Margot Toppen - Career & Business Coaching for Educators

I help educators, career changers, and early-stage edtech founders turn clarity into momentum through a blend of coaching, community, and actionable strategy. Drawing from decades of experience leading teams, building programs, and launching ventures in K–12, my programs combine social-emotional learning (SEL) principles, human-centered design, and real-world career development tools to help people move from overwhelm and stagnation to confidence, creativity, and aligned action. My signature offerings include: • Flow Membership: A supportive business & career development community specifically for education professionals with weekly checkins, live coaching, office hours, and structured “micro-transformation” events that help members get unstuck and make measurable progress. • 1:1 Career & Leadership Coaching: Personalized guidance for educators exploring new ventures, leading innovation within their organization, or navigating a career transition. • School/District Workshops: Interactive PD experiences that empower teachers with practical tools for problem-solving, creativity, and agency, all designed to boost retention and spark renewed purpose. • Edtech Founder Support: Coaching and strategic advising for early-stage founders who need clarity on how to move from idea to prototype to generating revenue, along with an emotional-regulation toolkit for navigating the uncertainty of startup life. Across all services, my approach blends mindset work with concrete strategy, helping people trust their instincts, take meaningful action, and create impact that feels deeply aligned.
