A Few Testimonials
My work with Margo Boster has transformed my leadership and management styles, and made me comfortable in leading my organization toward the ambitious goals of redefining higher ed. Most notably, she has worked with me to recognize my own strengths and those of my staff, and how our complementarities can be leveraged to build a strong team and a supportive work environment.

Margo’s coaching differs from most university HR programming in that she works almost exclusively with executives, and her advice springs from broad experience in the business community. Much of our work together has focused in the “softer” skills of finding my motivations as a leader and building strong team around the institution’s vision and goals. We have used specialized tools and resources, ranging from live 360 interviews and research-based assessments, to transform my nascent skills as an organizer and research leader into the far more nuanced role of university executive.” [Vice President Research, Public University]

Without reservation I recommend Margo for both leadership team and individual leadership coaching. When my firm engaged Margo for both team and individual coaching, I was skeptical overall but in particular how it could help me. I’ve been in my industry, Federal government contracting, for thirty years and have been reasonably successful. So, what difference could she make? Well, it turns out a lot. Using a variety of approaches that included listening, asking probing questions, assigning homework, and did I mention listening and asking thoughtful questions, she was able to spur my thinking around leveraging my strengths and more importantly, consciously dealing with my weaknesses. I believe her coaching has equipped me to be a better leader. I wholeheartedly endorse Margo.” [Chief Growth Officer & Chief Operating Officer, Management Consulting]

Margo is a natural coach, even in non-coaching and consulting roles. She is very skilled at zeroing in on areas of opportunity that have helped me to excel and to improve my personal effectiveness. Margo has a great deal of experience and a helpful toolkit to support personal and professional growth. Margo engages with clients not simply as her job, but something she is truly passionate about. Margo is an outstanding coach and consultant. I’m amazed at the growth I’ve achieved while working with her and I whole-heartedly recommend her services.” [Senior Management, Federal Government]
