Maria D. Baez

Maria Baez was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. She has a Bachelor of Industrial Engineering, a Master of Operations Administration, and an MBA in Human Resources. Through her trials and falls, she gained logical thinking and a keen sense of what it takes to empower people within any organization. After facing discrimination based on language, gender, and race, Maria overcame these challenges to become an expert in corporate human resources, immigration policy/practices/procedures, and organizational leadership psychology. Her first book, written in English and Spanish, What's Happening to Me? What do I do? has changed the lives of many girls worldwide, and her second book Mindlessness: The art of Living an Unconscious Live, is helping leaders and individuals worldwide combat automaticity at the workplace. Maria holds a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her dissertation explored Mindful Leadership's influence on employees' occupational stress and organizational culture. Some of her work and certifications include the Mindful Leader Talk Podcast, Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, New York City and New York State M/WBE Certification, Certified Success Principles Trainer, and Strategic Intervention Coach.
