DR. MAURICE A. BUFORD
SERVANT COACH
U.S. NAVY CAPTAIN (RETIRED)
After 27 years of service shaping organizational culture and mentoring future leaders across the Navy and Marine Corps, my commitment to servant leadership has only intensified. My military journey was a calling, honed by real-world experience, decisive action, and an unwavering dedication to mission success.
As a Leadership Coach, Executive Educator, and Organizational Strategist, I now offer this expertise to organizations who strive for excellence, resilience, and meaningful legacy.
I hold a PhD in Organizational Leadership, a John Maxwell certified team member and specialize in helping leaders:
-
Close the gap between intent and impact
-
Turn strategy into execution
-
Build teams that perform without burning out
-
Lead with both competence and character
Whether you're an executive guiding others through uncertain terrain or an influencer preparing for the next challenge, I am ready to help you unlock your potential and drive your team forward. Retirement was the end of my Navy career, but it is the beginning of my most important mission yet: serving those who desire to serve.
Let’s connect and take your team to the next level.
