Maya Frost is an author, artist, educator, serial business owner, and change strategist. Since 2000, she has helped thousands of people face, manage, and design change. The founder of Switch Strategies, she collaborates on change projects and offers affordable change strategy sessions to creative women around the world.
She has been a preschool teacher in three countries, taught ESL to students at a private university in the U.S., worked as the vice principal of a private kindergarten, and served as the governess for the family of Jack Ma in China.
From her first business (a used/vintage clothing store) to her most recent (a wholesale glass straw company), she has merged innovation, minimalism, and sustainability to create new ways to market goods for good.
Maya´s playful, eyes-side-open approach to everyday awareness has been featured in over 160 web and print media outlets worldwide, from Parents to Penthouse, Woman´s Day to Wired. Back in 2000, she was the first to apply gamification theory to mindfulness training, turning it into a fun and effective way to increase attention in people of all ages.
Her book, The New Global Student: Skip the SAT, Save Thousands on Tuition, and Get a Truly International Education, was published by Crown (Random House) in 2009. It serves as the go-to guide for students and families looking for personalized, affordable, and thrilling learning opportunities.
A U.S. citizen, Maya has traveled extensively and lived in six countries. She has been happily married for 35+ years, and is the mother of four daughters (with two grandchildren) in Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Dubai, and Sacramento.
