Many companies fail to deliver on IT roll outs due to poor project management and lack of change management appreciation and planning. Millions poured into technology but if the critical engagement of the human resources is forgotten; all in vain. Not so, however, with the very successful roll out of a 25+ state wide home grown and foundation changing IT initiative we launched, during which I had the pleasure of meeting Margaret. She is a keen HRD expert who gets people, gets change management, gets project management, and most certainly gets teaching and leading learning. She was a wealth of resource as she partnered with this mega roll out.
Cari Desiderio

I engaged Margaret in a long term assignment to evaluate a complex learning program and provide a recommendation to enable a sustainable blended learning experience for my organization. Margaret brought many competencies and attributes to this project including her systems thinking, creativity and an ability to tap into people's strength. 
Deb Chaloux
AVP Learning and Performance Development at Unum 
Margaret was able to design a recommended program that would be inclusive yet focused on each my team's needs. She has the skills, finesse and emotional intelligence to be able to focus on the individual while keeping the team intact. Margaret used "Barrett Values Centre Cultural Transformation Model" to deliver this training and it was well received by all. Margaret is totally professional in her approach and in her business acumen, with follow through and commitment to quality. I can not speak highly enough of her skills, capabilities, her humanity and her integrity.

I just attended Margaret’s workshop on Breaking Out of the Box: Living Authentically & Purposefully. In just one hour, she was able to give participants a concise and engaging experience, where people got to meet each other, gain clarity on their sense of purpose, dig into their own values and loves, understand how they fit into a larger picture of self-actualization, and walk away with a real “ah-ha”. This was great. I highly recommend her as a leadership coach and facilitator.
Liz Trice
Partner, Maine Cooperative Development Partners
Margaret has done a spectacular job of researching and creating a web-based training for Maine DHHS. I had the privilege of voicing the material she wrote and I was impressed by the depth and detail of her approach. I would highly recommend Margaret for the development of any number of web based trainings. AND she's a true pleasure to work with!
