Why “Snorting Out Loud?” Because Margaret has an unforgettable snort when she laughs. And learning to embrace her snort-laughter rather than be embarrassed by it helps her tell the story of loving yourself for who you are.
Throughout this site and her stories, you may see the acronym “SNOL”. This is short for “Snorting Out Loud”. Margaret’s personal version of LOL. Whether you snort, chortle, cackle or giggle, we hope you will laugh along with us.
“Whether a technical talk or a motivational speech, Margaret Dawson brings magic to the stage!”

“When Margaret walks into the room her presence is felt immediately. Her level of energy and enthusiasm is contagious…”
Luc Villeneuve, President, Benchmark Corp
