Empowering individuals, teams, leaders, and organisations to align strengths, values, and wellbeing through emotional intelligence at work for meaningful results. This approach fosters effective leadership development, promotes positive psychology, and enhances strengths-based leadership, ultimately contributing to workplace wellbeing.
Welcome! I’m Marg, the founding principal of Me My Strengths and I.
I help professionals and organisations perform at their best by strengthening mindset, wellbeing, and capacity that creates sustainable impact. My focus on workplace wellbeing is integral to fostering emotional intelligence at work.
Driven by curiosity and a deep desire to create positive change, I've spent over 30 years working in arts and cultural development, as an artist, community facilitator, arts manager, and leader in policy and strategy. This work has always been my passion.
My journey into leadership development sparked a new passion and a deep interest in positive psychology, leading me to study how we can all thrive. I blend positive psychology approaches with Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, and Time Line Therapy, to empower my clients to flourish through strengths-based leadership, whether at work, home, or in life’s adventures.
Outside the office, I enjoy singing and playing the mandolin on community radio, creating art, sewing quilts, and designing my garden and life using permaculture principles.
My work in Me My Strengths and I is supported by internationally recognised accreditation in coaching and training, which enhances my ability to promote emotional intelligence at work and leadership development. These include: Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing, Strengths Profile Practitioner Accreditation, Work on Wellbeing Practitioner, Certified Master Practitioner & Coach for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Master Practitioner Time Line Therapy, and Master Hypnosis Certification.
Remember to make time for play, as it is crucial for workplace wellbeing. Humor can be a powerful tool for navigating life’s serious moments—it helps ease tension, fosters connection with others, and boosts our overall life satisfaction. Laughter itself releases endorphins, enhancing our mood and supporting strengths-based leadership by raising our pain threshold. So, don’t forget to laugh a little!
There are several ways we can collaborate, whether you’re an individual eager to unlock your potential or an organization focused on nurturing and developing your greatest assets: your people and teams. My focus is on: coaching individuals who are new to leadership or ready to elevate their leadership skills through comprehensive leadership development; coaching individuals to explore their potential and set achievable goals using principles of positive psychology; coaching individuals and teams to identify and leverage their strengths in a strengths-based leadership approach; coaching individuals to enhance their wellbeing and emotional intelligence at work; working with teams to understand their core values; collaborating with organizations to improve their team dynamics; and partnering with organizations to increase workplace wellbeing and foster a supportive environment.
Learn to harness the power of your mind through emotional intelligence at work, gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your team to elevate your leadership development and boost productivity. I'm passionate about helping teams and leaders at all stages of their journey, whether you're just beginning or aiming to advance in your leadership career by embracing strengths-based leadership and positive psychology for enhanced workplace wellbeing.
This 6-month, one-on-one coaching program supports leaders aiming to elevate their leadership development or advance their careers into leadership positions. Marg walks alongside leaders as they explore:
A – Awareness
Shift: From unconscious reaction to conscious self-leadership.
Leaders gain a clear, evidence-based understanding of their strengths and skills, emotional intelligence at work, current wellbeing and nervous system capacity, and unpack the patterns that are currently driving them.
L – Leadership Identity
Shift: From accidental leadership to intentional leadership.
Leaders clarify how they are currently framing leadership, explore the kind of leader they aspire to be, elicit their unique leadership values, and develop their strengths-based leadership style.
I – Intentional Influence
Shift: From managing tasks to influencing people.
Leaders learn to regulate emotional responses, read the emotional climate in teams, adapt communication styles, and conduct courageous, generative conversations that foster positive psychology.
G – Growth in Energy & Capability
Shift: From depletion to sustainable performance.
Through work on wellbeing and nervous system awareness, leaders build sustainable work rhythms, reduce burnout risk for themselves and their teams, strengthen resilience under pressure, and learn recovery strategies.
N – Navigating Complexity
Shift: From firefighting to grounded strategic leadership.
Leaders apply everything to real team challenges and stakeholder pressure, leverage their strengths to develop their teams, and establish strong, strategic goals for the next 6 months.
WHAT IS A STRENGTH?
A strength is something we perform well at, is energising, and we do often. Utilizing our strengths regularly is crucial for maintaining focus on what matters to us, allowing us to show up as our best selves in both personal and professional settings, which is vital for workplace wellbeing.
At Me My Strengths and I, we utilize the Skills Discovery Tool (previously called Strengths Profile), considered to be the most robust and validated strengths tool today. This tool plays a significant role in leadership development, as it assesses 80 skills across the dimensions of energy, performance, and use, helping individuals enhance their emotional intelligence at work.
Research shows that using our strengths, aligned with principles of positive psychology, makes us happier, more confident, and better equipped to achieve our goals. We become motivated, engaged, and productive, fostering strengths-based leadership in our environments. We learn fast, increase performance, and do our best every day.
You will receive:
An Expert 80 Profile Report revealing a dynamic set of realised strengths, learned skills, weaknesses, and unrealised strengths;
A comprehensive debrief and coaching session with an accredited practitioner;
A follow-up email or phone call.
The WoW tool is grounded in research and science, developed by experts in positive psychology and wellbeing using validated measures. It stands as the most robust wellbeing assessment available today, particularly valuable for fostering emotional intelligence at work.
But why measure our wellbeing? We regularly track various aspects of our physical health, such as our steps, calories, waistlines, and cholesterol levels. Yet, measuring our psychological wellbeing hasn’t always been part of the conversation, which is essential for effective leadership development.
It’s time to change that.
I like to think of the WoW session as an annual tune-up for our wellbeing, much like a car service. It provides a chance to check in, reflect, and set clear intentions for our mental, physical, and emotional health.
Our wellbeing isn’t just important for ourselves—it directly impacts our productivity, our relationships with family, and our contributions to the community. By embracing strengths-based leadership, we can enhance workplace wellbeing and support a healthier environment for everyone.
Whether you're an individual seeking a wellbeing tune-up or an organization committed to investing in your team's mental health meaningfully, I’d love to partner with you.
