Margaret Watts Romney helps people find the vision for what’s next, the words that fit, and the presence to carry them.

For over 20 years, she’s been guiding leaders and teams through the real work of communication: clarifying vision, showing up with calm confidence, and speaking in ways that build trust and spark action.

She’s coached over 100 TEDx speakers and founded MasterSpeaker Lab, a communication firm that works at the intersection of public speaking, neuroscience, and purposeful leadership. Her programs support clients from growing startups to Fortune 500 companies, helping them speak clearly, lead powerfully, and connect with the people who matter most.

Margaret’s work is grounded in brain science and human development, with master’s studies in Strategic Communication and certification through the NeuroLeadership Institute. Clients value her calm presence, sharp questions, joyful laughter, and the way she makes growth feel both safe and energizing.

When she’s not working with leaders, she’s rowing on the ocean, digging in her garden, hiking the trails of mid-coast Maine, or marveling at the unfolding lives of her three grown daughters.
