Bio
Julie King
Working with Margo at World Gym was a great experience. I have always been impressed by work ethic and her ability to take on new roles with tremendous success. We have remained in contact over the years and I have witnessed her eagerness to expand her knowledge base and become an effective leader. She is respected professionally as well as personally. She is constantly seeking to improve herself and that translates to her employees, colleagues and friends. Margo is well suited to leading a diverse group of people as she is courteous and respectful in her communication, she has an open and welcoming demeanor, she is an expert in her field, she knows how to surround herself with the right people and she is genuine. Margo would be an asset to a corporation seeking an executive level or potential executive level leader as she is not only willing but very capable of learning new skills.

I have had the pleasure of working with Margo over the last 13 years and I have consistently been impressed by her strong leadership skills and ability to handle every situation with grace. She is well respected and admired by employees because she leads by example, communicates effectively, and organizes activities that are meaningful and engaging. Margo seeks feedback and monitors data to ensure that her programs are successful. With the COVID pandemic, she pivoted and changed her approach to continue meeting the needs of employees. Margo Bates is a wonderful asset to our organization.
