About | About Meggin

The purpose of my company, Emphasis on Excellence, Inc. is changing what people know, feel, dream, and do through workshops, seminars, coaching, and consulting.

“Meggin sets the bar for excellence.”  Gwen Anne Thacker

The “Make a Difference (and Make Money) Teaching Teachers” seminar, offered most recently during the summer of 2007, fits in with my philosophy and my purpose...and
the place where I am in my life. 

“Meggin has influenced me over the years.  This week tells me why. 
A culmination and a renewed energy occurred for me.” Cole Phariss

According to the Gallup Organization's Strengthsfinder® Profile, my strengths (which
come as no shock to anyone who knows me) are: 
  • Strategic:  People strong in the Strategic theme sort through the clutter and
    find the best route.  When faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot
    the relevant patterns and issues—and then they move forward.
     
  • Maximizer:  People strong in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way
    to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something
    strong into something superb.  Those with the Maximizer strength live to find
    and work with other excellent people.
     
  • Intellection:  Those who exhibit the Intellection theme love to think and
    engage in mental activity. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what the
    person thinks about; it simply describes that he/she likes to think.  Wherever
    the introspection leads people with the Intellection theme, this mental hum is
    one of the constants of their lives.
     
  • Significance:  People strong in the Significance theme want to be very impor-
    tant in the eyes of others. They are independent and want to be recognized.  In
    addition to wanting to be admired as credible, professional, and successful, they
    want to associate with others who are credible, professional, and successful. 
     
  • Achiever:  People strong in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina
    and work hard because of the internal fire that drives them to accomplish.  
    They take great satisfaction from being busy, productive, and moving forward
    on new tasks and challenges. 
I combine these strengths along with 30 years of speaking, training, teaching, writing,
and presenting to design a workshop that will let you deliver your talents, passion, and
knowledge to others—and get paid to do so.

“Fabulous!  I can’t say enough.  Not only incredibly knowledgeable, but a
warm and joyful human being.  It is a pleasure to be in your company!
You made each one of us feel special.” - Michelle Parvin
