Speaker Bio: Margie Hamner.
Margie Hamner is the best-selling children’s book author of Magic Ball of Light: Summer Camp. Her journey into writing was sparked by an unexpected vision during a Zoom call, where she saw herself holding a glowing ball of light and sharing it with children. This powerful image ignited her passion to empower children to believe in themselves and their dreams.
Before becoming an author, Margie had a distinguished career as an HR leadership instructor and coach. After years of developing today’s leaders, she transitioned to empowering the next generation—your children and grandchildren. She is an inspirational speaker and holds a bachelor’s degree from American University, an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation, and a Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) through the Association for Talent Development. Margie and her husband enjoy life at their lake house in Virginia. As a proud grandmother of six, her grandchildren are the heart of her storytelling. In her free time, she enjoys swimming, fishing, biking, visiting museums, practicing Qigong, photography, holistic living, and real estate investing.

Are you ready for your big and lofty dreams to manifest? Or, have you given up? Have you tried so many times and failed? Well, it’s time to dream again, and this time around commit to seeing it manifest. This conference is for women and girls who have dreams, big and lofty dreams, and need a push in the right direction to take action and see their dreams manifest. This conference is also for women and girls who have faced obstacles to living their dreams. Some have abandoned their dreams or spend a huge part of their lives living the dreams or others or being discouraged to live their dreams. Research informs us that over 50 percent of women give up on their dreams. One of the main reasons is due to lack of confidence. However, of those who pursue their dreams, about 82 percent achieve them. 82 percent is encouraging and worth the gamble to take a leap and live your dreams. This conference is in two parts. Part 1 is for women leaders and part 2 is for our future women leaders, girls.
In this conference, you will be inspired, empowered, motivated, gain confidence, and held accountable to live your dreams boldly. This is a conference with an incredible speaker line-up to equip women and girls to live their dreams boldly. Join us at the 2023 Girls Can Dream Big 2 Conference. Stay tuned for more information.
