Not only are we in a time of change, but the pace of change is increasing.
In the middle of it all, you are creating. Generating a product. Shaping an experience. Forging a community. Solving a challenge. Transforming a system.
The crossing from conception to completion is unpredictable, messy, and full of pivots.
How do you join forces with others’ strengths?
Plant ideas in their minds?
Keep people directed to your vision?
Recommit to moving forward after the inevitable stumbles?
Your Speakership:
A holistic strategy to your communication skills, connecting with and guiding others through your words.

MasterSpeaker Lab operates at the intersection of public speaking, purpose, and collaborative leadership.
We start with you, highlighting the skills you and your team already have.
Through partnership, coaching, and facilitation, MasterSpeaker Lab supports growth-minded leaders and teams to communicate with presence as they navigate change and guide their communities toward their vision of the future.
We are not just a one-time boost but a resource for continued growth.
We don’t just answer, “What do I do with my hands?” but ask, “What do people need to hear?” and “How do we all show up… better?”
We don’t offer a presentation recipe but partner with you and your team to identify your strengths, distill your narrative, and embolden everyone to speak about it fluently.
Our Vision is for every leader—with or without a title— to feel sovereignty over their mindset, projects, and relationships through their speakership.
“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”
—Warren Bennis, leadership studies pioneer
CONTENT
Our clients want their words to be concise and clear. Whether a meeting agenda, presentation, conference talk, vision statement, or hard conversation, they know their words matter. They prepare their words thinking about their listeners, their needs, and how to partner together for what happens next.
MINDSET
Our clients know that their mindset is the foundation of their leadership. They have overcome some of their own internal speed bumps and know that growth isn’t possible without facing more. They are aware of their internal work and are ready to grow.
DELIVERY
Whatever room our clients are speaking in, they want to strike a balance between owning the space and inviting in other voices to collaborate. They want to show up with presence, even (dare we say) power. They have some arenas where they are masters and show up with fluent confidence, but want to stretch to feel this authentic flow more often and in more places.

Whether you’re an aspiring public speaker, a team leader, or simply seeking to make a difference, this book is your go-to, practical guide. It will inspire you to step onto your chosen stages and amplify your voice through the art of speakership.
Master Speaker Lab Praise
In their own words…
Every now and then, you work with someone who is so truly gifted and skilled at what they do that you gain a sincere appreciation for their position. Margaret is one of those amazing people who is not only able to quickly mentally digest complex concepts, she’s able transform, refine, and restructure them in such a way as to make their communication effective. I was honored to have had the pleasure of working with Margaret in preparation for my TEDxSaltLakeCity talk and much of her influence is directly present in its final rendering. I would wholeheartedly endorse her for any and all aspects of communication, public relations, and public speaking strategy functions. She is a rock star.
I had the privilege of getting acquainted with Margaret when I reached out to her about speaking at our virtual Women in Technical Infrastructure (WITI) Meetup during COVID-19. From the minute we connected, we hit it off. Margaret is extremely personable and I truly enjoyed brainstorming relevant topics for this event with her. We settled on Confidence for Critical Conversations and it was fantastic! We had amazing attendee participation throughout the event with tons of virtual engagement. That is saying a lot when everyone has Zoom-fatigue! After the one hour presentation, I received countless messages from people who enjoyed Margaret’s relatable approach and immediately applicable content. In fact, an SVP reached out to thank me for securing such an incredible speaker because she received so many tips for an upcoming speaking engagement she had the following week. If you get the opportunity to work with Margaret, seize it! I know I will be staying connected to her for years to come.
Margaret has trained hundreds of TEDx speakers, but I believe her greatest value is helping people improve their everyday communication skills. Her process helps you get out of your own way so you can be yourself, spend less time preparing for meetings and calls, have greater confidence, and get the results you want. Whether you’re an executive giving presentations or just want to improve your skills working with and leading teams, Margaret gives you the tools to deliver your Everyday TED Talks.
Margaret is an incredible leader.
Over the past three years, Margaret has been an invaluable resource to me in my role as the Chair of the Board of a not-for-profit organisation. Margaret brought together a group of people that all volunteer in related organisations, and inspired us to communicate openly with each other, to learn from each other, and to maintain these new connections across a vast geographical distance (international!). Margaret has a talent for facilitating free wielding discussions, drawing out the key ideas, identifying the right people to focus on these ideas, and then holding us all accountable to follow up and turn these ideas into something tangible. Through Margaret’s leadership, my own Board has become a stronger group, and our connections to similar Boards is a change that I believe will last much longer than any of our individual terms.
Thank you Margaret!
I’ve had the privilege to get to know Margaret and attend several of her workshops and presentations. She has an authentic heart for leading others to uncover and communicate their passion. Margaret guides them through the process of telling their story in such a way that the audience is transported into the story and they can feel every emotion of the moment. She demonstrates and teaches the ideas behind public speaking for the highest level of connection, the message and the greatest impact to the audience. Margaret has my highest recommendation!
Our work with Margaret Romney and the Speakership Fundamentals program has been instrumental in our professional growth as a team and as leaders. Through Margaret’s coaching and curriculum, we’ve improved how we collaborate and communicate as a team, and how we “show up” and present to our clients. In an environment where there’s growing competition, the Speakership Fundamental skills and tools we’re applying daily allow us to stand out by driving clarity, presence, and professionalism through storytelling. Speakership Fundamentals is a true game-changer.
