BigSpeak Speakers Bureau is thrilled to welcome bestselling author and global leadership advisor Dr. Margie Warrell as an exclusive keynote speaker.

A ‘courage strategist,’ Margie has spent decades equipping leaders, teams, and organizations worldwide to ignite bolder action for better outcomes. With a career spanning senior leadership roles at Korn Ferry, BP, and KPMG, as well as consulting with boards and C-suites across four continents, Margie brings both rare credibility and lived wisdom to the stage.

Margie doesn’t just talk about courage—she’s lived it. From growing up on a dairy farm in rural Australia as the eldest of seven, to raising four children across multiple continents, to overcoming profound personal trials, her journey underscores the resilience, humanity, and strength she now inspires in others. Her experiences—from surviving an armed robbery to finding purpose in personal tragedy—fuel her conviction that adversity can be transformed into powerful catalysts for growth.

Margie’s programs focus on building braver, bolder leaders who can navigate complexity, adapt quickly, and lead with human-centered courage. She bridges intellect and emotion, pairing strategy with psychology to move leaders from “knowing what to do” to actually doing it.

Trusted by organizations from NASA and US Special Operations to Fortune 100 companies, Margie has earned standing ovations across more than 30 countries. A dynamic storyteller with authentic Australian warmth, she helps leaders close the gap between intention and action—empowering teams to step boldly into the challenges and opportunities of today’s business landscape and beyond.

As a bestselling author of six books, including The Courage Gap, Margie continues to shape the global conversation on courageous leadership. She is a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, contributes regularly to Forbes and Fast Company, and has advised government and business leaders on stages worldwide.

For event organizers seeking a keynote speaker who will embolden braver action, inspire courageous conversations, and leave audiences with actionable strategies they can implement immediately, Margie Warrell delivers.
