Maggie Coulter,
Executive & Leadership Coach

Helping leaders develop greater clarity, confidence and capacity under pressure

What I do

I work with executives and leadership teams who are navigating the complexity and pressure that come with leading in changing organizations.

My clients are often experienced, capable leaders who want space to step back and think more deeply about how they are leading, how they are showing up with others, and what may need to shift as their responsibilities, relationships or organizations evolve.

Even highly accomplished leaders can find themselves overthinking, second-guessing, striving for perfection, people-pleasing, or struggling to own their voice, particularly when the stakes are high. These patterns can quietly shape how we make decisions, navigate relationships, respond to pressure and lead others.

Through executive coaching, team coaching and leadership development, I support leaders to:

Navigate change, complexity and increased responsibility

Strengthen confidence, influence and their voice as a leader

Work more effectively with challenging relationships and team dynamics

Recognize how they respond under pressure and develop greater choice in how they lead

Build the reflective capacity to see themselves, others and the systems around them more clearly

Hi, I’m Maggie Coulter.

I bring more than 25 years of business and leadership experience to my work as an executive coach, including management and Vice President roles in capital markets with major Canadian financial institutions, and Principal Partnership in a coaching and leadership development company (pdlgcoaching.com). I know first-hand about the complexity, pressure and relationships that come with organizational leadership.

Since transitioning to coaching, I have worked with executives and senior leaders across financial services, healthcare, government, technology, education and other sectors. My approach is reflective, relational, trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming, creating space for leaders to see themselves and their circumstances more clearly and find their own way forward.

I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Trauma-Informed Certified Coach (TICC), with additional education in strategic leadership, coaching supervision, mindfulness and leadership assessment.

Testimonials

"Since coaching with Maggie, we have noted a difference in how this senior executive interacts with other senior executive peers.  More specifically, we have noticed that this leader has broadened the influence they have at the CEO’s table.  They shifted their focus from being the executive leader of a technical, specialized function to being an executive who can lead a highly technical, specialized function and also play a role in broader leadership of the business."

"Through my coaching relationship with Maggie, I've developed deeper insights into my leadership values and approach, particularly around creating sustainable practices that honor both professional skill development and relational care. Maggie’s guidance has helped me navigate significant organizational transitions while maintaining a focus on core personal and team values, contributing to my growth as a leader and my ability to support institutional change during a complex period of restructuring."

"Maggie created an open and collaborative environment that helped me explore my strengths and limitations as a leader. The change that helped me the most to become better with employees, clients and family, was a simple concept: being more aware of how to show up in interactions with people… (focusing on) not just who I wanted to be as a leader but how I wanted to be perceived."
