Meet Maria Haggo
Helping Leaders & Organisations Create Corporate Harmony™ | Neuroscience-Driven Consultant | TEDx Speaker | Stress, Burnout & Brain Health Expert
As a Neuroscience-driven Culture Transformation Consultant, Executive Coach, and TEDx Speaker with an MSc in Psychology & Neuroscience (King’s College London), Maria supports leaders and organisations to restore balance, resilience, and purpose.
As founder of Transform8 her mission is bold but simple:
To make 10,000 leaders 10% more conscious, connected, and compassionate. Because when leaders transform from within, they don’t just create better workplaces — they build thriving communities and a stronger world.
But her work goes beyond single organisations. It connects to a global shift toward the Brain Economy, where brain health, resilience, and inner capacities like compassion and collaboration are seen as essential to economic and social flourishing.
As a Founding Member of the ANA UAE Chapter, Maria will be making a tremendous volunteer contribution to advancing our shared mission for global impact through regional and global initiatives!

The Future of Work
Maria is founder of Transform8 where the NeuroHarmony™ Framework was developed — a science-backed approach that integrates:
● Brain Health – optimising cognitive performance
● Nervous System Regulation – reducing stress and building balance
● Conscious Leadership – fostering compassion, clarity, and inclusion
This proprietary framework empowers leaders to shift from fear-based, reactive management to a connected, purposeful style of leadership. When leaders regulate their inner state, they unlock clarity, trust, and innovation in their teams. Through workshops, programs, retreats, and executive coaching, we support organisations in tackling the challenges that undermine engagement and performance:
Stress and burnout; Conflict and disconnection; Lack of psychological safety; Inclusion and belonging gaps
The outcome is what Transform8 calls Corporate Harmony™; workplaces where people feel safe, engaged, and valued, and where performance thrives because the human brain is supported, not depleted.
The Results?
Organisations that embrace this approach see measurable improvements.
