At a glance

  • Bestselling Author of Five Books on Leadership
  • Senior Partner at Korn Ferry
  • Advocate for Women in Leadership
Dr. Margie Warrell is a global authority on courageous leadership, renowned for her dynamic presence and transformative impact. Raised in rural Australia, Margie learned early to face fear head-on and embrace change—a spirit that has fueled her international career across Papua New Guinea, Singapore, and beyond. With a Master’s in Leadership and Organizational Change and a Ph.D. in Human Development, she brings deep expertise to every stage and boardroom. Margie’s journey from corporate roles to bestselling author, keynote speaker, and Senior Partner at Korn Ferry’s CEO & Enterprise Leadership Institute is marked by her passion for empowering others. She has inspired audiences at NASA, Dell, Google, and more, equipping leaders to navigate risk, drive innovation, and build resilient teams. Her five acclaimed books, including "Stop Playing Safe," "You’ve Got This!," and the forthcoming "The Courage Gap", have established her as a thought leader in her field. A fierce advocate for women in leadership, Margie has co-led Korn Ferry’s Power of All initiative and participated in government roundtables to advance gender equity. She leads women’s leadership retreats and workshops worldwide, including in communities like Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, empowering women to step into their potential. Beyond her professional achievements, Margie is a mother of four, an avid hiker who has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the host of the Live Brave podcast. Her engaging storytelling and practical wisdom have made her a sought-after media contributor and a catalyst for courageous cultures. Margie’s mission is simple: to help people and organizations live and lead more bravely, creating lasting impact wherever she goes.
