Margaret Williams’ Bio

Linkedin

I am a certified executive leadership coach with over 500 coaching hours documented through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am also a certified systemic team coach. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Technical Management (DeVry University) and a Master of Science degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology (Walden University).

I recently retired on September 30, 2025, after 39 years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, specializing in construction contract administration.

I was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and grew up in Detroit. I am single and have one daughter, who resides in Michigan and is a truck driver. I live in Anchorage, Alaska, with my loyal golden retriever, Prince, and Great Pyrenees, Ruger.

As an introvert, I enjoy reflecting, listening to music, and learning new things.

What I love most about being in Alaska is that, regardless of the time of year, it’s always beautiful, which I can appreciate, having grown up in Michigan! I am also a nature lover, and after eight moves, I am thrilled to call Anchorage, Alaska, home!!

Promise:

As a certified executive leadership coach, mentor, I promise to create a powerful space where:

…leaders can reconnect to their purpose,

…underrepresented voices are centered—not silenced,

…healing and growth coexist with ambition,

…clarity replaces confusion,

…adaptability is celebrated as strength,

…and resilience is nurtured, not assumed.

It is a space where leadership is human,

equity is non-negotiable,

and transformation begins within.
