ABOUT US
Meet the dynamic M&M at Strengths Global! We are Coach Mags and Coach Maradee.
We work as an engaging duo in bringing our workshops to life. Our diverse backgrounds create a certain synergy becoming a living embodiment of a complementary partnership.
Trained and certified by Gallup®, the world’s leading research-based performance management company, we have conducted workshops and personal coaching for various client profiles from senior and mid-management teams to SMEs, faith-based organizations, educators and students, as well as, families, young professionals and couples. We are passionate to empower individuals, managers, and leaders to create change and to be the best versions of themselves.
Meet Coach Maradee
We always ask ourselves one of life’s compelling questions such as: What do I do best? Is there meaning in what I do? What is my purpose? How do I achieve success? My mission is to bring people on journey to exploring those questions. I want to help clients realize their potential, by taking them from where they find themselves now to their vision for the future.
I believe we should all live life to the fullest and experience the world, having scuba-dived in the seas of the orient and trekked up to the base of Mount Everest. In the same way, I see each individual and team, as treasures waiting to be discovered, navigated, and guided. And it is my hope that individuals will see themselves in the same way.
I’m proud to call myself a third-culture kid as I was born and raised in the United States but spent life going back and forth from the Philippines as well. Having lived in different parts of the globe such as South Asia, the Middle East and Europe, my experiences allow me to help others navigate cross-cultural challenges and communication issues using the language of CliftonStrengths.
With a degree in Management Engineering, I have worked in various fields such as marketing, operations and production. I am also a professional Flamenco dancer and instructor having performed and staged multiple theater productions. Just as I am passionate about the arts, I bring this same passion into my coaching. I find joy and fulfillment working alongside individuals, teams, and families as they discover greater purpose and productivity in their work and personal life.

Meet Coach Mags
I’ve always believed that each of us was created individually- as unique as our fingerprints. When I discovered Gallup CliftonStrengths and the 34 themes in 2009, it helped give way to identifying what makes each of us so unique. Furthermore, when I found out that the statistical chances of having the same Top 5 Themes in the same order was 1 in 33 million, it blew my mind!
This is my passion – bringing others into this same exciting self-discovery and harnessing the potential it can bring to our work, homes, and everyday lives. As a Strengths Coach, my mission is to bring individuals and teams from talent to strength so they can be more of who they already are.
I studied Interdisciplinary Studies at the De La Salle University in the Philippines. For 7 years, I managed a family-owned enterprise that operated several retail shops of branded sports and casual apparel. After working for the family business, I developed, conceptualized, and managed my own apparel brand called The Store With No Name.
A sudden twist of fate changed the direction of my life where I worked and volunteered in Kathmandu, Nepal, conducting different training programs on leadership, entrepreneurship and faith. My life’s work has always been dedicated towards empowering the youth and young professionals through character and leadership development.
As a Strengths Coach, I've had the privilege of conducting CliftonStrengths workshops for different companies, organizations, schools and individuals in various places such as Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Cyprus, Jordan, New Zealand and the Philippines. I have also conducted a series of workshops online.
