Credentials
Bio
Dynamic and compelling, Margaret Briem lives life on her own terms. As a Life Coach for the past eight years, Margaret has supported many others to fine-tune their own lives the same way. As someone who processes her own obstacles verbally, Margaret automatically sees the roadblocks and then decides the direction she wants to go regardless of what stands in her way. 'When I see what I want I go for it.' It is never a matter of I cannot have that, it is a matter of I want it so I just need to figure out how to get it. Margaret always has a plan A, B and C.
As someone who has lived life to the fullest, Margaret has served in the United States Army in a military intelligence battalion, been a teen parent, served on non-profit boards, and is a foster and adoptive parent. She performed the duties of assistant training NCO in the military, and while working in Real Estate, trained the new agents in her office. Margaret served as the Extreme Self Care Special Interest Group host for Coach U for five years. She also founded a chapter of a national networking organization for women and performed the duties of president for two years.
Margaret has contributed to the parenting of 29 kids and counting. She took on Sacramento County, California, attending court on average four days a month for a year and a half, changing three policies that violated the law and harmed foster children and their families. Margaret simply does not give up.
Currently, Margaret continues to run her home-based business working as a life coach, trainer, speaker and internet entrepreneur. She has eight children and counting along with eight grandchildren. Margaret and her husband have been married for 13 years. They live with three of their children, five cats and two birds, but that can change at a moment’s notice, when a child or sibling group needs a home.
