Montclair, VA – Starfish Consulting is dedicated to making an impact, one person, one team, one organization at a time.

Margie Hamner is a leadership coach, instructor and the founder of Starfish Consulting, where she creates unique learning experiences that build confidence, competence and connections.

After 25 years in human resources helping people to be their best selves at work, today Margie works with current leaders and high-potential emerging leaders.

“Most people are promoted because they were the smartest, most productive and the best at what they do. That doesn't mean they are going to be a good supervisor,” says Margie.

Of course, arising to be a woman leader has its own set of challenges. Women might lack confidence or feel they don't have a voice. Margie helps them step into leadership role and overcome these challenges.

Starfish Consulting also hosts women empowering women groups. This unique interactive experience combines both coaching and training to assist women leaders in finding their power and influence. The program focuses on building and sustaining confidence, creating a personal and professional vision, learning and practicing coaching skills, and maintaining work/life balance and self-care.

“They don't just hear me as the coach,” says Margie. “They hear from the other women participants who are saying, ‘I have that problem, too.’ The support of the women is so powerful. I've designed the program where everybody has to share during each virtual session and I teach them to coach each other. Ultimately that's what a manager should do.”
