Putting a Face to the Name
I’m Meaghan, the Founder and Owner of OwnPerson Leadership Coaching & Branding. I'm passionate about helping people show up real—and become the kind of leaders others trust in a world that often rewards the opposite. As someone deeply attuned to the human experience, my superpower is helping people see—and be—their truest, most authentic selves. I don’t just help you find your truth—I help you express it in a way that builds trust, accelerates influence, and leaves a meaningful legacy. With over a decade of experience leading content marketing and brand strategy in B2B tech, I bring sharp strategic thinking and grounded, practical coaching to help leaders align who they are with how they show up.
At OwnPerson, I make the complex work of identity transformation feel clear, efficient, and actionable. As a certified leadership and emotional intelligence coach with a foundation in psychotherapy methodologies, I help you uncover your best self—and express it in the world in a way that works. At OwnPerson, I combine professional expertise with deep empathy to guide leaders in aligning their inner truth with their external presence. Together, we strip away the performative, honor your human essence, and build brands that feel as good as they perform. This isn’t about ego or algorithms—it’s about transforming how you see yourself so you can show up fully, build trust faster, and confidently reach your full potential.
Born from a moment of profound loss and clarity, OwnPerson was created as a call to live deliberately. My journey through motherhood and personal loss led me to rediscover my authentic self. After decades of building brands for others, I realized it was time to live out my own potential—guided by emotional intelligence, soul-centered strategy, and a deep commitment to truth.
Here’s an excerpt from a memoir I recently published titled Calling the Mom in My Head, which explains the sentiment behind the name.
One instance in my preteen days made for one of her most classic quotes. My two little best friends and our mothers all went to the Backstreet Boys concert together—a very exciting affair. On the ride there, in my friend’s very large family van (the kind with TVs and rows of seating), my mom responded to something I said with, “Meg, let me be my own person!” Everyone burst into laughter at her request, while respecting where she was coming from.
This phrase would continue to come up throughout the years as a joke that was also serious. She just wanted to be able to be her full, uninhibited self. I enjoyed her drive to express herself, and a lot of the ways that she did that. Like singing, or cheerfully saying hello to anyone she walked by. Now without her, I’m just emerging into my truly individual self as a grown up. My own person. I would give anything to still be with her, but I feel that she’s whispering to me to not be scared. She’s smiling as she sees me walking by, on my own courageous path.
