Leadership Training
Your organization wants your people to work better together—and lead with more confidence, clarity, and care.
You want your employees and leaders to feel empowered, communicate more effectively, and manage their teams independently—so your company can be more impactful, more collaborative, and more profitable.
But without the right training, even your best people plateau. Confidence fades. Miscommunication builds. And teams underperform.
Most employees don’t leave bad jobs.
They leave unclear expectations.
They leave managers who weren’t trained.
They leave teams where they never felt seen.
Your people want to grow, but they’re stuck in reactive mode, unsure how to lead, communicate, or collaborate with impact.
Everyone deserves to feel confident and capable in their work - and every team deserves a culture built on trust, belonging, and emotionally intelligent leadership.
At Thirlby Co., we believe leadership is a privilege - not just a promotion.
We help people at every level build the confidence, emotional intelligence, and communication skills they need to thrive at work and elevate those around them.
Whether they’re leading teams or an individual contributor, we equip your employees to show up with clarity, courage, and emotional impact.
We offer three transformative trainings that help your people grow from the inside out:
The Five Star Manager: Become the Leader Everyone Wants to Work For
Teaches five essential human-centered leadership skills: emotional intelligence, coaching, belonging, accountability, and celebration.
The EQ Edge: Using Emotional Intelligence to Unlock Performance and Connection
A research-backed training that helps people better manage emotions, build trust, and lead from any seat in the org.
The Belonging Blueprint: A Strategic Framework for Building Connected and Innovative Teams
Empowers individuals and teams to cultivate inclusion, psychological safety, and trust in everyday interactions.

When your people learn how to lead with confidence, communicate with clarity, and build trust:
✅ Retention improves
✅ Performance rises
✅ Engagement deepens
✅ Culture strengthens - from the inside out
You don’t just get better leaders. You get better humans building better workplaces.
When you delay training your people, you don’t save money - you lose momentum.
Without the tools to lead and connect, even your top performers struggle to stay engaged.
And the culture you thought you had? It quietly erodes.
Thirlby Co. trains confident, emotionally intelligent leaders who build healthy, high-performing teams - at every level of your organization.

Client Testimonials

"Few leadership seminars are as engaging and thoughtfully structured as the one Margie presented to my department on Psychological Safety. She brought a safe space, where folks felt comfortable enough to open up and share experiences and ideas, where we left with a far deeper understanding and respect for one another, and the work we have ahead of us. Her passionate approach to sharing sensitive topics was authentic, relatable, and courageous. For anyone considering hiring Margie, she is a true changemaker and an inspiration."

“I hired Margie to conduct our credit union's first post-pandemic in-person training for our entire management team, focusing on effective workplace communication. Having worked with dozens of consultants and trainers, I was highly impressed by the level of intentionality, professionalism, and care that Margie engaged with from start to finish. Margie is an infectious communicator and the content she shared landed incredibly well with our team. It was both practical and transferable.”

"We had the privilege of hosting “The Seven Domains of Thriving Leaders" training for our Colorado Leader’s Circle cohort, a group of nonprofit executive leaders from around the state. Through Margie’s insightful guidance and holistic framework, participants gained clarity and practical strategies to address these challenges. By the end of the session, the transformation was palpable. Participants walked away with a renewed sense of purpose, tools for navigating complexity, and actionable steps to foster resilience and thriving within their organizations."

"Working with Margie for her communication training was equally a learning experience for me as it was enjoyable. The session resulted in fun employee-based scenarios that ultimately established a greater sense of empathy throughout our organization. Margie acutely understands what is needed to deliver a high-quality experience that is both engaging and informative. If you're looking to level up in any aspect of your organization, I highly recommend reaching out to Margie. She will elevate your business and its potential."
