Strategic Counsel Appointment

$497.00 CAD

A 60-minute private advisory session for high-achieving founders facing complex dynamics—who want to lead with clarity, not confusion.

You don’t need another opinion... you need a clear, strategic read on what’s actually going on.

 

You don’t need to unpack your childhood.

You don’t need 42 mindset hacks.

You don’t need another “CEO bestie” in your DMs.

 

You need calm, grounded, confidential counsel, so you can:

 

  • Stop second-guessing yourself

  • Get out of the emotional spiral

  • And decide what actually needs to happen next

 

Whether it’s a contract issue, a conflict you’ve been avoiding, or a moment where your leadership feels shaky—this is the session that gets you back in your power.

"I built this session for the moment when you’re sitting in front of a Slack message with a knot in your stomach… and no idea what to say next.”

-SUSANNAH 

 This is for you if:

  • You’re holding back on a decision because you don’t want to “make it worse”

  • You’re in an emotional loop after a tense conversation or passive-aggressive Slack message

  • You’re scared of how someone will react to a boundary, a no, or a necessary shift

  • You’re torn between what’s strategic and what’s “nice”

  • You’re exhausted from overthinking—and just want to know what to do

 

You don’t need to rehearse.

You don’t need to be sure what the problem is.

You just need a place to land—and someone who can read the room with you.

"One client told me: ‘I didn’t even know what I needed—I just knew I couldn’t keep holding it all together.’”

-SUSANNAH 

What You’ll Walk Away With:

✔ A calm, grounded read on what’s really happening

✔ Clarity on the decision, boundary, or next step that protects your power

✔ Language and positioning that supports your brand and reputation

✔ Strategic insight that makes the emotional weight lighter

✔ Confidence that you’re not missing something, being too much, or getting it wrong

"Clients have used this hour to rewrite refund policies, navigate team breakdowns, or end $50k contracts without reputational damage."

Why This Works (When Nothing Else Has)

 

As a lawyer and certified professional coach with almost 15 years of experience navigating high-stakes conflict, I bring a unique mix of:

  • Legal insight (contractual nuance, risk exposure, reputation protection)

  • Conflict psychology (what motivates people, how to de-escalate, when to hold firm)

  • High-level strategy (business positioning, leadership dynamics, founder identity)

 

This isn’t generic coaching or business advice.

 

It’s the precision read that helps you stop spinning... and lead with power.

What Happens in the Session:

  • You show up—no prep needed, no pressure to explain it perfectly

  • We lay out what’s happening: the players, the tension, the decision point

  • I read the subtext and name the power dynamics

  • We clarify what matters most—and how to protect it

  • You leave with a calm, grounded, strategic next step you can implement immediately

About Susannah Margison

 

I’m not your therapist. I’m not your business coach.

I’m a lawyer, former litigator, and strategic advisor who’s helped hundreds of people navigate high-stakes conflict with clarity and power.

I spent over a decade in courtrooms and boardrooms, reading subtext, naming power dynamics, and resolving situations no one wanted to touch. What I learned?

Success doesn’t protect you from emotional spirals, people-pleasing, or conflict fatigue. But strategy does.

Today, I run Margisons Strategic Counsel: a boutique advisory for high-achieving founders who are done carrying the emotional and reputational weight of their business alone.

This Strategic Counsel Appointment is where we put it down—and pick up your power instead.
