Speaking

I frequently give presentations to women's affinity groups and to large and small groups of attorneys. 

Topics include:
  • Developing a winning communication style
  • Marketing yourself from "Day One"
  • Improving self-confidence
  • Maximizing the advantages of being a woman in the professional world
  • Dealing with bad habits
  • Knowing what a client is looking for in a professional engagement
  • Giving and receiving feedback

Please contact me for information.

See excerpts below from my talk about communication and marketing skills:
“Margaret recently spoke to our firm about confidence.  The feedback was great! Her presentation was thoughtful, engaging and extremely beneficial, especially for our young lawyers. We look forward to her next timely topic.”
Jim Reeder, Jones Day

"Margaret’s relationship with our firm goes back many years. Her presentations to the firm, as well as her one-on-one coaching, reflect a depth of understanding of our people and our culture that is wholly consistent with our focus on giving our lawyers the tools and resources to be great."
Scott Wulfe, Vinson & Elkins LLP

"Having known Margaret as a friend and professional colleague, it came as no surprise to watch her excel in her new role as well: career counselor and speaker. I was part of an audience of more than 35 women lawyers from across the age and practice spectrum, and she captivated us all with great ideas on marketing oneself, as well as building and maintaining competence and confidence, starting on Day One. Important, useful lessons, articulately and entertainingly delivered." 
The late Judith S. Kaye, Skadden Arps

"What a memorable event! Margaret exudes confidence and gave a high energy presentation that engaged the whole room. She offered us a lot to think about. I have already put some of her thoughts and strategies to work."
Lisa Wood, Foley Hoag

"Margaret was excellent. I talked with a few others afterward.  Everyone agreed that she gave a very useful presentation. Thanks for having her speak to us."
Thomas K. Schroeter, K&L Gates

"Thank you, Margaret. Your talk was terrific. Everyone I have spoken with about it agrees and is now motivated to take a good look at how they present themselves. It has already made me think about several things I need to work on, and that's before I start grilling folks for feedback!"
