About Me
Margaret H. Kelsey, Ed.M.
Guiding women 50+ to new heights, merging deep wisdom with modern tech and strategy.
I'm a certified transformational coach, mindfulness facilitator, and organizational leadership instructional strategist with over 30 years of experience working at the intersection of personal growth, systemic change, mindful, values-based leadership, and information technology.
My work is grounded in a rich lineage of inquiry—from human and adult development theory (Gilligan, Kegan, Gardner), to vertical leadership frameworks (Maslow, Barrett), to systems transformation (Wilber & Scharmer), to embodied presence (Kabat-Zinn, Sharon Saltzburg, Tara Brach), to radical compassion (Pema Chödrön), and, yes, emergent human-centered AI application.
I specialize in guiding accomplished women—leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, visionaries—through moments of profound transition. Not to reinvent who they are, but to help them remember, reclaim, and reimagine the fullness of their becoming.
My approach weaves together:
Mindful awareness
and reflection
Evidence-based adult development models
Values-centered inquiry and leadership diagnostics
Systems thinking and reflective intelligence
Intelligent integration of emerging technologies and AI-enhanced tools
Facilitating connection with other like-minded, spirited women

Signature Program:
Mission ImPossible!
Seeking to position yourself as a leader in your realm of excellence harnessing AI?
This three month signature program is designed just for YOU!

Turning 50+ is a time to celebrate and share everything you have accomplished as well as tap all the wisdom you hold and direct it into the next chapter by harnessing AI to ideate, create and innovate.
Month 1: Purpose, Passion, Potential
In this first month, we'll use psychometrics tools and AI sentiment analysis to identify your values and how you're expressing them to gain clarity on where and how you are sharing your talents. We'll look at what fuels your passion and what also robs it.
Month 2: Connection, Ideation, Creation
In the 2nd month, we'll bring clarity to your visions by connecting with others, ideating and creating a new product or service. This will be your proof of concept, which you can tweak, refine, and eventually even pitch. We'll also identify how you can build your base by creating your digital twin who will be working while you're sleeping.
Month 3: Invitation, Collaboration, Innovation
In this last month, we'll explore places and spaces where you can share your mission-driven work to invite and collaborate with others to further innovating your products and services.
The world awaits your next chapter. Let's turn the page!
