The Courage Gap

Growing up in rural Australia, Margie learned that ‘Growth and comfort can’t ride the same horse.’ It turns out there’s hard science behind closing the ‘courage gap’ between who we are and who we can be. Margie’s remarkable story of breaking ranks with comfort will help your audience reset their understanding with risk and empower them with practical skills to bring their bravest selves to their boldest vision. Learning objectives and audience outcomes: Why courage is a skill, not a born trait, and how it can be mastered. Build self-awareness of where your play-it-safe instinct is keeping you small, stuck, and scared. Learn to rescript what scares you. How to embody courage, transforming your relationship with discomfort. Identify fear traps and dismantle ‘courage crushers’. Adopt a play-to-win mindset to risk more intelligently for faster success. Embed atomic ‘courage habits’ to tame your inner Chicken Little. Everyone needs courage, making this a ‘must-hear’ message for all audiences.

Lead with Courage

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. Margie will embolden your leaders to lead from the inside out, building a ‘culture of courage’ that unlocks collective creativity and discretionary effort across your enterprise. Learning objectives and audience outcomes: Research into a ‘courage mindset’ and why it’s a force multiplier of talent. Harness ’emotional contagion’ to galvanize employees behind a bold vision with a big “Why”. What we get wrong about risk that makes us more vulnerable. Three ways to foster loyal dissent and harness constructive conflict. How to lead from self-certainty to make more effective decisions amid the unknowns. Identify the invisible ‘timidity tax’ of excess caution in your team/business. Accelerate learning and incubate innovation by scaling a play-to-win mindset. This program is ideal for leaders at all levels, from emerging to those at the top.

Falling Upward

No one is immune to life’s hardships and heartaches, yet some people handle them better and emerge better off. This powerful keynote blends research in psychology, well-being, and spiritual traditions to reframe how you view and process your biggest problems, expanding your bandwidth to handle them better and transform them into catalysts for growth. Weaving personal stories – including losing a brother to mental illness and supporting another to adjust to life with paraplegia – Margie brings evidence backed strategies to expand your audiences capacity for life, find the opportunities for growth, and grow into the highest that our toughest challenges always hold. This program will teach you how to: Mine the lessons failure holds to improve the future. Short-circuit stressful thinking, turning the psychology of fear into the physiology of courage. Four pillars to activate post-traumatic growth and can-do optimism. Lead from ‘self-certainty’ to thrive through change. Build micro-habits to turn stressors into cues for courage. Rescript the stories to get unstuck and bounce forward stronger. This program is for broad audiences, from faith groups to business groups.

Brave Women Rising

When women are empowered to bring the full quota of their feminine leadership strengths to the table, it improves the decisions being made. Yet, despite progress, the gender gap persists. Drawing on her doctoral research in women’s leadership and decades of experience empowering women from diverse backgrounds, Margie weaves relatable and entertaining personal stories as a ball-dropping working mother raising four children amid multiple global relocations. This session provides actionable strategies to help women get off their own backs and make the difference their difference makes.
