Testimonials

I want to thank you for your generosity in time, your care for your clients, and the version of myself you brought out of me during our coaching engagement. I wish I could truly encapsulate what you have done for me personally, but I don\'t think I would be able to do it justice, so I will simply say thank you.

I have taken the time to reflect on our last exercise and how I would take care of myself while deployed, and I feel as if I am in a better place. I have given myself the grace to learn, absorb new information (reading, podcasts), and work on my physical health, making it a priority again. I have also pushed myself to be deliberate and intentional in the new engagements here and keep an open mind and heart to what I can learn and adapt to.

I owe a lot of this effort to you challenging me to consider myself and care for myself, fully. Thank you again for what you have done. I have truly enjoyed our collaboration.

Without reservation I recommend Margo for both leadership team and individual leadership coaching. When my firm engaged Margo for both team and individual coaching I was skeptical overall but in particular how it could help me. I\'ve been in my industry, Federal government contracting, for thirty years and have been reasonably successful. So, what difference could she make? Well, it turns out a lot. Using a variety of approaches that included listening, asking probing questions, assigning homework, and did I mention listening and asking thoughtful questions, she was able to spur my thinking around leveraging my strengths and, more importantly, consciously dealing with my weaknesses. I believe her coaching has equipped me to be a better leader. I wholeheartedly endorse Margo

I had the pleasure to work with Margo as my Executive Leadership Coach for 6 months in 2019. She is an active listener, non judgmental, honest, and highly trustworthy. Margo is ethical, understanding, and direct/clear when appropriate. She offered several materials, books, evaluations, and other artifacts to help me understand I where I originally stood, where I want to be, and then how to get there. I grew in significant ways over the 6 months working with Margo. It was also very easy to work over long distance using Zoom video conferencing. Margo is an excellent coach and I recommend her with no reservations.

I worked with Margo for a series of executive management coaching sessions. I work in IT and Margo understands the industry so she was able to provide helpful insights. She took the time to get to know me and provided valuable feedback. I appreciate the fact that she understood that everyone is different and worked with you to make sure you understood how your natural tendencies could work for or against you depending on how you approach a situation. She helped me focus on areas that I wanted to develop and recommended some great TED talks. She is a good listener and helped walk me through some difficult times. I would highly recommend Margo’s services.

My work with Margo Boster, a professional coach based in Scottsdale, Arizona, with ImpaQ Solutions, has transformed my leadership and management styles, and made me comfortable in leading my organization toward the ambitious goals of redefining higher ed. Most notably, she has worked with me to recognize my own strengths and those of my staff, and how our complementarities can be leveraged to build a strong team and a supportive work environment.

Margo’s coaching differs from most university HR programming in that she works almost exclusively with executives and her advice springs from broad experience in the business community. Much of our work together has focused in the “softer” skills of finding my motivations as a leader, and building strong team around the institution’s vision and goals. Margo’s broad experience with industry and federal agencies has provided insights to leadership and management that are not standard fare in university trainings. We have used specialized tools and resources, ranging from live 360 interviews and research-based assessments, to transform my nascent skills as an organizer and research leader into the far more nuanced role of university executive.

I credit Margo with much of my recent success here as Vice President of Research.

I really enjoyed being able to work with Margo as my leadership coach. It was great to be able to spend some time learning about my tendencies and habits. I have only ever done this sort of work in groups settings before so being able to focus on myself was a treat. Thank you.

Margo did a stellar job facilitating my CEO peer networking group. In addition to possessing the finesse required to keep a group of hard-charging CEOs on point, she provided extremely useful insights from her personal experiences as a leader. I continue to reach out to Margo as a personal mentor.

I am pleased with the results from my work with Margo. During the coaching process I was able to better define my business goals and work through areas of opportunity. Margo helped open my eyes to what was holding me back and helped me develop strategies to move forward. I highly recommend her for her knowledge and insight in helping business leaders attain their goals.

It was fantastic to work with Margo, who is an exceptional coach. I completed the ImpaQ Solutions Leadership Development series developed and facilitated by Margo. Above all, I was impressed with Margo's ability to deal with even the toughest of clients. Her hands-on approach to leadership coaching and consulting won her the respect of our leadership team. Margo is motivated, forward-thinking, intelligent, and methodical. She is certainly a pro at what she does!

Time and time again, Margo simplifies seemingly complex business challenges. I highly value and recommend her support.

I engaged ImpaQ Solutions to work with members of our leadership team to provide an independent voice to help develop their capabilities. They (Margo) worked closely with the individuals to assess strengths, to provide insight as to potential gaps and blind spots, and then worked with them over time to close those gaps. Using ImpaQ Solutions greatly accelerated the growth of those individuals, and helped to unleash their latent talents to our benefit. I strongly would recommend Margo and ImpaQ Solutions for any future needs.

I've had the pleasure of working with Margo intermittently for the last 2+ years. Most recently, Margo successfully led DRT's effort to roll out a competency-based talent acquisition and management program. She exudes energy, has deep and broad knowledge of the subject matter and has a drive to reach the finish line, regardless of the challenges. Her knowledge of Talent Assessment, Lominger Leadership Architect, and competency-based Recruiting, Employee Development, and Leadership Development is quite impressive.

Margo is a natural coach, even in non-coaching and consulting roles. She is very skilled at zeroing in on areas of opportunity that have helped me to excel and to improve my personal effectiveness. Margo has a great deal of experience and a helpful toolkit to support personal and professional growth. Margo engages with clients not simply as her job, but something she is truly passionate about. Margo is an outstanding coach and consultant. I\'m amazed at the growth I\'ve achieved while working with her and I whole-heartedly recommend her services.

I truly appreciate your help this year - albeit not a lot of time, its impact was immense! Your coaching really helped me to make a much-needed change and get some time to re-balance things. Reflecting on it, I really don't know where I'd be without your help (may sound hokey, but true...). Thank you!

I highly recommend Margo if you are looking for a professional with strong leadership skills. Margo has demonstrated time and time again her ability to bring diverse groups together and work with individuals who seek coaching in this area. Additionally, Margo has very acute skills to assist both individuals and organizations in achieving goals they felt were beyond their reach. Her intuition guides her in accurately assessing opportunities and assisting those who are looking for the same.

Margo was brought in to facilitate a Management go-away where we were trying to identify how we could align our deliverables with the Center’s Strategic Priorities. Margo quickly got our management team focused on defining where we were and how we got to this point. With Margo’s ardent leadership knowledge, skills and insight, we then were able to turn our attention to identifying where we needed to be in the next 6 months, 12 months and 3 years. Through Margo’s guidance, we quickly identified various factors that were preventing us from moving forward along with identifying ways to enhance or current processes and/or procedures. Once we had this knowledge Margo worked with us using several techniques on defining and putting together a road map for success.
