The résumé didn’t tell the whole story.
Maurice’s music earned national licensing opportunities with MTV, VH1, E! and Discovery. Behind the scenes, he was struggling with anxiety and depression. Rebuilding his life taught him that you can be building a professional dream while quietly living a personal nightmare.
Today, the two-time Amazon bestselling author draws on that experience and nearly a decade in counseling, coaching, and leadership development. He helps leaders work on the person behind the title, because that’s the person their teams experience every day.
