About - Margie Lynch Coaching & Consulting

Prioritize your wellbeing and design the life you've always dreamed of so you can live a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life

Wellbeing Coaching Can Help You Get There!

You are career focused, but you recognize that shouldn’t have to come at the expense of a thriving family and personal life. You recognize that work, family, and personal life integration is crucial to being a well-rounded person. Yet, striking that balance seems like a far-reaching pipe dream.

Your wellbeing sits at the heart of everything you want to accomplish in life. When you don’t prioritize your wellbeing, you’re less likely to achieve your goals and more likely to burn out from spreading yourself too thin.

Through wellbeing coaching that leans on the principles of Positive Psychology, you can establish a clear vision for your future, nurture a more positive mindset, harness motivation, and build resilience to stress, so you can go on to achieve more.

My name is Margie Lynch, and as a certified wellbeing coach, I am here to support you on your wellbeing journey.

These are some of the hats I’ve worn:

Business leader

VP in HR for several Fortune 500 companies

Global diversity and inclusion leader

Professional coach

Positive psychology practitioner

Adjunct instructor at a women’s college (University of St. Catherine)

I help women navigate their path in a way that keeps all aspects of healthy wellbeing in perspective. If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.

My Journey into Coaching

I’ve spent my professional career as a senior human resources executive for Fortune 500 companies. I’ve accumulated prestigious certifications as well as a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership and a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Behavioral Science.

I’ve been honored as a Top 15 Business Woman in Illinois – National Diversity Council. I’ve also received the following awards: Role Model Award for Mentoring and Team Development, People Development, Unsung Hero, and Humanitarian Award.

While I’m proud of these professional awards, and my experiences in corporate America, I wanted to do more. I wanted to pursue my dream of helping other women succeed in their professional lives by becoming a certified wellbeing coach, with training in positive psychology.

So that’s exactly what I did.

My Personal Story

I’ve done a lot of internal work to get where I am today. I entered the professional world shy, lacking confidence, and suffering from perfectionism.

I did what others expected of me, instead of trusting my own instincts. What others thought of me became more important than what I thought of myself, and I wanted to do all that I could to live up to those expectations.

I overcame these habits and thought patterns with the help of positive psychology in my own life. I developed healthy habits and removed the toxic relationships from my life. I created hard goals and refused to leave the outcome of the future to chance. Optimism and authenticity became central tenets as I evolved into the person I was meant to be.

As a single mother, I advanced in my career, completed my degree, and ran marathons – all while raising my three sons. I did all this while exploring my hobbies of running, biking, reading and learning, traveling, sipping wine, and socializing with friends and family.

I often get questions such as “Can I grow my career while raising a family?” and “How can I find my purpose?” I am living proof that it’s possible, and that you can find your purpose while giving these other areas of your life the proper attention they deserve.

I benefited from the help of excellent leaders, mentors, and coaches along my journey. They each provided a gentle nudge forward when I lacked confidence in myself. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I’ve learned so much.

I want to give back and support other women in their journey. I’m hoping that my experiences, skills, and knowledge may in some way make their journey a little easier.

I Work with Early to Mid-Career Women Who:

Are We an Ideal Fit?

Hiring a coach is a big step and it’s important to find out if we’ll work well together. When you’re opening up and doing courageous work, having the right person in your corner makes all the difference in the world.

I will be a good listener and I am genuinely invested in your success. I can show you what the road away from your comfort zone looks and feels like. I am passionately curious and will ask questions and inspire you to think differently.

I am certified in multiple assessments and will find the right blend of tools to help make your journey as smooth yet powerful as possible. I’m not afraid to hold you accountable with compassion and heart along the way.
