Coaching Testimonials

“Working with Margie is absolutely one of the most transformative experiences of my life. In going through this journey she was able to help me unlock so much in me that I now know was waiting to burst out. Before the program, I felt stuck and in need of change for months (if not years) and despite many fits and starts of trying things on my own, I was just not happy and did not see how I was going to get there. Margie had the knowledge, keen listening ear and perfect assertiveness to help me figure out how to unlock what was inside of me and today I am a changed person. I have more energy, I believe deep down in my heart that I am worthy, and am excited to continue to grow. This was a journey my heart knew that I needed and I am truly blessed that the universe aligned to allow me to work with Margie.” - Eric

“I was at a crossroads in my life where issues and self-limiting beliefs had finally bubbled to the surface and I could no longer manage them on my own.  I was afraid to address these issues, as well as afraid of the feedback I might have to work through. I was in a place where I had felt stuck for so many years - and sinking further and further into believing the self-limiting thoughts I had about myself.  My journey with Margie opened my eyes and allowed me the safe space to transform my life to be more dialed into who I am, love that person, and unleash my potential.  Margie’s attention to detail with exercises/homework crafted to my needs were amazing.  Her ability to listen without judgment & being my cheerleader allowed me to dig in and unpack the baggage to work through it and free myself.  I truly believe with all my heart that this journey was a priceless investment in myself to be fully aligned with my core values and what I want in my life. Throughout our time together I have made so many strides, feel free, love myself again, and have a greater awareness for what is healthy and meant for me.  This has resulted in more energy to be fully present in my life - improving personal and professional areas of my life.  I am blessed and grateful.” - Mary

“I met Margie through a group workshop and immediately knew she was a strong woman, easy to relate to, a good listener and someone I could trust to help me get out of the rut in my life where I was feeling so “stuck.”  Margie helped me align with my core values, dig into my strengths and define and work through the key areas in my life that I so badly needed change. She has a way with listening, paying attention to all the little details, asking questions to provoke perspective and growth, while also being your biggest cheerleader! She assigns exercises that are individually crafted to address exactly what you need. Even though Margie and I had not met in person, she has a way with building a connection and being so thoughtful that you know she truly cares. I would highly recommend working with Margie. Throughout our four months together I have gained so much perspective, unpacked and let go of baggage I’ve been carrying for years, and built confidence that has already made huge strides in my career and my relationships across my life. There is no doubt in my mind that having Margie as your coach will change your life!” - Kate

“What makes Margie such an excellent coach is her ability to challenge your thinking while celebrating your personal wins at the same time. Some people might be afraid to try coaching because they are scared of feedback or facing the really hard stuff that is holding them back, but working with Margie is not like that at all. She helped me really see myself in a positive light and reframed my challenges in ways that helped me understand myself better. Instead of seeing my failures, she helped me think about how those challenges uncovered my values and the things I really wanted for myself. I started coaching because I was afraid of repeating old patterns when I started a new job, but as I worked with Margie, I realized that what I wanted was much deeper than that. I wanted to be valued and seen, which meant tackling my ability to truly love myself. I was always someone who just thought of self-love as a kind of selfishness, but working with Margie, I realized that loving myself is something I can practice every day, it’s not a feeling. Now, I am able to speak up at work and confidently share my perspective, without fear. She provided me with tools to learn about myself and listened to me as I reflected on what I learned. If you want to work with a coach who will help you uncover your gifts and identify your unique contributions, I can’t recommend Margie enough. You will learn, be challenged, and feel energized after every session. After my coaching journey with Margie, I value myself so much more and I know that I have something special to offer this world.” - Rachel

“Recently, I completed Margie’s signature life coaching program. During my coaching journey, I discovered a deeper part of myself that I never knew. Working with Margie has taught me that I have all the tools I need, but expressing what I truly need and want is the key for me to feel happier and lighter in my relationships, my occupation, and my passions in life. Throughout this program, I was able to work through situations that were rooted deep, even back to childhood. At first, I had my guard up because it is uncomfortable to feel and show vulnerability, but Margie was with me every step of the way and made me feel supported like I never have before. Margie was the perfect coach for me. She pushed me outside my comfort zone, guided me, and allowed me to completely be myself. I have never worked with someone like Margie before and I feel confident at the end of this program to move forward and take on all that life brings because of the progress I gained in working with her.” - Amy

“I began working with Margie after two solid decades of pushing myself professionally-- through graduate school, at private equity firms, investment banks in Chicago, New York, and Denver.  As a senior executive with a career that I love, I found myself without any of the tools and habits necessary to live a life in balance. Margie led me on an intellectual and personal path to identifying my core values, and understanding how to thrive in a life of professional dedication and personal joy and intention. She maintains an incredible attention to detail and a constant flexibility in her approach. She was always ready and able to pivot mid-session if something new came up or if an earlier issue found resolution. That kind of agility also shows up in her assignments—perfectly customized and suited for what I was working on. Our discussions and her perspectives still resonate with me daily and I am a stronger, smarter, and happier leader, partner, and father because of our work together.”  - Christopher

