Since 1966, Margaret Wheatley has worked globally in many different roles: as speaker, teacher, community worker, consultant, advisor, formal leader.  In every forum, she gives voice to her unshakable conviction that leaders must rely on and evoke people’s inherent generosity, creativity, and need for community. As this world tears us apart, sane leadership on behalf of the human spirit is the only way forward.  Since 2015, with Jerry Granelli (died 07/21), she has been dedicated to training hundreds of leaders and activists from 35 countries as Warriors for the Human Spirit, armed with only the weapons of compassion and insight.  In 2020, she and Jerry combined their talents to create The Warrior’s Songline, a multi-sensory experience of voice and sound that evokes the experiences and skillful means of the Warrior’s journey.

She is best-selling author of nine books, from the classic Leadership and the New Science (1992) to Who Do We Choose To Be? Facing Reality, Claiming Leadership, Restoring Sanity ( 2017).  

Meg and Pema became dear friends in 1998.  In 2007, Meg asked to become her student, which lasted until 2017. (Since then, Pema has supported her as a teacher of Warriorship.)  During those ten years, Pema guided her through nine 60-day solo meditation retreats, six at Gampo Abbey.  Meg’s work of training Warriors arose as a natural expression of her decades of experience with leaders and organizations combining with what she has learned as a student of Pema and Chögyam Trungpa.
