About Me

Have you ever seen someone else’s life on social media and thought, "Wow, this person is truly living my dream life! What am I doing with my life?”

Are you considering a career pivot? Maybe you want to transition to non-profit or social impact work, but don’t know where to start. Or you’ve applied to jobs but have struggled to convince potential employers that you have the “experience” required for a role in the social impact sector?

If so, scroll down to the bottom of the page to see more details about my Program: Transition to the Non-Profit Sector Demystified.

Do you feel stuck with a specific goal you’ve been working toward? It’s important to you, but you haven’t made as much progress as you had hoped because life got in the way. Maybe you’ve dreamt of getting into the best shape of your life, but never achieved that target weight. At first, you were excited about losing weight and even made it past the first few weeks, but then lost the momentum and motivation before the end of the month. Every year, your New Year’s resolution is to get into the best shape of your life, and while the desire is there, achieving this goal never comes to fruition.

Hi there, I'm Margaret, I’m a Certified Career Transition and Habit Coach, I help clients navigate transitional and challenging situations using behavioral science, habit formation, career transition, health and wellness, and life design tools and techniques to support them in achieving their most important career and fitness goals. I work collaboratively with clients using my 4-step Goals Progress Journey plan, co-creating bespoke action plans, and providing supportive and accountable coaching sessions. Why are behavioral science and specifically, habit techniques such an integral part of my coaching strategy? Because most of us have habits and predictable ways of doing things, even if we don’t realize we do. Once we understand these patterns, we can use them to our advantage to create new habits that will help us achieve our goals.

There are no silver bullets, but I know true change is possible through commitment and dedication. Like most things, if you put in the work, you will see results.

Don’t you owe it to yourself to live your best possible life? After all, we only get one shot at this thing called life. We might as well live our dream life!
