Anchored Intention Consulting LLC

Founder's Story

For most of my career, I was the person people relied on when things got complicated. I built a successful career across legal, operations, communications, and employee engagement, becoming skilled at helping others solve problems and find their way forward. But somewhere along the way, I realized I had become incredibly good at helping others find direction while quietly setting my own aside. From the outside, I was succeeding; inside, I was asking a different question: “What do I actually want?” Personal loss, followed by the unexpected end of my corporate career, gave me the space to answer it. I began to see that my unconventional career wasn’t a collection of unrelated experiences, but a through line that always led back to people. Anchored Intention Consulting grew from that realization: a coaching practice built to help others step back from the noise, recognize what they already know, and move forward with intention.

Business Description

Sometimes the person who looks like they have everything under control is the person asking the biggest questions behind the scenes.

Anchored Intention Consulting LLC is an executive, career, and professional development coaching practice for professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs who are ready to think differently about where they are, how they are showing up, and what they want to do next.

Founded by ICF Associate Certified Coach Margaret Jones, Anchored Intention is built on a simple belief: people often know more than they think they do. The challenge is creating enough space to hear themselves clearly, separate what they truly want from what they have been conditioned to pursue, and turn that understanding into action.

Through one-on-one coaching, clients have a confidential thought partner who will listen, ask the questions others may not ask, challenge assumptions, and help them look at situations from a different perspective. Coaching may focus on career direction and transition, leadership development, executive presence, communication, confidence, workplace challenges, decision-making, professional identity, entrepreneurship, goal setting, or simply getting unstuck when the next move isn’t obvious.

The practice draws on Margaret’s more than 25 years of experience across legal services, operations, project and program management, communications, employee engagement, and leadership. That non-linear background is an important part of the approach. Careers and lives rarely unfold in straight lines, and seemingly unrelated experiences often contain valuable clues about strengths, interests, and possibilities that have been overlooked.

Anchored Intention Consulting currently offers virtual individual coaching and is expanding into group coaching programs and practical career-development resources. Whether someone is stepping into leadership, reconsidering a career, building a business, or questioning a path that no longer fits, the goal is the same: create the space to think, build the confidence to decide, and develop the momentum to move forward with intention.
