Margret Wilson

Meet Margret

I didn’t become a workplace wellbeing strategist because I thought companies needed more wellness programs. I became one because I saw firsthand what was missing.

​

For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in high-pressure corporate environments where priorities compete, workloads shift, and the people who are most capable often become the people carrying the most.

I know that experience personally.

​

As a solo parent, and corporate professional, I spent years becoming very good at handling whatever was

in front of me. I could manage the pressure, solve the problem, take on more, and keep going.

From the outside, that looked like high performance.

​

But I eventually learned that capability and capacity are not the same thing. Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you have the capacity to keep doing it.

​

That realization led me to study Mind-Body Transformational Psychology, Holistic Wellness, Life Coaching, and Hypnotherapy. But it also changed the way I looked at the workplace.

​

I began to see that many of the challenges we call wellbeing problems are also ways-of-working problems.

​

When everything feels urgent, access becomes availability, the most capable people continually absorb more, and when pushing through is rewarded, even great employees can find themselves functioning beyond their capacity.

​

That is why I created Capacity Compass™.

​

My work sits at the intersection of workplace realities, human behavior, wellbeing, and sustainable performance. I help organizations move beyond simply giving employees more information about wellbeing and start examining how people actually work.

​

Because sustainable performance isn’t about asking people to become better at enduring unsustainable

ways of working.​
