What is Executive Coaching? 

 

Coaching targets professional development, focusing on improving skill sets and ultimately, business results. It is typically comprised of a series of structured one-on-one meetings, over a 6-month timeframe aimed at enhancing the client’s performance on two levels:

 

• Individual Performance

• Organizational Performance

 

What is Accomplished through Coaching?

 

• Identifying strengths and development areas

• Unlocking potential

• Setting professional development goals

• Developing an action plan

 

What tools are used in coaching?

 

• Questioning techniques

• Homework assignments

• Neuro science techniques

• Self Awareness assessments

  • Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

  • 360 Feedback surveys

  • Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)

  • StrengthFinders

  • Emotional Intelligence

 

Coaching is not therapy or psychological counseling.  All coaching conversations are confidential, except in the case of real or imminent abuse, harm or unlawful behavior.

Testimonials

 

I participated in a few of Margie’s classes over the years, most recently the Women Empowering Women workshops, which were amazing experiences for me.  Exchanging ideas and stories with other professional women, while being coached, inspired, and challenged by Margie, provided a holistic approach to achieve new levels of empowerment to further meet my potential!  Margie provides the pathway to self-reflect and apply new ideas and practices to our everyday lives – home and at work.  I would highly recommend the WEW programs and working with Margie!

Margie is a great executive coach!  In the year we worked together as a part of a leadership program, Margie helped me with a break through to better understand my values and how to use them to prioritize my time.  She helped me develop a decision matrix so I can confidently say NO to some requests of my time - so I have room to say YES to the opportunities that will help me stretch and excite me.  I highly recommend Margie if you are looking for someone who is able to cut to the chase, ask tough questions and hold you accountable until you can hold yourself accountable.

As a coach, I have been studying and trying to implement ICF competencies in my sessions for a long time. I have worked with Margie as my mentor coach during my journey, and she was very helpful and inspirational to me. She was always prepared and aware of my needs. She is a great coach and mentor.

Margie has a special way of helping people find their own answers.  When I worked with Margie I was in the middle of a personality conflict with a colleague. I saw no hope of things getting better, however, with Margie's coaching, I was able to envision and transform the tension into a successful working relationship that got results for my team and organization.  This was a huge professional milestone.
