Lead with Courage. Deliver with Impact.

Helping senior executives, leadership teams and boards lead with clarity, navigate complexity, and accelerate impact.

Organizational misalignment, interpersonal dynamics, and unspoken fears can quietly stall progress. Margie helps leaders surface what’s getting in the way—clarifying priorities, strengthening trust, and turning insight into aligned action. Her human-centered approach builds the capacity to scale impact from the inside out.

A note from Margie: 

Dear  Leader and Change Maker,

You’re leading in a time of relentless complexity. Pressure is high, expectations are higher, and the stakes—organizationally and personally—have never felt greater.

And yet, even with experience, intelligence, and intent, things can get stuck.

Do any of these feel familiar?

  • You know there’s more potential—in yourself, your team, or your culture—but it’s not being realized.
  • Crucial conversations are being avoided, and unspoken tensions are draining trust and momentum.
  • Strategy sounds great in the boardroom, but execution keeps falling short.
  • Innovation is stifled by risk-aversion, perfectionism, or political caution.
  • Confidence is wavering behind the scenes—even if everyone is projecting certainty.

These are not due to a lack of capability but a need for courage. 

Grounded in organizational psychology and vertical development theory, my work is about helping leaders expand their capacity to lead through uncertainty, scale impact through others, and build the courageous cultures needed to thrive.

As a trusted sounding board and strategic thought partner, I create space for purpose driven leaders  to unpack blind spots, confront the fears that often stay hidden, and navigate the real challenges that don’t fit neatly into any leadership model.

This work is not about quick fixes. It’s about deep alignment—within yourself, across your team, and throughout your culture.

If you’re ready to close the gap between insight and impact, potential and performance, I’d be honored to partner with you.

Margie brings a rare blend of warmth, wisdom, and strategic insight. She helped our team have the conversation we needed but hadn’t dared to start.

What I Do…

Executive Coaching (Select Clients)

My coaching goes beyond strategy and surface-level behavior to address the deeper internal narratives, blind spots, and ‘courage gaps’ that quietly derail decisions and diminish impact.

Working across the personal, interpersonal, and enterprise domains, I help senior leaders expand their capacity to lead through complexity, navigate power dynamics, and scale their influence—without losing themselves in the process.

See “Leading from the Inside Out” model below.

Team Alignment & Offsites

Transformative 1–3 day offsites that deepen trust, dissolve friction, and align teams around a shared purpose. Facilitated experiences that surface unspoken tensions, bridge competing priorities, and unlock the collective wisdom and creativity within the group. Move beyond guarded politeness to courageous, purpose-driven collaboration.

Board & Executive Team Advisory

Trusted counsel for boards and senior teams navigating pivotal decisions, transitions, or tensions. Helps surface the relational dynamics—power plays, trust gaps, fear of conflict—that quietly undermine alignment and effectiveness. Facilitated to build trust, foster candor, and drive courageous, high-impact decisions.

Advisory for Leadership Development & Culture Transformation

I help leaders shape culture and accelerate change by advising on the systems, structures, and leadership mindsets that enable transformation. Grounded in organizational change and vertical development to build organizational resilience and capacity to navigate complexity and foster cultures where candor, accountability, and courage thrive.
