About
Margaret Schwartz (she/her)
Punamu'kwati'jk, Dartmouth Nova Scotia,
A natural connector and storyteller, Margaret believes that language has the power to hurt or to heal. And that healing is best actualized when loving words are reflected with informed action.
Margaret holds a degree in Public Relations from Mount Saint Vincent University, and most recently, a certificate in Trauma-Informed Approach to Creating Safe Space from the Radical School of Healing. With ten years of experience across the social impact sector and provincial government, Margaret recently launched her own conscious communications firm, Margaret Schwartz Consulting to bring stories of impact to life and prompt thoughtful communication strategies that deepen relationships across community. Recently, while working with Placemaking 4G, she supported the development of the online, 11-module self-led course, Foundations of Belonging in the Workplace, which was co-created with the Nova Scotia Career Development Association to introduce diversity, equity and inclusion as a fundamental approach for building safer workplace cultures. Margaret serves on boards and committees for both TEAM Work Cooperative, and the Macphee Centre for Creative Learning. You can also find Margaret infusing the arts through poetry with traditional strategy work.
What you can expect
Services are provided in the spirit of collaboration. This means as the owner of completed work, you have the agency to make changes and edits to ensure your brand reflects your voice.
Language evolves, and so will the ways in which we approach this work. Together, we are open to change and new ways of doing things that benefit the collective good.
We center authentic and ethical storytelling that preserves the integrity of people and deeply considers the needs, privacy and lived experience of those affected by systemic oppression.
All questions are valid and encouraged. The space in which we choose to work together is one that does not shame others for lack of social awareness, but invites the discomfort that comes with learning.

Debut Chapbook: Rain Only Goes Skin Deep
