Clear, Concise, Confident Communication
You and your team are experts in your field, and your knowledge makes a difference.
What is lost when your words fall short? How do you bridge the gap with others to make the next thing happen?
We help you connect the dots between your ideas, your presence, your words, and your people to keep your vision on track and grow.
You and your team have deep experience…
…technology, law, finance, sales, science, or even the workings of your own organization.
People need your expertise to address real problems and find real solutions.
You’ve seen it happen—your words guided others and made a spark.
The team lit up. The message stuck its landing. You saw collaboration and growth.
But sometimes, your words miss the mark.
You know your ideas are right. Your vision is clear. Your answers work.
But people aren’t responding. Your words aren’t connecting.
Perhaps you need to simplify and clarify, but what do you share and what do you omit?
And why did they walk away? Why did the discussion trail off? Why the silence and confusion, or even pushback?
Collaboration is non-negotiable
The skills of visioning, presence, mindset, messaging, influence, persuasion, body language, delivery and more cannot be taken for granted or ignored.
You need the whole picture.
We call this holistic view of communication “Speakership” – the collection of skills you need to close the gap between what you know and what you want to happen next.
We created The Speakership Lab for you.
For leaders, teams, and experts who need to translate knowledge into shared understanding, confidence, action, and results.
Results that make things better for others.
Results you are proud of.
Where are you in the Speakership Cycle?
After working with hundreds of leaders and teams, we see a pattern.
We found specific weak spots where leaders and teams continually asked for guidance.
Do you or your team recognize strengths or areas for growth here?
- Vision: Do you have a clear picture of what you want and where you’re going? Who needs to know that vision, and how will that message reach them?
- Presence: How do you and your team need to show up to guide the room, make things happen, and be remembered?
- Words: What needs to be said in meetings, presentations, or dialogues? How do you prepare to share your ideas and navigate surprises?
- Collaboration: Are your teams of experts siloed and a bit puzzled by each other? Does your sales process lead to transactional dead ends or build trust and ongoing partnerships?
The Speakership Lab exists to help people connect across gaps in knowledge, roles, experience, and perspectives, enabling meaningful work.
After speakership development, our clients see change.
- Next best steps are clear with a named vision
- People lean in and respond to leadership presence
- Presentations, conversations, and meetings have clarity and success
- Clients and partners shift from transactional to collaborative
- and Bonus: High-value recruits committed, attracted by the opportunity of communication development
We believe in seeing people’s strengths, meeting people where they are, and acting on what they need to make real progress today.
Because communication is not just a soft skill. It is the mechanism through which leadership happens.
So, if you or your team are navigating complexity, growth, or change—and clarity matters—let’s talk.

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.
