About - Megan Moore Inc.

Meet Megan

I’m Megan Myra Moore, but you can call me Meg. You’re here, so something sparked your curiosity about me. Maybe you’re ready for change in your life or maybe you need some fun, loving support for your team or organization. Or maybe you just want to know more about me. Whatever the reason, I’m happy you’re here, and I want you to leave with a smile on your face, feeling inspired.

If you only want to know about my experience and qualifications, you can skip to the end. But I’m a big believer in story as the backbone of life and business, so I invite you to learn a little about mine.

With Megan Moore, Inc., I bring 20 years of experience to educate and inspire others to growth and change.

I am the youngest of five girls, and we moved a lot due to my dad’s job. I lived in four states before I turned five. Moving gave me experience with transition from an early age and a willingness to make new friends quickly. I believe it’s what ignited my love of creating change for the better.

We lived a middle class life until I was in middle school, when my parents went bankrupt. My mom took up the income earning reins in her late 50s, when, despite his best efforts, my dad couldn’t land another steady job. My mom had her nursing degree reinstated after a 40 year lapse.

By that time, I was the only daughter still living at home for two more moves, including a big one to Fort Walton Beach, Florida where we finally ended up in an apartment with the ugliest orange shag carpet. I mean really – I don’t think that carpet was ever in style! These changes and losses taught me resilience and more deeply instilled my belief that women are powerful human beings. My family’s financial struggles also gave me a healthy fear that, at any moment, I can be jobless and bankrupt. It’s something I hear in my clients, too, when they are up for a big a career change or running their own law firm or business. This fear can light a fire to achieve something more for yourself. Unfortunately, it can also stifle creativity and self-worth, getting in the way of committing to your dream.

One thing that has helped me get to where I am today: people asking me the right questions at the right time. Whenever I felt closed-off and couldn’t see a way forward, someone else would help me find a way. In 2004, when I didn’t get into law school the first time I applied and felt stuck in my job, someone asked, “Why can’t you just quit anyway?” Why not, indeed. That question lit a fire under me to reapply for law school while I traveled across the United States.

Four years later, I graduated with Great Distinction from McGeorge of School of Law, where I also met my husband. We moved to San Diego in September 2008, and have loved living and practicing law in this amazing city.

In my tenth year of practicing law, a business coach for attorneys helped me break free from a career at a law firm and open a successful solo practice. She asked me, “Why are you saying you can’t run your own practice?” We explored it, and it turns out, I was excellent at running my own practice. I knew I wanted to do that for other people, too.

These days you will find me running my own business, having fun in and around San Diego, and traveling outside of California when I can. That picture of me and the elephant is from a trip to Thailand to celebrate my tenth wedding anniversary. So fun! I also love a good cocktail, game nights, running, snuggling with my pets, reading, wine tasting, and relaxing at the beach.

My company, Megan Moore, Inc., combines my desire to help others, my ability to run my own business, my education, and my professional experience. I partner with people and organizations to help them find a way forward, create change, and achieve results. Check out my services to learn more.

If you have even a smidgen of desire to change something in your life or business, contact me today. I can’t wait to show you the power of the right question!
