About Margo
Margo Boster, an executive and leadership coach and yogi, integrates the science of the brain, body, and breath to help leaders positively impact their lives and the organizations they lead by being Mindfully Successful.
Margo’s lifetime quest has been for knowledge and finding ways to use that knowledge to improve her life and the lives of those she may influence. She has extensively studied psychology, anatomy, philosophy, neuropsychology, the nervous system, adult development, and leadership coaching. When embraced holistically, these disciplines offer different views of one’s self. By incorporating all the senses and multiple domains, you can learn to be more conscious and become a mindfully successful leader.
She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland after her son and daughter completed their college education. Margo pursued additional training to enhance her skills in leadership coaching, completing the premier program at Georgetown University and the Foundations of Neuroleadership through the NeuroLeadership Institute in New York. She also underwent in-depth training in adult development theory from Chris Whal, Susanne Cook-Greuter, and the Vertical Development Academy. Furthermore, Margo is a certified yoga teacher with over 300 hours of training in anatomy and philosophy.
Fun Fact #1: To keep her young, each year for her birthday, she does something she’s never done before, typically something that frightens her just a bit. Since beginning this tradition in her early 30s, experiences have ranged from parasailing, camping under the stars, skydiving, swimming with dolphins, riding a motorcycle from Arizona to Alaska, and getting a tatoo! What will she do next?
Fun Fact #2: Margo and her husband, Mark, have ridden a Harley Davidson motorcycle in all 50 of the United States and parts of Canada.
Leadership is not theoretical to Margo, having years of experience being responsible for customer delivery, profit and loss, and founding and running two businesses. She has over 25 years of experience working in senior leadership positions in information technology (IT) and health IT for various organizations, including US federal, state, and local governments, and private sector companies of all sizes. She owned a change-management consulting company in the 1990s before establishing her coaching practice in 2010.
Margo maintains her own executive and leadership coaching practice in addition to being an adjunct faculty at Georgetown University's Coaching Program and a guest lecturer at Arizona State University's Graduate program for Environmental Leadership and Communication. She has achieved the highest level of coach credential, the Master Certified Coach (MCC), from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and serves as an ICF Mentor Coach and Assessor, supporting other coaches in enhancing their coaching skills.
Margo and her husband, Mark, reside in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he takes pleasure in living in the midst of the saguaro cacti. They divide their time between Arizona and the East Coast, specifically North Carolina, the DC area, and New York, where their grandchildren live.
