Full Bio
Dr. Marie Cosgrove is a Resilience Expert, International Speaker, and Entrepreneur. Dr. Cosgrove has made a fortune and a life out of beating the odds and overcoming the opinions of experts.
In her latest best-selling book "Greater Fortune: Essential Lessons from the Entrepreneur Who Bought the Company That Fired Her" Marie shares with her readers the power of focus and how to leverage their resilience to build a fortune. Peaking at just 5 feet tall, this Latina Female had no idea she was about to lead an industry; no one would have bet on her and that is where her story flourishes.
Just over a decade ago, Dr. Cosgrove found herself as many people do, a single mother of four children freshly fired from her 'JOB'. The reason she was fired will astonish you, and yet it happens more than we know, Dr. Cosgrove was fired from her sales position because she made too much money in commissions. Instead of being rewarded and edified, she was FIRED without warning or compensation. Imagine a moment when being too good at your job puts your job and family at risk.
Dr. Cosgrove never became bitter; she did not have the time. Instead, she became "Resilient". Marie founded her own company in the highly coveted and male-dominated medical device niche. Developing diagnostic products & protocols to help clinicians diagnose risk for stroke, heart attacks, diabetes, and other life-threatening biomarkers, was a BIG undertaking. Obtaining FDA Clearance was an incredible hurdle, and Dr. Cosgrove achieved both.
She scaled her business and diluted her competitors. Marie later went back to the company that fired her and BOUGHT THEM (now the doctor's that she worked for are working with her).
Of course, skeptics and competitors announced she would bankrupt the company within six months. Resilience is her foundation; Leadership is Dr. Cosgrove's calling.
Nearly a decade later, balanceback(TM) is the world's leader in fall prevention, concussions, brain and balance disorder diagnostic and treatment devices. Clients including Dartmouth, Yale, Vanderbilt, University of Miami, VA Hospitals, and Air Force Bases nationally, as well as major hospitals and universities worldwide, have successfully treated over 1.5 million patients to date.
Her "Resilient Leader" keynote, impacts thousands of Professionals, Students, and Entrepreneurs Worldwide.
Having Dr. Marie Cosgrove for your next corporate Keynote is the best decision you can make.
