Marty Munger in Fredericksburg, Texas

Marty Munger is the Co-Founder of Work Ethos, where she helps leaders build high-capacity teams by understanding how people are naturally designed to think, work, and contribute.

With a background in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and more than a decade of experience in recruiting, hiring, leadership development, and organizational consulting, Marty has worked with organizations ranging from entrepreneurial startups to established companies seeking to improve execution, leadership effectiveness, and team performance.

"Talented people struggle — not because they lack ability, but because they're operating outside their natural work capacities."

After years of seeing this pattern play out across organizations, she helped develop the Work Ethos frameworks — including Work Intelligence Index® and Work Style DNA™ — helping leaders understand the unique capacities people bring to work and how those capacities shape collaboration, decision-making, and execution.

Her work focuses on helping organizations move beyond personality assessments and instead understand the deeper patterns that determine how people create value at work. Known for making complex organizational psychology practical and engaging, Marty equips audiences with actionable strategies they can immediately apply to their teams.

Workshops, Events & Keynote

Speaking Topics

Two adaptable topics for workshops and events, plus Marty's signature keynote — each built to give audiences frameworks they can apply the moment they leave the room.

01
Workshop / Event Topic
Know Your Team
Why most leaders don't actually know the people they lead — and what it's costing them.

Every leader thinks they know their team. Few actually do. They know job titles, not how people think. They know skill sets, not what drains someone or draws out their best work. That gap is quietly costing organizations their best ideas, their retention, and their performance — and most leaders don't even know it's happening.

Marty teaches the concepts of Work Intelligence Index®, our proprietary IP that gives leaders a real, practical way to finally understand the people they lead instead of just managing them.

Audience Will Learn
The difference between managing people and actually knowing them The hidden cost of leading a team you don't understand The nine capacities that reveal how someone does their best work How to spot untapped potential already sitting on your team
02
Workshop / Event Topic
Align Your Team
Why talented teams still miss deadlines, stall on projects, and burn out — and what actually fixes it.

Most execution problems get blamed on the wrong things — not enough talent, not enough hustle, not enough accountability. But the real cause is usually simpler: people are being asked to work in ways that don't match how they're naturally wired to execute. A decisive person gets buried in process. A detail-driven person gets rushed past quality. A steady operator gets thrown into constant chaos. The result is teams that look capable on paper but consistently underdeliver in practice.

Marty gives leaders a practical way to align roles, expectations, and workflows to how their people actually execute, so teams can stop quietly working against themselves.

Audience Will Learn
Why execution problems are usually a design problem, not a discipline problem The three execution styles: Facilitator, Innovator, Navigator How misalignment quietly creates burnout and missed deadlines Superpower, Competency & Life-Drainer Zones
03
Anchored in Purpose
How to notice, reinforce, and protect the work that is meaningful to you.

Purpose isn't something you discover once — it's something you intentionally reinforce throughout your career. And it isn't abstract: purpose is what happens when your inner wiring is aligned with your work. When the natural capacities that make up your Work Intelligence Index® — how you think, connect, and act — are actually being used the way they're designed to be used, that alignment is purpose.

This keynote connects the dots back to Work Intelligence Index®, helping leaders recognize when that alignment is happening, notice the moments that strengthen it, and build practices that protect it — even during seasons of stress, uncertainty, and change.

Audience Will Learn
What purpose actually is — and isn't How purpose is the felt experience of Work Intelligence Index® alignment How to recognize purpose in real time How passions and energizers reinforce purpose Why purpose fades, and how to protect it Practices that reinforce meaningful work

Testimonials

Feedback from teams and organizers Marty has worked with.

"
Marty presented the results from our assessments and brought a thoughtful, structured approach to the session. She took the time to understand our team culture and tailor her insights accordingly — creating a custom Team Communication Matrix that sparked meaningful conversations and gave us a practical framework to navigate differences and build a stronger team dynamic. I appreciated the direct and straightforward solutions she provided — I walked away with the "how to" I could immediately implement in how I communicate with and guide each person on my team.