“I am so grateful for my time with Margie and the transformative experience I have had with her as my life coach. Margie’s talent for guiding clients through this process is what makes working with her so special. Her ability to quickly make a connection, build a space of trust and comfort, and find focus is exceptional. She brings an impressive professional background, and her program structure, targeted questions, and homework assignments help guide you through a process of self-discovery and make you feel seen and heard. Before starting this program, I was overwhelmed, anxious, and aimless. Within a couple of sessions, those feelings began to shift and melt away as I gained clarity on what makes me tick and insight on the causes of my stress and patterns. I am a different person from when I started and I cannot thank Margie enough for her role in this. I am more aligned with my core values and am ready for the next step in my journey.” - Erin

“I met Margie through a leadership program and before she launched her coaching businesses.  I was immediately drawn to Margie's fun and warm personality. Her ability to not only ask really thought provoking questions but to listen and actually hear you is a natural gift.  It is no wonder she is such an effective coach. When I decided to engage Margie as my coach I was really looking for help in navigating the work-side of my life where I felt stuck, lonely, lacking direction, and inability to say ‘no’ to things that I knew I should. The first thing Margie had me work through was developing my personal why, my values and my program goals.  These key elements helped create a new direction and lens to look through not only my work life but also my life with my friendships, my spouse and my children.  She went way beyond my expectations as a coach that could get me unstuck at work and she got me unstuck in my life. Since completing the program, I feel free. This program has given me the time I have needed for years to look into who I am, what I value and most importantly how to stand up for myself through this lens.  I can now speak with conviction on who I am, what I want (and what I don’t want), and where I am going. This program has unleashed the self induced shackles I have put on my life and opened up a world of new confidence to take with me.” - David

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Margie through her signature life coaching program and the experience far exceeded my expectations. I fully believe that some of the insights gained through working with Margie will not only benefit my career but also my entire life. Margie truly cares about her clients and you can feel that in every conversation.  She has the unique ability to listen and is very comfortable guiding you through deeper questioning to help you come to your own conclusions.  Margie is highly engaged with her clients and her energy is infectious. When I came across Margie, I was nearing the two-year mark of being a business owner and “solopreneur.”  I was excited about the progress I had made in my business but was also experiencing feelings of discontent about where I wanted to be.  Margie helped me to acknowledge those feelings and explore where they were coming from so that I could truly move past them and more fully enjoy the entrepreneurial journey. Margie helped me to implement systems in my business that will help me to be more efficient and more profitable.  She has helped me to tap into my top strengths while also allowing me to become more aware of potential blind spots. I can confidently say that I am a more organized business owner and a stronger leader after our time together. I had only known Margie for a short time before signing up as a client but the experience felt like working with a best friend.  I cannot recommend Margie enough and working with her will change your life!” - Bess

“I was referred to Margie by my supervisor, who was a classmate of hers in their Leadership Denver program. I wanted to connect with a coach who could help me identify some new strategies at work, in light of some of the changes that had taken place in my life. While I initially approached our work together as purely a professional endeavor, Margie helped me uncover how my family and personal life intersected with my professional identity in meaningful ways. Through our work together, I was able to consider and integrate these factors into my professional role. I found Margie to be a highly engaged coach- not only during our scheduled sessions but also in responding to and assigning relevant ‘homework’ that kept our momentum going in between sessions. She posed awesome questions that challenged me in really critical ways and helped me identify pathways for my own growth. As a result of working with Margie, I feel more confident, intentional, and grounded in my role as both a leader and a manager.” - Braelin

“I met Margie in a leadership program, and later signed up for her leadership coaching program. I had never done anything like coaching before but joined the program with a fully open mind and open heart. Margie immediately made me feel comfortable…in my thoughts, in my values, and in my own skin. With her patience, her thought-provoking questions, and yes, her persistence, I was able to begin to see myself as the leader I want to become. For the first time, I could connect my strengths and my values to my work. I know my work with Margie will not only impact me, but the team I am fortunate to lead. I can’t recommend Margie enough. I have learned so much about myself. I have gained so much perspective about the way I show up in this world and the value I bring – even though I couldn’t see that clearly at the beginning of our journey. Thanks to Margie, I see myself differently now. There is no doubt that working with Margie will impact your life in a profound way; mine is deeply changed.” - Kelly

“Over the last two years, I have found working with Margie to be my go-to resource when I need professional development and coaching. Since we have worked together I have found my stride in my career and professional relationships. I relate much of this success to Margie’s capabilities of mirroring back to me what is good and healthy and also what doesn’t serve me. What I first found so rewarding about working with Margie is her ability to listen without judgment, and then asking the right questions that allowed me to go deep for self-discovery - which enables real change. I would highly recommend coaching with Margie to an individual who considers themselves ambitious and interested in bringing their best self to everything they do. Every successful person has a world of highly successful people behind them supporting them on their journey, adding coaching  with Margie to my world has brought my life and career to new heights.” - Liz
