MARGUERITE’S STORY

My experience managing my family’s 70-employee manufacturing business was painful. After we sold the business, in order to allow my parents to retire financially secure, I spent time during my MBA at Harvard Business School in deep introspection about how we work. I said to myself:

“There must be better way. And I am going to find it.”

Since then, I have dedicated my life to changing the way we live and work so that we do so with joy.

Having successfully led many businesses and working with hundreds of leaders and their teams, I realize it only takes one person to make the change. When people are tuned into their true selves, they act from a place of presence, grace, joy and authenticity, enriching the lives of others.

I have experienced and understand the heartrending frustrations that bring my clients to me:

“I have achieved my career goals, but I don’t feel fulfilled”

“I’m starting a new role and this time, I want to experience success that is meaningful to me, not as defined by others”

“I’ve climbed the ladder of success, but am thinking it’s the wrong ladder”

“My team is stressed and overwhelmed. There’s no joy in our workplace”

EXPERIENCE IN THE TRENCHES

Marguerite has been leading teams from the age of 23, when she managed her family’s business consisting of a team of 70 woodworkers – all men, older than her and resistant to the idea of a young woman being their boss. But she did it and learned a lot!

DEDICATION TO LEARNING – AND SHARING

Marguerite earned her MBA at Harvard Business School. Since then, she has studied and honed skills in group process facilitation, strategy, transformational coaching and mindfulness meditation. Marguerite believes in being generous with whatever she learns, sharing regularly through her blog, social media posts and client-specific content curation.

MULTI-INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Marguerite has brought joy and added value to organizations in the private, public, nongovernmental and educational sectors, including Cable and Wireless, TUI Marine, National Commercial Bank, City of Hamilton, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the World Bank, Inter American Development Bank (IDB), Caribbean Development Bank, the Government of the Netherlands, and the Government of Jamaica.
