The Method
The POWER PLAYMethod™
A framework for living intentionally, leading consciously, and recognizing possibility — even when life doesn't unfold according to plan.
Where It Begins
What if the disruption was the direction?
The wound is the place where the light enters you.
— Rumi
The POWER PLAY Method™ was born from a simple but radical observation: the people who navigate adversity most effectively are not the ones who avoid it, deny it, or simply endure it. They are the ones who learn to ask a different question.
Not just "Why is this happening to me?" — but "What can I do with this?" That shift in question changes everything. It moves you from victim to agent. From stuck to strategic. From surviving to intentional.
The Philosophy
Ancient wisdom. Modern framework.
Rumi's poetry is not abstract comfort. It is a practical philosophy of transformation — the idea that what we label as loss, failure, or wrong turn may actually be an invitation. The POWER PLAY Method™ takes that philosophy seriously and builds a structured, actionable framework around it. Not toxic positivity. Not spiritual bypassing. A rigorous, honest engagement with what life hands you — and a disciplined practice of asking what it makes possible.
The Four Pillars
PURPOSE · PERSPECTIVE · POSSIBILITY · POWER
PURPOSE
What matters?
Before you can make a power play, you have to know what you're playing for. Purpose is the anchor — the values, commitments, and vision that remain constant even when circumstances change. Without it, every disruption is just chaos. With it, every disruption becomes navigable.
PERSPECTIVE
What else could this mean?
The story you tell about an event determines what you can do with it. Perspective is not about pretending something doesn't hurt — it's about refusing to let the first interpretation be the final one. It's the practice of holding multiple frames simultaneously and choosing the one that opens doors rather than closes them.
POSSIBILITY
What becomes possible from here?
Once you've anchored in purpose and expanded your perspective, possibility becomes visible. Not manufactured optimism — real, grounded possibility that emerges from honest assessment of where you are and what you have. This is where strategy begins. Where reinvention takes shape. Where the unexpected turn becomes the unexpected advantage.
POWER
What will I choose to do next?
Power is not force. It is agency — the deliberate, intentional exercise of choice. The POWER PLAY is the moment you stop reacting and start choosing. It is the decision to act from your values, toward your vision, with full awareness of what you're doing and why. That is where transformation becomes real.
Where It Works
The Method meets you where you are.
Keynotes and Workshops
Bring The POWER PLAY Method™ to life at your next event! Whether speaking to business leaders, groups, professionals, students, or individuals navigating change, the message begins with a simple idea: the most powerful next move is rarely about controlling everything around us. It is about understanding what matters, recognizing how we influence others, aligning our actions with our values, and taking responsibility for the part only we can P.L.A.Y. Purpose asks what truly matters. Leadership considers how we influence others. Alignment brings our values and actions into focus. And "YOU" is the reminder that no matter what circumstances present themselves, the next move ultimately begins within our personal power. Through storytelling, research, humor, and real-world experience, Meg uses PLAY to help audiences see disruption differently, recognize possibility sooner, and leave with a practical framework for choosing what comes next.
Executive Coaching
Executive consulting that applies the Method to organizational culture, leadership development, and conscious business practices. Leadership is often less about having every answer and more about making thoughtful decisions in moments of pressure, uncertainty, and change. Through executive and leadership coaching, the Method helps leaders clarify purpose, strengthen communication, align decisions with values, and become more intentional about the way they influence people and culture. It creates space to examine not only what a leader is trying to accomplish, but how they are showing up while accomplishing it. Using the POWER PLAY Method™ — leaders are challenged to think more consciously about the role they play in shaping trust, engagement, performance, and organizational direction. Because the strongest leaders do more than react to the moment... They recognize the play in front of them—and choose their next move with purpose.
Trial & jury consulting and witness preparation
Litigation is filled with moments no one can fully control—unexpected testimony, difficult facts, emotional witnesses, juror reactions, and shifting courtroom dynamics. The work is not to pretend those moments do not exist, but to recognize the opportunity within them. And what better way to prepare for your most impactful trials than by bringing a consultant on board who's been in your shoes... a trial attorney with 25 years of experience. By combining perspective, communication, human behavior, and intentional response, the POWER PLAY Method™ helps witnesses present with clarity and credibility, helps trial teams understand how jurors may interpret the story being told, and helps lawyers identify the strongest strategic move when the case does not unfold exactly as planned. In trial, as in life, power often comes from seeing the play differently—and choosing the next move with purpose.
Life Coaching
For anyone standing at a crossroads — facing a diagnosis, a loss, a pivot, or simply the question of what they're building and why. Individual and group coaching is available for people navigating change, reinvention, career transitions, and what's next. The POWER PLAY Method™ is also a framework for navigating the moments in life when the plan changes, the path feels unclear, or you simply know something needs to shift. Through personal coaching, the Method helps individuals reconnect with what matters, challenge the stories they may be telling themselves, recognize new possibilities, and make decisions that feel more aligned with who they are and where they want to go... Because personal power is not about having life go exactly as planned. It is about recognizing what the moment is asking of you—and choosing how you want to move forward.
