Close the Courage Gap!
Close the Courage Gap!
Fear into fuel. Hesitation into action. Potential into impact.









TRUSTED BY:









Do you Ever...
- Avoid the conversations you know need to happen?
- Feel pulled toward something bigger — then talk yourself out of it?
- Stay stuck in indecision waiting for certainty that never comes?
- Sense there’s more in you – and your team – than is currently showing up?
Your biggest problems don’t stem from what you cannot do. They stem from not doing all that you can.
It’s why…
Developing courage – a learnable skill – is crucial to close the gap between insight and impact.
So Imagine Instead...
- Clarity on where you’re going — and why it’s worth the risk
- The confidence to have hard conversations before they become costly ones
- A team that backs bold ideas instead of playing it safe
- Leadership that closes the gap between potential and performance
Most people talk about why courage matters. Margie teaches the how — turning fear into a catalyst for braver decisions, stronger teams, and better outcomes.
“Margie is inspiring and bold! Her keynote dovetailed seamlessly with our conference theme!”
– Kristen O’Hara. Vice President, Client Solutions, Google
It takes courage to develop yourself and lead others. Here’s where to find it.
— Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO, Verizon
Meet Dr. Margie
Courage has been my curriculum since childhood in the Aussie bush. My journey has taken me far: from advising Fortune 500 leaders making high-stakes decisions to raising four kids across multiple global moves. And again and again, in C-suites and in myself, I’ve seen that it’s rarely a lack of ability that holds us back from taking the actions that would better our future. It’s a lack of courage.
That gap between what people are capable of and what fear lets them do? That’s where I work.
Whether on stage or at an exec team off-site, I help people close it — turning hesitation into mission-driven action and elevating good leaders into great ones others will follow into hard things.
The good news: courage isn’t a personality trait, it’s a learnable skill. And building it — in yourself and across your organization — might be the highest-leverage investment you can make.
