Margaret moderated discussions about how to identify our own vulnerabilities, and how to support each other at times we might feel vulnerable. While feeling vulnerable often causes us to clam up and hold back, this session encouraged us to embrace vulnerability to move past our insecurities.

- celeste, VP HR, creative strategy company

"I was unsure how to begin figuring out what was next for my career. Margaret worked with me to identify and articulate my passions, strengths and goals for the future. She led me through practical exercises that enabled me to focus my efforts, develop a effective roadmap for my search and help build my confidence and enthusiasm."

- SCOTT, executive director, national arts organization

"While I was working in a sector I loved, I felt like I'd lost my spark. Margaret helped me broaden my horizons, and recognize some amazing possibilities. We explored my strengths and values, and I discovered that I had a secret entrepreneurial streak! In learning that, and many other things about myself, I was inspired to take the leap, and start my own business. My only regret is that I didn't call Margaret sooner - working with her is the best investment I've ever made in myself and my career.”

- emma, fundraising expert and business owner

"At times, I experience decision paralysis when faced with difficult moments, but Margaret’s coaching has taught me to be strong in addressing challenges, to be committed to my goals, but also gentle with myself so my work will be sustainable. She has truly taught me how to expand my realm of what I believe I can accomplish. Since our coaching has begun, I've experienced more genuine and meaningful success in my community, work and passion projects."
