Some of the amazing organisations I have assisted:
Margot has a wealth of experience in the many facets of the legal, administration and governance of sport. On a number of occasions she has provided me with a skilful mix of timely advice and mentoring.

Margot is a generous mentor … who gives clear advice, asks valuable questions, offers considered opinion and wise counsel. I recommend her as a coach, mentor, and consultant.
ELLIE
The workshop and information session was informative and well conducted. Margot was able to engage all members of the board across their variety of experiences and professions.

The resounding answer in my humble opinion is a big fat No!
