"I had the incredible privilege of being mentored by Lia during my time in college as a NBC Entertainment Publicity Intern. From day one, she took me under her wing, offering not only expert guidance but genuine encouragement and support every step of the way. She helped me navigate the fast-paced world of entertainment publicity with clarity and confidence, always taking the time to teach me the “why” behind the work. Whether it was connecting phones, research, navigating relationships with press and covering clients, Lia made an indelible impact on both my career and personal growth. I credit much of my professional development to her mentorship and unwavering belief in my potential. I’m deeply grateful for everything she has done for me and can confidently say I wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance."

“Lia has been a guiding force in my career from the beginning. When I was just an intern at NBC, she stood out as the most approachable, compassionate, and down to earth coordinator in the department. She welcomed every intern with open arms, creating a safe and inclusive space. Lia offered thoughtful advice, professional guidance, and genuine emotional support qualities that are rare and deeply impactful. Years later, she reached out to bring me on as her assistant for Days of Our Lives PR, once again changing the course of my career. She consistently advocated for me, protected my interests, and made sure I was seen and heard in every room. Lia didn’t just help me grow professionally, she helped me believe in myself. Her mentorship was instrumental in leading me to pursue a career in public relations, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am without her. She is someone who leads with heart, and anyone lucky enough to work with her will walk away more confident, capable, and cared for.”

"Lia has always been a kindhearted, open and encouraging guide as I've navigated my career in entertainment and also in my personal life. I met Lia at my first television internship at NBC. She was one of the few full-time staffers who always made herself available to answer questions and shared her advice as I entered this new (to me) and fast-paced industry. We've stayed in touch over the years, and I've looked to her for advice in both career and the ebbs and flows of life. She's humble, hard working, and approaches every conversation with the warmth of a friend."

"I recently had the privilege of working for and alongside Lia Maiuri, who was a fantastic leader for both our department and in my life. She is always willing to engage in authentic conversations and help out, whether it's working through a professional issue, networking question, or a personal struggle. Lia is so easy to talk to and so full of wisdom due to her expert background. She is keenly aware of optics, politics, messaging, and angles when it comes to the industry, particularly in matters of PR and Communications. When I was starting out in a new role, she made such an intentional effort to include me in meetings, invite me for coffee chats, and honed how I could take the best notes. It was also a trusted constant that our time would surpass the confines of us working together, and that she would use her contacts to connect me with the best opportunities wherever she could. Above all, Lia is incredibly smart, focused, and compassionate, making her a wonderful mentor and advocate for anyone else navigating new career moves."

“Lia is an exceptional mentor, leader, and friend. I met Lia when I was an interning for the summer at NBCUniversal, and her deep commitment to me as both a professional and person was evident from day one. As a college kid from Indiana who knew almost nothing about working in the entertainment industry, she went above and beyond by taking me under her wing and investing in me and my growth.”

"Lia is still and was always such a light and guiding force for me especially when I was early on in my career! She is someone who is easy to talk to, open up to, share wins with and share fears with, and her calm presence and perspective always made me feel at ease and like I had a plan to continue forward. She has navigated many different work places and knows how to adapt to new surroundings and also how to stand out as a positive addition to any team. I have always immensely looked up to Lia and value her advice and guidance in my life and career. Anyone would be lucky to work with her and feel supported in their early career journeys!"

"Working with Lia was truly transformative for me. She helped me recognize my value not just within my current role, but in the broader workforce. Through her mentorship, I realized how transferable my skills were and that I wasn’t aiming high enough in my career goals. Lia was a huge motivator and instigator, always pushing me to see my potential more clearly. She also supported me through my job search, offering thoughtful advice, edits, and encouragement every step of the way, and even tapped into her own network to help open new doors for me. I’m so excited to see her bring that same passion and guidance to even more people through her new company."

Lia was an incredible mentor to me throughout my early career, as she was my internship guide at NBCUniversal in Spring 2020 — also known as the semester when the pandemic hit. As my mentor, she was always offering advice on professional growth and connecting with others in the industry, but most importantly, she was a source of relief when the pandemic caused me to move back to my home state of Austin, Texas. When the internship program went virtual, Lia always made me feel that I was a part of the team, checking in on not only my work, but my well-being in such a difficult time. Her kindness and professionalism has always left its mark on me, and I am grateful to have grown in my career with the foundation of authenticity and kindness that Lia always champions.
