Managing, Inspiring, and Facilitating your Leadership Retreat
Ensuring that the talk isn't cheap. Rather, focused and deliberate towards the goals and objectives of the meeting.
When you value your culture to engage and reinforce the behaviors you want to see, you need an experienced facilitator who provides both facilitation and communication training within your event. That is me.

ROOT FOCUSED FACILITATION
I have been facilitating succession planning meetings, team off-sites, leadership summits, as well as team improvement for over the last twenty years.
The key to my success, and the success of my partners, has been the ability to relate to all members of the team, forge immediate trust and connection, and relate the goals of the team to your desired business outcomes.
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING
With an extensive training catalog, I offer turn-key or dynamically created targeted training to support you, your staff and your organization in a focused way that impacts the individual's growth for the business benefit.
​
Specializing in communications training, all solutions will support behavior change that will impact inclusivity, productivity, and engagement.
LEADERSHIP COACHING
Your communication style works, until it doesn't. It sneaks up on you just when you want to get the promotion to VP, SVP, or to the C-suite. Then what?
​
Navigating at that level requires up leveled communication skills that are rarely taught. Yet, with the feedback of "you need to improve your executive presence" - you may be wondering where to get that.

Right here.

OFFSITE FACILITATION
Creating a dynamic offsite, leadership conference, or summit requires a dynamic and creative facilitator. I have been providing this service internally to the largest of government contractors for over 15 years and for private companies for the last 5 years. Your symposium, seminar or conference will move from the standard, repetitive, experience that employees dread attending, to a dynamic, interesting, and creative experience that includes unique educational opportunities that flow within an arc of learning.
INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION TRAINING
Face-to-face communication is one of the most difficult things that we do. It includes seeing, hearing, feeling, and deciphering all the verbal and non-verbal cues involved in a one-on-one conversation. With a specialty in tools-based communication training, your participants and employees will walk away from activities-based training with actionable skills that improve conversations towards consistently constructive.

"Margot's ability to get to the heart of a matter is unsurpassed. Her direct and no-nonsense approach is refreshing. Her coaching and mentoring have allowed me to develop into an active listener and a better manager to staff, candidates and clients. Her connection with people is solid and lifelong, whether one-on-one or in a classroom setting. Her positive, anything is possible attitude makes the difference between her and others in her field." -- Brian S.
