Blythe McGarvie Biography

Blythe J. McGarvie has operated profitable business units and managed employees in business endeavors from China to Chile, France to Finland. An accomplished author and business thought leader, she was also a pioneering CFO, and in 1995, was one of only ten female CFOs in the Fortune 500. Renowned for her perspective on leadership, consumer markets, and worldwide economic trends, she brings energy and enthusiasm to her speeches, giving her audiences courage to thrive in trying times and to achieve financial success.

McGarvie's best-selling book, "Shaking the Globe: Courageous Decision-Making in a Changing World," provides entrepreneurs and executives with research and action ideas to overcome obstacles in a competitive and interconnected world. In the book, she explains that Western business leaders must develop the courage to enter new cultures not as people holding an attitude of cultural or moral superiority, but with a perspective of common interest and mutual success. McGarvie also authored "Fit In Stand Out: Mastering the FISO Factor: The Key to Leadership Effectiveness in Business and Life," which has reached wide distribution in the U.S. and was published outside the US in Spanish, Indian, and Russian language versions.

McGarvie has served on several corporate boards, including Accenture, Pepsi Bottling Group, The Travelers Companies, and Viacom, enhancing her reputation in corporate governance. She currently serves on the boards of Apple Hospitality REIT, Sonoco, LKQ, and privately-held Wawa. In 2018, she was a Commissioner for the NACD’s Blue Ribbon Commission initiative focused on adaptive governance, and she was honored as one of the Most Influential Directors by Women Inc. In 2019, she earned the CERT Certificate in Cybersecurity Oversight, reflecting her commitment to leadership in evolving business challenges.

Since January 2003, McGarvie has been CEO and founder of LIF Group, offering a global perspective for clients seeking profitable growth and providing leadership seminars for corporate and academic groups. She has a pulse on developing leaders and responding effectively to changing situations as a result of her extensive corporate experience. McGarvie was recently honored as one of the Most Influential People in Corporate Governance and in the Boardroom by Directorship, and in December 2009, she received an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Old Dominion University.

BOOK Blythe McGarvie

Blythe McGarvie Speaking Topics

Courageous Decision-Making.

Many Americans fear that the global economy will cost them their jobs and purchasing power and that, in turn, will force a reconsideration of American values. It is one thing to lose jobs to Indochina because employers located there can hire 14-year old children and women cheaply, provide no health care, avoid safe workplace standards, hire and fire at will, and face no liability for environmental depredation. Yet, it is another to consider a twenty-first century America that must scale back its labor practices and deregulate to make America competitive once again. These fears are based on legitimate concerns but McGarvie's goal is to lessen them and the reactionary protectionist policies they engender, by demonstrating that global business changes offers opportunities to Americans. At this seminar, McGarvie shows the six stops to connect the globe in a changing world; illustrates how business can redefine success in an interconnected world; and how to make better decisions by using untapped resources and fostering the entrepreneurial spirit in organizations of any size.
Financial Acuity Matters

Finance is the language of business, in any industry. You can turn opportunity into strategic insight if you have financial acuity. Clearly, this is an under-developed skill given the financial scandals and disruptions of recent times. Keying into Google the phrase "financial scandals" yields 175,000 hits; the word "bankruptcies" yields 500,000 hits; and "accounting fraud" yields nearly 1 million hits. You must know what attributes define a company that will sustain profitable growth and be a great place to invest your time or your money. You must develop your own financial acuity even if your job is in marketing, operations, sales, or human resources if you want to thrive in business today. At this seminar, McGarvie describes:
```
the three steps for building your fluency in the language of finance in order to excel in your organization and help it meet its financial targets;
habits of financially acute leaders that drive organizational growth and profits;
how mastering this skill builds confidence and strategic insight to help you meet your personal objectives and grow your business.
```

Global Citizenship: Succeeding in a New Culture.

Two-thirds of the world's purchasing power and 95% of the world's consumers reside outside US national borders. The top 25 US companies made 43% of their revenues abroad in 2004. Leaders must learn how to take advantage of this increasing globalization. Understanding the truth about American jobs and who are the business winners and losers will allow executives to navigate their careers and their company. Blythe McGarvie shows business leaders:

how to transcend your biases and prepare for the new world in order to keep their business growing and retain employees who will help guide them through new territory to profitable success;
strategies to develop transformational global leadership skills in order to grow their business and to establish beachheads for future growth opportunities;
how to stimulate coordination and cooperation across national borders in order to create a lasting and rewarding relationship with people who will grow their business as if it were their own.
