Peggy is the author of two best-selling books, BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It and The Hard Truth About Soft Skills: Workplace Lessons Smart People Wish They’d Learned Sooner.
As one of America’s most sought-after communication and leadership experts, Peggy has spent more than two decades helping thousands of professionals from Fortune 500’s, mid-size companies and start-ups succeed in their jobs.

Peggy began her career as an actor and classical singer, earning advanced degrees in drama, speech and theater from the London-based Royal Academy of Music and The Drama Studio. From England she moved to Hollywood, working as a producer, director, and talent coach for actors, comedians, musicians and broadcasters in production for Paramount Studios, Warner Brothers, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
When not working, she can be found enjoying the incredible beauty of Santa Fe, New Mexico where she lives.
I can’t thank you enough for your assistance on my journey. You have really changed the direction of my path as you gave me the tools and confidence in myself to land this awesome role!

As a woman of color, I am grateful for Peggy’s tireless championing with helping me (and so many others) break through the often double glass ceiling faced by people of color in the corporate workplace. I can’t imagine making a career move or adjusting my career plan without first consulting her.
