Margaret J Shepherd

Margaret J. Shepherd is a leadership and performance improvement trainer, success coach, speaker, seminar leader and author.

She is also an ordained minister with an MBA and corporate background. From that unique vantage point, one day a realization changed her life and work forever. Seeing business success that didn’t feed the soul, and spiritual seekers who couldn’t pay their rent, she wondered - is life a trade-off between inner fulfillment and financial security? No. She firmly believes we are each hardwired for panoramic success – fulfillment in every area of life all at once.

Determined to find a way to re-activate that innate success momentum, she studied how our minds work - brain hemispheres, how thoughts affect brain chemistry, how hidden fears and beliefs hold us back and how the right mindset moves us forward. She studied the law of attraction, metaphysics and the mystics. She revisited what she knew about systems, strategy and measurement. She studied personality types and cultural differences, and the business gurus. She held to her belief that we are here to express our uniqueness, and that following a heartfelt Vision activates our innate success momentum.

From all of this, she created the Visionbuilders program, a unique skillset of the right vision, a success mindset, self mastery and whole-brain intelligence. She has been teaching it since 2001. Her book THE VISIONBUILDER’S MANUAL: 9 Steps to Panoramic Success for your Company, Career or Cause, Morgan James Publishers, was released January 2011.

Her free weekly message “T.G.I.M. – Thank God It’s Monday” inspires the workweek, and her free monthly teleclass BUILD YOUR BIG DOG VISION is a “Don’t miss it!” event.
