Megan in her own words:
"I am deeply passionate about helping people perform optimally, and part of that is teaching them how to get out of their own way. It is my belief that people grow towards the light, and I assist organizations in allowing the light to shine through to their people so that both the people and the organizations can grow. Using insight, vision and compassion, I combine my personal experience as a world-class competitor with my academic knowledge and professional experience to help achieve the results desired by the client. Performance is relative across arenas, and the principles of performance excellence are transferable from organization to organization. The first step to optimal performance is aligning the right people with the right jobs, and then coaching that talent is the next necessary step to enabling people to 'grow towards the light.' I am passionate about developing the abilities of leaders and managers to achieve their missions and visions by bringing out the best in their people."
