Before joining Margie's Paradigm 21's coaching training program, I already had many lessons and training on coaching, from the "Grow" model to Nike/Apple's internal coaching trainings. I did not expect much when I signed up for this course, but I must say I am blown away by the experience. First, I love the way Margie worked hard to emphasize the difference between coaching, training, and consulting. This fundamentally changed how I worked with my clients and helped me focus my effort to become a better coach. I used to be all over the place. I would offer suggestions, take clients to solutions too soon, ignore clients' motivations, and "did the work for my client" instead of coaching them to find their own paths. I have evolved thanks to Margie's training. Second, the structure of the training was incredibly effective and supportive. Even though the training was conducted entirely via Zoom, due to COVID, the interaction and atmosphere was better than any of the in-person coaching training I have received in the past, even at my previous companies such as Nike and Apple. The trainer and facilitators made a considerable effort to make sure everyone got to participate without being pushy. They steered the conversation towards positivity, learning, and growth. They created a safe space for me to be vulnerable, which propelled me to thorough growth and ultimately, transformation. Lastly, I really appreciate the vast network of classmates and alumni from all the courses of Paradigm 21. I felt blessed to be in a community of folks who all shared the passion for personal growth and coaching/serving others. It's priceless to be able to find my own tribe! Thank you for this transformative experience. I am very grateful.

- David Siu  ACC,  Ex-GM  MNCs, Leadership Coach 

 

Margie guided us as our mentor in our journey to become transformational coaches at Paradigm21.  Throughout this journey, Margie involced us and pushed us out of our comfort zone to learn.  She was able to sustain our passion and enthusiasm by building social platforms for us to share and learn with other coaches globally.  Lastly by walking the talk, she has set the pace and cadence for us as future coaching leaders to help enrich others lives.  Thank you Margie.

- "Margie Poon was my executive coach for four years.  We spent a lot of time on Paradigm21 Multiple Intelligence Thinking Styles (MITS) Model which provides insight into four main personal capabilities. Each results in a distinct leadership style. The application of the model offered a huge breakthrough as to how I understood people and their behavior in my work environment.  I was able to think, work and manage with better acceptance and more effective strategies.  We reviewed this model in variations time after time and applied it to new circumstances as time passed.  It never failed to provide access to new information of my surroundings.

​

Margie is a very personable coach who genuinely cares about my professional and as well personal development. She believes that a good executive can only perform when his or her life outisde of work is cared about.  We spent time discussing striking a good balance between work and personal life.  

​

Margie is highly ethical and trustworthy.  All along the way, she kept the contents of our discussions strictly confidential.  I was very comfortable collaborating with her on strategies on any matters. Our relatonship has developed from Margie being an executive coach to a great mentor of mine.

​

I highly recommend Margie to all management level professionals who seek for external or internal coaching in their very demanding workplaces."
