Master Certified Coach in Communication, Margot Halstead
After a lifetime of transforming her own interpersonal communication skills while helping her corporate colleagues to do the same, as well as saving their careers along the way, Margot Halstead has taken to the page for her debut book, Owning Your It, artfully illustrated by Dug.
Within its 333 pages, Halstead distills the experiences she’s gained through working in large law firms and corporate settings into actionable tools professionals can use to ensure that their interpersonal behaviors won’t harm their careers in some way or another. Split into five sections, Halstead directs the reader to identify their potential ‘IT’ (the pesky behavior that keeps popping up and causing problems), label the behavior, gain control over it, and subsequently, owning your ‘IT’ in order to better your professional life. With no shortage of tough love, readers learn to wrangle their communication complications through this thorough and straightforward book.
Margot has long had a passion for understanding interpersonal communications that has guided all her professional decisions. As a facilitator, she has helped high performing, developing, and struggling teams improve their communication and restore their business effectiveness. She is a Master Certified Coach (MCC) coach specializing in the communication aspects of leadership, and she works with companies to help them determine the health of their culture.
