About the author
Find Your Courage, Stop Playing Safe, Brave.
The titles of Margie's three previous bestselling books reflect her passion for helping people make braver decisions and lead bigger lives.
Margie's had to find her courage many times since growing up as the big sister of seven on a dairy farm in rural Australia. Personal struggles, family tragedies, an armed robbery, having four children in five years: all have taught her valuable lessons about embracing change, building resilience and the power of purpose.
Today Margie draws on her background in Fortune 500 business, coaching and psychology to equip people with the mindset and strategies needed to achieve stronger outcomes for themselves and others. Her clients include NASA, Accenture, Johnson & Johnson, Facebook, Mars, Australian Federal Police, Microsoft, Oracle, and the United Nations Foundation.
Host of RawCourage.TV, Margie's insights have also been shaped by her work and interviews with leaders and luminaries such as Sir Richard Branson, Bill Marriott and Marianne Williamson. Margie has also co-authored two other books with world leadership experts Stephen Covey, Jack Canfield, Ken Blanchard and John Gray.
An acclaimed keynote speaker and guest lecturer at Columbia and Georgetown universities, Margie is a sought-after commentator with leading media including The Wall Street Journal, Fox News, the Today show, Al Jazeera, Women's Health and Inc.

Margie is also an ambassador for Beyond Blue, and is committed to helping remove the stigma around mental illness and reducing the suffering of all those affected by it.

She's crossed the Sahara desert, stayed in Palestinian refugee camps, swum with piranhas in the Amazon, cycled the streets of Beijing, hiked the Inca trail, coached women in Africa's infamous Kibera slum and spent three years living in Papua New Guinea.
