SPEAKERSHIP IS LEADERSHIP
Ready or not…when we speak, we lead. If we are unprepared, we have led listeners into discomfort, wondering if their time has been misspent.
When we speak with authentic connection while giving value, we have the opportunity and even the responsibility to lead our audience to their next best step, and the inspiration to act.

Working with Margaret helped me to interact more effectively with clients, colleagues, and even family members, in large part by understanding the neuroscience behind how we learn, listen, and resonate with others (especially those who don’t share our values or perspectives).
As a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant, I came to Margaret looking for advice on navigating challenging conversations with corporate leaders, and telling compelling stories with data. Margaret is able to adapt in real time and is an incredible listener. She offers the right guidance as needed; while she spent plenty of time asking questions to help me arrive somewhere independently, at times she would explicitly move us ahead by turning on consultant mode and giving me the resources I needed.
I highly recommend Margaret’s approach for anyone looking to communicate more effectively – the applications of this kind of coaching are endless and the impact goes far beyond the workplace.
“Speakership is Leadership” is a mindset that has served to elevate my idea of myself and how I show up in the world. I joined Margaret’s Speakership Collective community as my first dip into public speaking. Impressed by the providings and how Margaret managed the community, I decided to work with Margaret as my 1:1 speaking coach. I have been supported, engaged and provided learning opportunities at every step. Margaret offers a sense of dedication and empathetic listening that’s hard to find. Her approach to speaker training always culminated in actionable advice — worksheets, personal exercises, live practice — that, when applied, took me to the next level in my speakership and confidence. Speakership is leadership, and Margaret is a pro that walks the talk. I recommend Margaret as a speaking coach and an exceptional professional.
Over the last few months I’ve been working with Margaret through her Leadership Communication Coaching course. I knew that there was something that could be improved in my business and I believed that effective communication was it. I wasn’t terrible at communicating with my team, but I thought it could at least be improved. So I started working with Margaret and it was amazing how quickly the changes began. The tools that she gave me not only improved communication from myself to my team, but also from my team to me. In addition to that, people outside of my organization seem to be drawn to these changes as well. Many times we look for the next opportunity to invest in our businesses without realizing that the best investment may be into ourselves first. This has, by far, been the best investment I have ever made for myself and my business. Thank you Margaret!!
Working with Margaret on my speaker journey was one of the best investments I have made. Margaret and I worked together for a year and in that time I went from being a confident but unpolished speaker to a confident, polished speaker with 2 fully complete keynotes. My sessions with Margaret helped me develop my content and learn how to listen. My speakership journey covered my personal and professional life and the skills I learned will last a lifetime. Margaret is a wonderful coach!
Margaret has been and is a gift in my life, one of those people who changes you, who sees you, and who helps you see your own potential and ability.
I met Margaret at a pivotal point in my life, and she helped me achieve a goal that was so meaningful and impactful that it is difficult to encapsulate in words. Because of Margaret, I felt capable of accomplishing the goal of speaking in front of a TEDx audience about a topic that was intimate and important to me. Her involvement, encouragement, and coaching allowed me to distill my story and my experience into a compelling, clear, yet also vulnerable piece of work.
Margaret’s love for coaching people to share their gifts in their fullest, most vibrant, truest form shined from her face from the moment I met her, and throughout my experience with her. Even during times when my self-doubt threatened to make me quit the whole endeavor, Margaret was steady, and firm, while also soft, and loving.
Margaret has a gift. Her ability to connect to the human part of you, while coaxing out your abilities, is unmatched by anyone else I have ever met.
I would be honored to work with Margaret again, and look forward to doing so someday, for some things are just meant to be.
