Keynote Speaker on Leadership Wellness
Sustainable Success, and Shifting from Doing to Being
Meet Miara Shaw
Miara Shaw, known as Maven Miara, is a leadership wellness keynote speaker, executive facilitator, three-time published author, and podcast host with more than 27 years of corporate experience. Before launching Miara Shaw Enterprises, she spent 15 years as a natural gas trader at Fortune 500 energy companies, where she learned firsthand what it means to execute under pressure, lead with precision, and sustain peak performance over time.
After a pivotal career transition in 2014, Miara channeled her corporate expertise into a leadership development consultancy built on one guiding philosophy: Lead Well. Live Well. Today she serves Fortune 500 companies, governmental agencies, educational institutions, and entrepreneurial communities, delivering dynamic keynotes, executive coaching, corporate workshops, and leadership retreats that help high-performing professionals build confidence, create sustainable success, and reclaim joy in both their work and their lives.
The Divine Pause Framework™
In a world that rewards constant motion, Maven Miara introduces audiences to the most powerful leadership move most people never make: the pause.
The Divine Pause is creating deliberate distance from the noise and chaos so you can hear what actually matters. It is not running away. It is running toward clarity, peace, and divine direction.
Rooted in her own journey from energy trader to leadership consultant, The Divine Pause Framework™ and the Sustainable Leadership Scale gives leaders a practical, repeatable practice for stepping back with intention so they can move forward with power. Audiences leave with a process for making clearer decisions, reducing reactivity, and accessing their most grounded, effective leadership.
This framework anchors Maven Miara’s keynotes, workshops, and the signature physical tool she created, The Pause Card, a tangible NFC-enabled prompt used by attendees as a reminder to initiate a two-minute intentional pause whenever they need it.
The Divine Pause Framework™
Best for: Women’s conferences, wellness events, leadership summits, church and faith-based organizations
Using The Divine Pause Framework™, Maven Miara helps audiences create deliberate distance from the noise of constant doing so they can reconnect with what matters most. Attendees leave with a mindset shift and a practical process for leading from a place of presence rather than pressure.
