home to employees on Leadership and Empowerment.

  • October 2018 My organization had the wonderful pleasure of having the Ambassador of Happiness Maura Sweeney speak to my department monthly meeting. From the moment, she introduced herself to her final words, Maura was full of energy, engaging, and very thought provoking. I have many introverts in my department that do not like to raise their hands or ask questions, Maura was able to get those employees answering questions and leading the conversations at times. That was amazing feat and very rewarding for all of us. Maura shared with all of us many different “Life Experiences” that she has dealt with and many of us could compare to similar situations and even laugh and smile about some of them. Maura even took the time to stay and have lunch with all of us which added even more value to having her that day. All of us left feeling better enjoyed meeting Maura. I hope you will find any opportunity to have Maura Sweeney speak with your group or organization very soon. Thank you, Maura!! Sincerely, Roger Roscoe
