Signature Spark Sessions

The Confidence Advantage

Insecurity is one of the most overlooked barriers to performance, retention, and belonging. It shows up quietly in self-doubt or loudly in workplace conflict — and it silently erodes culture from within. In this interactive session, Margie introduces the 7 Habits of Confident Humans™ — a behavior-based framework that builds emotional intelligence, self-leadership, and healthier team dynamics.

Attendees will leave with:

  • A framework for spotting insecurity at work (The 4 Confidence Masks™)

  • A clear understanding of the 7 Habits of Confident Humans™

  • Practical tools to build and coach confidence

  • New language for feedback and performance conversations

Magnetic Leadership

Most people don’t leave bad jobs — they leave bad managers. Yet most managers are promoted without ever being taught how to lead. In this session, Margie introduces The Five Star Manager™ — a practical, behavior-based framework rooted in emotional intelligence and human-centered leadership. Participants explore what great managers actually do and walk away with tools they can apply immediately.

Attendees will leave with:

  • A self-assessment of their own leadership habits

  • Tools to build trust, coach in real time, and address performance with confidence

  • A clear vision of what great people leadership looks like
