What Your Couch Has to Do With Communication

If you want to change your experience, change your thinking.

It’s like moving the furniture.

You can have all the same pieces but if you move the couch, the entire room looks different.

That’s what it’s like when you change the thoughts in your head.

Your entire perspective shifts and everything looks different.

That’s why mindset is one of the 5 foundational skills in the C.A.L.M.S. framework to communication.

And that’s why I moved my furniture 5 times during the pandemic. (You can read about it my adventures in rearranging here).

You can have all the strategies in the world, but if you don’t change your thinking, not much else is going to change.

It’s the reason so many public speaking programs miss the mark.

It’s the reason you can have the perfect elevator pitch but you don't make any connections.

It's the reason you can be well rehearsed but your presentation falls flat.

Hi, I’m Madeline.

I help quiet leaders speak up in a world of loud talkers and I help organizations articulate their vision in clear, concise messaging.

I've been called a lifesaver and a secret weapon and my superpower is listening. I can take all the ideas in your head and put them together in a way that makes sense and tastes good to other people.
