Without reservation I recommend Margo for both leadership team and individual leadership coaching. When my firm engaged Margo for both team and individual coaching I was skeptical overall but in particular how it could help me. I've been in my industry, Federal government contracting, for thirty years and have been reasonably successful. So, what difference could she make? Well, it turns out a lot. Using a variety of approaches that included listening, asking probing questions, assigning homework, and did I mention listening and asking thoughtful questions, she was able to spur my thinking around leveraging my strengths and, more importantly, consciously dealing with my weaknesses. I believe her coaching has equipped me to be a better leader. I wholeheartedly endorse Margo

I had the pleasure to work with Margo as my Executive Leadership Coach for 6 months in 2019. She is an active listener, non judgmental, honest, and highly trustworthy. Margo is ethical, understanding, and direct/clear when appropriate. She offered several materials, books, evaluations, and other artifacts to help me understand I where I originally stood, where I want to be, and then how to get there. I grew in significant ways over the 6 months working with Margo. It was also very easy to work over long distance using Zoom video conferencing. Margo is an excellent coach and I recommend her with no reservations.

I worked with Margo for a series of executive management coaching sessions. I work in IT and Margo understands the industry so she was able to provide helpful insights. She took the time to get to know me and provided valuable feedback. I appreciate the fact that she understood that everyone is different and worked with you to make sure you understood how your natural tendencies could work for or against you depending on how you approach a situation. She helped me focus on areas that I wanted to develop and recommended some great TED talks. She is a good listener and helped walk me through some difficult times. I would highly recommend Margo’s services.

My work with Margo Boster, a professional coach based in Scottsdale, Arizona, with ImpaQ Solutions, has transformed my leadership and management styles, and made me comfortable in leading my organization toward the ambitious goals of redefining higher ed. Most notably, she has worked with me to recognize my own strengths and those of my staff, and how our complementarities can be leveraged to build a strong team and a supportive work environment.

Margo’s coaching differs from most university HR programming in that she works almost exclusively with executives and her advice springs from broad experience in the business community. Much of our work together has focused in the “softer” skills of finding my motivations as a leader, and building strong team around the institution’s vision and goals. Margo’s broad experience with industry and federal agencies has provided insights to leadership and management that are not standard fare in university trainings. We have used specialized tools and resources, ranging from live 360 interviews and research-based assessments, to transform my nascent skills as an organizer and research leader into the far more nuanced role of university executive.

I credit Margo with much of my recent success here as Vice President of Research.

I really enjoyed being able to work with Margo as my leadership coach. It was great to be able to spend some time learning about my tendencies and habits. I have only ever done this sort of work in groups settings before so being able to focus on myself was a treat. Thank you.
