Margo Fowkes is the president of OnTarget Consulting, Inc., a firm specializing in helping organizations and individuals act strategically, improve performance and achieve their business goals. Margo works with clients to solve problems of productivity, morale and innovation. She also coaches leaders on how to create a more compassionate culture by speaking openly about grief and loss in the workplace. Inspired by her son Jimmy who died in 2014 after an eight-year battle with brain cancer, Margo launched Salt Water, an online community that provides a safe harbor for those who have lost someone dear to them -- a child, parent, partner, sibling, close friend or pet. Inspired by Jimmy's determination to live a rich, full life despite his circumstances, Salt Water's articles and other resources focus on healing and building a new life in the aftermath of a devastating loss. Part of Margo's unique approach can be credited to her most perceptive critic – her father, who until his death at the age of 102, provided thoughtful counsel on her consulting practice and ran the best clipping service around.
