Empowered
A women’s group coaching program of The Thirlby Company LLC
Oh hey there, friend. Over the past few years, you’ve been pretty brave. You’ve invested in your growth journey and become a bolder and more confident you. And that’s pretty badass.
But with your evolution came a bit of overwhelm. Maybe you’re trying on a new identity and grieving an old version of you. Or maybe you’re curious about what’s next for you in your life or career.
Since you’re showing up more authentically, your circle is a bit smaller. You wish you had more women in your corner who just GET IT and can support you with whatever you’re going through.
And let’s be honest - you may be facing new challenges or opportunities in your life that are hard to navigate. After all, you’re a human being and are not supposed to do this alone.
You know that deep down, you’re ready for your next level. Now is the time to dream big with other women who are in the arena with you. Let’s have some fun.
Welcome to Empowered
10 Sessions, 10 women, 1 Empowered Community
Empowered is a 3-month program designed by Coach Margie for kind and brave women who are ready to take their work and lives to the next level, while empowering other women to do the same.
The program is for women who desire to grow and learn in a nurturing and supportive group environment, while receiving 1-1 support from Margie outside of sessions.
The next round of Empowered will launch in February of 2024! Be sure to subscribe to our Empowered waiting list to be the first to receive information on registration.
Learning. Community. Coaching.
Empowered focuses on three things that will move the needle in your life and career (and make you an even happier you)…
LEARNING
Empowered includes 10 facilitated group sessions with Coach Margie that will provide you with incredible tools and resources to use during and after the program. Each session will include a combination of learning, group and partner discussion, and individual reflection. This ensures that you get something out of every session and that we keep things spicy.
COMMUNITY
Empowered is a once in a lifetime opportunity to go through an intimate group program designed specifically for kind and brave women who have already done coaching with Margie. You’ll become a part of the most nurturing and supportive circle and form lifelong friendships in the end. To make communication and connection easy, you’ll have access to a group hub (portal) where you can communicate with the Empowered cohort and cheer each other on.
COACHING
Empowered is the only opportunity to gain individual support from Margie outside of her private coaching programs. Outside of group sessions, you’ll be able to connect with Margie to ensure you receive the TLC that you need to be successful in achieving your goals.
About the Curriculum
Empowered curriculum is professionally designed using the 8 Pillars of Confidence, a signature Thirlby Co. learning tool that helps you build confidence. When each of the areas are practiced with intentionality, they can have a big impact on your overall growth and happiness.
What does the program include?
Empowered uses an all-inclusive and high-value program model so you never have to worry about money while you’re enjoying the program. Your tuition includes:

Okay, but I need the schedule.
The next round of Empowered will kick off in February 2024. The application process will open in early January, when we’ll also announce the session schedule.
Sessions for Empowered are 1.5-hours long. During the first hour of the session, we do most of the learning and activities. The final 30-minutes of the session is focused on group discussion an wrap up, where you can ask Margie for live coaching support and thought-partner with fellow participants.

Now give me the fine print.
Stay tuned for information on tuition pricing for Empowered in 2024.
Please note: Because Margie is a BIG fan of you and never wants cost to get in the way of you investing in yourself, she will be offering a special early bird enrollment rate for the next round. This will be 20 percent off standard pricing, and half the current cost of private coaching with Margie. Yessss.
Anything else I should know? (FAQs)
If you’ve gotten to this section, congratulations - we think it’s a sign that Empowered is meant for you, and that you need more fun in your life (just kidding). But seriously, here’s some final info that will hopefully seal the deal…
How many people will be in Empowered?
The Thirlby Co. only allows (up to) 10 participants in Empowered, which is rare for group coaching programs. This is because Margie strongly values providing an intimate and engaged learning environment, and tailoring the curriculum to the individual needs of the participants. Having a limited number of participants ensures that everyone can share and participate during calls, and that Margie can support each person outside of sessions.
What are the women like in Empowered?
Empowered is a program for women who are kind, authentic, brave, and value-driven. Coach Margie is proud to support a diverse group of clients of different ages, occupations, races, and sexual orientations. The average age of participants is around 40 years old, and women are from both the nonprofit and private sectors, and live in different time zones!
Can my dog or cat join the sessions?
Absolutely. Tuition is complimentary for your furry companions.
What is the homework like?
To ensure that we accommodate different learning styles and preferences, and (again) keep things spicy, there will be a variety of homework in between sessions. Examples might include completing a journal prompt, listening to a podcast episode, watching a video clip, reading an article, or completing a small challenge activity.
Can my work pay for the program?
Absolutely - and it’s strongly encouraged. Empowered is geared towards women who are willing to dare greatly in their lives and at work. The program is a strong fit for women in leadership. During Empowered, you’ll gain helpful tools and knowledge that you can apply to your life and the workplace.
If your employer is willing to pay for all or a portion of the cost, please let Margie know and we’ll iron out specific details for invoicing. Margie can also send you a program narrative that you can submit with your request (if requested).
What if I sign up for Empowered and then my plans change?
Empowered is a non-refundable program. This is because there is a limited amount of spots in the program with an application process. Should you experience an unexpected serious life event that requires you end your participation, The Thirlby Co. will consider applying your tuition balance toward a different (future) coaching opportunity with Margie (or your team at work, if your employer pays). But let’s hope that doesn’t happen!
What are the expectations of program participants?
When you register for Empowered, you’re making a commitment to Coach Margie, the other program participants, and most importantly - to yourself. Active engagement from all participants ensures that everyone has a positive experience and gets solid results.
When you submit your application to Empowered, you’ll review our program expectations one by one. But here are some of them that are important to note:
We encourage everyone to strive for100% participation for the group sessions to honor the investment you’ve made in yourself. However, we realize that personal emergencies may happen, or you may have previously scheduled plans before registering for the program. Therefore, we require 80% participation - meaning, attending at least 8 out of 10 group calls. We will be recording every call so that you can watch (or re-watch) later, if need be.
If you are someone who struggles with work vs life boundaries, it’s time for you to kick that identity to the curb. It’s important that you inform your supervisor and colleagues about your participation in Empowered and make it clear to those you work with that it is a priority. This will allow you to set a healthy boundaries when it comes to showing up on time for calls and letting others know that you are unable to schedule work calls or events during Empowered sessions.
Your communication and engagement outside of sessions is just important as that during sessions. This includes doing your homework and communicating with Margie and the other participants (when relevant). We kindly ask that you make your best effort to engage with consistency - and of course, we never expect perfection.
This program is a strong fit for women who desire to dare greatly and elevate each other. You’ll never need to share about something you’re not comfortable sharing about, but we encourage all participants to be vulnerable, be kind, have fun, and keep it real. This ensures that we provide a safe and positive learning environment while getting a lot done together.
What is the time commitment?
The time commitment may vary per person, depending on how much you engage with Margie and other participants outside of sessions. That being said, we estimate needing to budget about two hours per week for the program, including the weekly calls and homework.
I’m worried about the program tuition and/or timing. Are there any solutions?
