Margot Faraci

Margot Faraci is global leadership expert.  With over two decades of senior leadership experience and her own landmark global research, she possesses a unique combination of experience and data.  

She entertains and educates with storytelling and evidence, making the case for change and showing how. She knows that traditional leadership won’t drive sustained performance nor solve tomorrow’s problems.  Audiences receive proven, practical tools to work with.

Margot knows how difficult leadership is: she’s delivered billions in revenue, leading teams of thousands, often in crisis conditions. She’s worked with boards on strategic transformation. She understands that corporate leadership is an extreme sport: delivering financial growth, customer satisfaction, employee engagement, risk management and managing public expectations. On top of that, there are the office politics, HR issues and the pressure to be a role model.   

Margot noticed that as she became more senior, more “successful”, she also became more miserable. So did her peers.

Margot was determined to find a more powerful way.

Once she did, everything transformed.

She created a new way of leading for herself and her teams, leading to unprecedented success.  

Now she brings that next-generation leadership to her audiences.

Margot’s study, researching 2,500 corporate leaders across the US, the UK and Australia, is ground-breaking, and instructive for any corporate audience.  The study confirms that current leadership practices  - which emerging leaders are learning and applying - aren’t working, in fact, they’re costing Australia alone $2.3b in lost productivity.

Margot is regularly sought by media: she’s been featured in US and UK media, including in Fast Company, Medium, Business Leader, Startups Magazine, The CFO, The Leadership Enigma Podcast and Cosmopolitan, as well as at home in Australia in the Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, Sky News, The Future Tense and every week talking leadership on radio with ABC Drive.   

Margot’s keynote speaking and leadership work has been enjoyed globally by giants like Amazon and Coca-Cola as well as a diverse range of corporates in Australia.
