Cultivating creative courage at the heart of business

I design growth experiences, enable innovation,  facilitate change, and co-create the narratives that make the future real.

I support innovation teams, CEOs, and emerging leaders to address their challenges with:

EVOLVING AN INNOVATION CULTURE
LEADERSHIP & TEAM DEVELOPMENT
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT & SUPPORT
COMMUNICATING FOR CONTEXT, CLARITY AND ALIGNMENT​WORKSHOP DESIGN & FACILITATION
IDEA GENERATION & PROTOTYPING
METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT
CONFLICT & EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
PROGRAM DESIGN & STRATEGY

Hi, I'm Margaret. I'm a strategist, facilitator, designer, writer, coach, and culture lover. As a Silicon Valley native and third-culture kid, I learned to think in systems, strategies, and surprises, to create in metaphor, experiences, and technology, and to relate with empathy and curiosity.
 
 
Underpinned by skills and instinct, and fueled by collaboration and innovation (aka applied creativity), I am as analytical as I am creative; as big picture as detail-oriented; and as driven by results as much as I welcome pivots. I am as much a maker as I am a champion; as comfortable with technology as with people; and as skilled in facilitation as in ideation.

As a mentor, alchemist and creative catalyst, I work from principles built on design thinking+, archetypes, and sustainability.

In my spare time you might find me hosting guests in our Second Empire Victorian in Salem, MA, exploring this amazing world, drawing mind maps of the latest book on my nightstand, and/or on my mat. (Oh, or reorganizing some corner of my life that has succumbed to entropy.)
