Allow me to Introduce Myself

Hello there, I’m Madeline.

Before becoming a communication coach, I spent years on the sidelines being interrupted and talked over by the loudest voices in the room. It was frustrating.

Conquering my fears of public speaking was one of the most transformative experiences of my adult life. It’s the reason I’m so passionate about teaching quiet leaders to speak up.

If listening is your secret superpower, it’s an incredibly powerful tool to tap into your audience.

You do not need to be an extrovert to be comfortable speaking in public. Being able to confidently communicate your ideas out loud is a skill, something you can learn just like baseball and knitting.

Before starting this business, I spent 15 years in the creative world. I ran the publicity department at a design book publisher and then spent a decade designing and building window displays and brand experiences.

If I had to sum up my career in 1 sentence, I’d say that it's been about messaging and creating experiences.

In fashion, I learned how to communicate a brand through the windows, how to get a message across in seconds, and how to invite people into the store.

With books, I became an expert at communicating their essence in a press release and inviting people to discover another world inside.

Now, I help other people communicate their stories and invite audiences into their world.

My clients have described me as a lifesaver and a secret weapon. I possess an uncanny ability to turn complex ideas into clear, concise and compelling presentations.

There is nothing more gratifying than seeing clients give presentations they never thought were possible. The confidence they discover on the other side goes far beyond a single presentation.

My clients have gone on to speak on panels, at conferences, and company meetings, and they've changed the conversation around topics like women’s health and sexual empowerment, ageism in advertising, and the diversity gap in financial services.

What conversation do you want to change?
