Originally called the “Ambassador of Happiness” when invited to speak at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Day celebrations in 2015, Maura Sweeney has since trademarked the title. A self-styled goodwill diplomat, she has also expanded her influence and turned her vision for world change into a reality.
As a Podcaster, International Speaker and frequent Media Guest featured on hundreds of outlets including NBC, BBC, European TV and African press, Maura conveys uplifting, empowering and unifying messages that focus on choosing happiness over victimhood and personal responsibility over blame.
With travels to 60 countries and a lifetime of eclectic experience, Maura helps individuals find their voice, seekers alter their paradigms and leaders emerge into their most authentic, influential and highest versions of self.
In addition to lecturing at universities, international leadership conferences and model UN events, Maura joined Dan Akroyd, Julian Lennon, Janis Ian and others as a spoken word contributor to the 2016 world peace project, Action Moves People United. She has also been featured in Boston Globe, Tampa Bay Times and ESPN’s Emmy award winning 30 for 30 film, Playing for the Mob.
In 2018, Maura was named Woman of the Decade for Personal Leadership at the Women Economic Forum in The Hague.
