MARGIE IGNITES BOLD ACTION
Thirty years of living around the world has taught me that closing the gap between where we are and where we want to be requires courage. Likewise, you can trace back most problems to its absence– to the uncomfortable conversations that did not occur, and intelligent risks not taken.
Operating from a ‘courage mindset’ has never been more needed or rewarded. Having taken the path of ‘courage over comfort’ many times, I’d love to embolden your audience to take the brave action needed for a better future.

YOU CAN’T LEAD FROM YOUR COMFORT ZONE
No organization can outperform its leaders over time. It’s why the #1 threat is never external but the fear that drives smart employees to play it too safe. Leaders who invite candor and encourage innovation without demonstrating vulnerability, normalizing dissent, and derisking ‘smart failure’ will fall short every time.
