“Maureen Edward's Ingennicom Communications AI Workshop on harnessing the power of AI was an eye-opening experience. Instead of overwhelming theory, Maureen provided a practical approach with tangible, ready-to-implement strategies. As someone who works in Human Resources, I found the focus on actionable insights particularly valuable. Maureen's clear explanations and real-world examples allowed me to immediately understand how I could leverage AI in my daily tasks. Since attending the workshop, I've implemented several of Maureen's tips and seen a significant improvement in my work output. I'm not only achieving better results, but I'm also saving a considerable amount of time and effort. This workshop is a must for anyone who wants to learn how to harness the power of AI and transform the way they work.

“Before taking Maureen's "Navigating the Future: Embracing AI in Business" workshop, my website wasn't attracting my ideal clients, and my content was general. Attending her workshop completely changed that.  She further opened my eyes to the power of AI and provided actionable strategies to put it to work.  By using the tools she shared, I changed the verbiage on my website to resonate with my ideal clients, and that led to a significant increase in bookings. I also learned how to use AI in crafting engaging content for my social media posts with clear calls to action, which has driven more traffic and leads.  As a website designer, I can now use these same AI tools to create targeted content and marketing materials for my clients. Since implementing what I've learned the time spent on creating content has drastically decreased. I am now able to focus more on what I do best, designing websites! If you're looking to attract your dream clients, improve your marketing, and take your business to the next level, I recommend working with Maureen!”

This knowledge inspired me to create two comprehensive guidebooks focused on personal branding strategies. These guidebooks are now essential in my business product lineup, empowering women professionals to confidently step into their memorable personal brands with authenticity. Maureen's AI workshop equipped me with the knowledge to create these valuable resources and ignited a passion for integrating technology with personal branding."

“Maureen recently helped my company updating our website. The old website was antiquated and had a lot of broken links. Maureen took the time to understand every detail of my business and created a simple, elegant, easy to navigate website that explains it all at a reasonable price. The improvements she made are priceless as is her experience and expertise. She then helped update my pitch deck presentation which is prenominal now. I no longer get stressed trying to memorize everything because the deck says it all. I am extremely thankful for her ability to transform my website and deck into a work of art and deeply grateful I have her in my village.”

Thank you, Maureen!! I am grateful for all the knowledge and experience you shared with me!! Thank you very much for this wonderful experience!”

— María del Rocío Feaster, CEO, I-MIND

“The V.A.L.U.E course was a game changer for me. The business was 3+ years old, and we hadn't solidified the branding, taken steps to reduce unnecessary spending, or put a plan together for emailing clients. Maureen helped organize all the crucial steps and how to take the business to the next level. I would definitely recommend Maureen Edwards and the V.A.L.U.E. program to both new entrepreneurs as well as anyone who has been in business for a while.

“During my tenure as chair of Southern Maryland Chapter of SCORE, I recruited Maureen Edwards to offer a series of classes covering the fundamentals of marketing. I attended the classes and came away with a deeper grasp of “must-know” marketing and branding techniques. Most impressive is Maureen’s mastery of the subject matter. Her approach is to sequence each training module in a logical, coherent way so attendees not only learn the “why” but also the “how.” She provides entrepreneurs with a thorough overview and a set of tools they could immediately apply to their own business without additional training or the need to engage consultants.

Maureen is a high-energy, impactful presenter. Her enthusiasm for the subject is inspirational. Her willingness to share what she knows makes her a cut above other teachers who all too often hold back on sharing the “secret sauce.” Every entrepreneur should take advantage of her expertise found in every class.”

― Bob Rotella, JD, Former Chair, SCORE Southern Maryland

“For the past 3 years, Ms. Maureen Edwards has taught her 8 Simple Step’s curriculum to students at Anne Arundel Community College through SCORE. It is rich with content that’s easy to comprehend for business people who are new to marketing across all age groups. Those with limited tech experience get a lot of value out of the program and moving the classes online due to COVID-19 has been an easy transition for them. The classes provide real-world examples of what not to do and what tips to do that really drive growth. The feedback from students is overwhelmingly positive. On top of that, she has been a keynote speaker and organizer of our Women’s Entrepreneur Conferences to help them reach their business goals. Based on feedback from clients we work with who have taken her classes, I recommend these courses for the value and results you get for such a minimal cost.”

― Carson Zake, Mentor, SCORE Southern Maryland

“I took a series of regularly scheduled Zoom-based teaching workshops with Maureen, where I was the only participant. Throughout my sessions, Maureen was not only highly professional and informative, but she was also highly attentive to my statements and remarks. The information she taught was wonderful, insightful and on-point. And, Maureen’s capacity to respond to my unique situation, and to offer salient advice and suggestions was FIRST-RATE. If you are looking to become more focused on your business goals, and to have someone to help guide you to achieve those goals in a professional and insightful manner, then may I suggest that you should put Maureen on the TOP OF YOUR LIST! Thank You Maureen, for your invaluable advice, your professional attentiveness, and your warm and engaging personality. I truly appreciate your help!”

“I had the pleasure of attending several of Maureen’s classes on the most effective use of Social Media. Her classes are rich with content and she gives practical advice as to the best use of social media for small businesses. What I find to be particularly effective are the real-world examples of both “what works well” and “what doesn’t work well.” She addresses such topics as building an effective company website, effective use of that website in gathering data, capturing the attention of a target market and most importantly, achieving one’s revenue targets. Maureen demonstrates her depth of knowledge and uses an enthusiastic approach that clearly resonates. She continues to teach online and face-to-face classes (after Covid-19 passes) on a variety of business subjects for our organization.”

― Christopher A. Taylor, Committee Chair, SCORE Southern Maryland

“8 simple steps bridged the gap of theory and practice in a clear, concise, and effective manner. The class on creating a brand synthesized concepts, best practices, and examples of marketplace winners into implementable tips for long term success. I have not found many other classes that offer this level of detail for the small business owner. Maureen really cares about each individual in her class, checking in regularly for feedback to make it a better experience. As an entrepreneur who must wear all hats, I really appreciate the tutorials that simplify the research and learning curve. I am looking forward to the new courses that promise a next level of marketing know-how. Thanks 8 simple steps and Maureen.”
