Every Path Deserves a Plan: Helping Teens, Parents, and Athletes Find Direction — Margaretrose Cox

Margaretrose Cox joins Born Without a Choice for a conversation about identity, confidence, decision-making, communication, and finding direction when you don’t yet know what comes next.

A certified DISC and emotional intelligence trainer, author, and upcoming TEDx speaker, Margaretrose helps teens, parents, coaches, and athletic directors better understand how people are wired and how that understanding can translate into practical action.

Her work with teenagers focuses on helping them understand their communication styles, emotional patterns, strengths, and responses to pressure so they can create a realistic plan for their future. That plan doesn’t have to mean college—trade school, military service, work, or a gap year can all be valid paths.

Margaretrose also works with athletic coaches and directors, helping them understand how individual athletes respond differently to feedback, pressure, correction, and leadership. The goal is to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach and create communication that actually connects.
