Client Testimonials
Margaret facilitated a two day virtual strategic planning session for us and it’s the first time I’ve come away from this type of session feeling energized and excited as opposed to overwhelmed! She did a fantastic job working with the key contacts ahead of the sessions to learn more about the organization, gather information, and get a full understanding of our needs and goals. She then used this knowledge to lead our board through two intensive days of planning. Margaret asked thought provoking questions, allowed for multiple ways to interact, and helped get our minds centered each day for the work ahead. I hope to have an opportunity to work with Margaret again in the future!

I enjoyed working with Margaret. She builds rapport quickly and is very insightful. She gave me real insights into how I work, what my processes are, and that this is ok. These insights also gave me more confidence in myself as a stretch into a whole new life. Working with Margaret helped me to see the importance of rapport. I felt a sense of trust that enabled me to share my challenges. Margaret is a wonderful coach. She walks with you on your journey and knows when to ask those questions that help you reflect on your way of being.

Margaret was exactly the coaching I needed for the time we worked together. She helped me create needed boundaries and work through some pain points. I appreciated that we were similar in age because she had been through some of the life experiences I talked about. I felt validated and as though she genuinely wanted the best for me from the experience.

When kicking off our new non-profit, Margaret was instrumental in helping us get organized and focused on our mission. Our sessions with her proved to be invaluable as we developed a plan for the future of the organization and created a structure moving forward.

As a mid-career professional with a lot of projects in the air, it is hard to prioritize my personal and professional career goals. There is a lot of competition for my time, and sometimes the big picture gets lost. I am so appreciative of the work Margaret and I did together to support my career and life goals. From the first day retreat and throughout the year, her thoughtful queries, holistic approach, and careful analysis of my needs was incredible. Having a supportive life and career coach at my side that focused on creating the structure I needed to stay on task and succeed was life changing. I highly recommend Firebird consulting if you are looking to make significant advances in your personal life or career, or just need someone to nudge you now and then while you are on your personal journey through life!
