Close Up Radio Spotlights Bonnie Gisriel-Magerer of BPowered Coaching

Orlando, FL – On June 28th, 2016, everything changed for Bonnie Gisriel-Magerer.

She and her husband Scott woke up that morning preparing for their company EC Events biggest event of the year at Fort Belvoir military base in Virginia.

She would end the day a widow; her husband had collapsed from a heart attack in the middle of the event. He was 51.

“I look back at that day and I can remember every detail, every smell, every cloud in the sky,” recalls Bonnie. “Without my leadership skills and my faith, there is no way I could have made it through that day.”

In the hours that followed her husband’s death, Bonnie personified grace under fire, leading her employees to finish the job through the crisis.

Today, Bonnie is the founder of BPowered Coaching, where she has taken the lessons that she learned through her many entrepreneurial quests on that tragic day to help leaders become even better leaders.

“Most people don't figure out they're not a great leader until they’re deep in it,” says Bonnie, “So many leaders believe it’s all about profit, and that’s because most entrepreneurs have no background in leadership. They had an idea, they had a product, and they fought to bring it to market, but now their organization has grown to the point where they are no longer leading it properly.”

Bonnie says being a true leader is being a servant leader: you have to give back to your people and treat them the way they need to be treated so that they feel fulfilled and continue to grow.
