Executive Coaching with Dr. Peggy Marshall
Clear. Courageous. Embodied. Passionate about Change.
Executive coaching with me is about more than the next goal. It’s about becoming the leader you are meant to be—clear in purpose, courageous in choice, and embodied in practice. After three decades devoted to leadership and change, I bring not only deep experience but a passion that still burns brightly: helping leaders transform themselves, their teams, and their organizations for lasting impact.

Why Partner with an Executive Coach?
Today’s leaders navigate relentless disruption, complexity, and pressure. You’re expected to deliver results while cultivating a healthy, inclusive culture. It’s a demanding role—and it can feel isolating at the top.
Coaching offers a confidential, strategic partnership to step out of reactivity, expand capacity, and amplify impact in ways that align with your deepest values. After more than 30 years coaching senior leaders, I know the challenges are real—and so are the possibilities when you have the right support.
My Approach: Rigor, Practice, and Embodiment
My coaching blends research with real-world application—and embodiment: aligning what you know with how you show up. We turn insight into practices that live in your calendar, your conversations, and your nervous system.
- Detach from Drama®
Reset reactivity, navigate conflict, and build emotional agility you can feel—and others can trust. - Sustaining Impact™
Grow clarity, resilience, and embodied leadership that holds steady under pressure. - Sustaining Impact in Organizations™
Extend your personal transformation into the systems you lead so behavior, culture, and results align.
Foundation of credibility: My practice draws on adult development (Robert Kegan, Bill Torbert), psychological safety (Amy Edmondson), and systemic team coaching (Peter Hawkins, David Clutterbuck). With a PhD in Leadership and Change, I bring the best of leadership theory into conversation with your daily realities. These frameworks were forged in practice, not just conceived in a classroom.
What “Embodied Leadership” Means Here
• Your values are visible in your timing, tone, and choices.
• Your presence helps regulate rooms, not just results.
• Practices are short and repeatable, so they hold under pressure.
Your Agenda, Your Growth—In Your Body, Not Just Your Head
Every engagement is tailored to your context and goals. Leaders often work with me to navigate challenges like:
- Sharpening Strategic Thinking
Move from mental noise to grounded clarity you can communicate and embody. - Leading Through Change
Build patterns of presence that steady teams and prevent exhaustion. - Executive Presence
Align breath, voice, and stance so credibility and influence emerge without performance. - Inclusive Leadership
Create psychological safety through consistent, embodied signals of respect and fairness. - Scaling Leadership
Shift from doing to designing systems—while modeling the centered behavior you expect from others.
How the Partnership Works
- Discovery & Alignment
We clarify your goals, understand your context, and establish meaningful measures of success. - Coaching Engagement
Typical engagements last 6–12 months with bi-weekly sessions that are reflective, challenging, and intensely practical. - Integration & Embodiment
Between sessions, you’ll practice micro-pauses in meetings, somatic check-ins before high-stakes conversations, and brief reflection loops to move from insight to habit. - Measuring What Matters
We track progress across your leadership competencies and the outcomes that matter—decision quality, execution, trust, and resilience.
To remain fully present for each client, I limit the number of executives I coach each year.
Who I Partner With
Senior leaders, C-suite executives, and high-potential leaders across corporate, healthcare, education, and the public sector. Industries vary; the shared trait is a commitment to lead with greater clarity, courage, and authenticity.
My Practice, Your Advantage
I have devoted my life to the work of leadership and change. For more than three decades, I’ve walked alongside leaders as they navigated disruption, transformation, and growth. What has never changed is my passion: helping people step into the fullest expression of their leadership.
That passion fuels my writing (Detach from Drama, Sustaining Impact, and the forthcoming Leadership ARC), my doctoral research in leadership and change, and every coaching partnership I take on. The years of experience matter—but it’s the energy, commitment, and love for this work that make the difference.
When you work with me, you are not just getting a coach. You’re engaging with a partner who has built and rebuilt frameworks in practice, who believes in embodied leadership as the path to sustainable impact, and who is deeply committed to your growth.
