You have spent years being brilliant in rooms that were not built for you. Navigating systems designed by people who often look nothing like you. Delivering at a level that should be impossible to ignore, and somehow still being overlooked, underpaid and/or underestimated.
You are not the problem. You never were.
But somewhere along the way, you started making yourself smaller to survive the space. Filtering your instincts, softening your edges, doing twice the work for half the credit, and telling yourself that was just how it was.
It isn’t! And I’m not the kind of person to let you keep telling yourself it is.

I’m not a coach who hands you a framework and a follow-up email – for me, coaching is just one of the tools I use to support you. I am the woman who holds up the mirror, tells you the truth with love, and stays beside you while you act on it. I have done this across hundreds of coaching sessions, with women at Google, Nike, Meta, Sky, Natixis, Man and some of the world’s most demanding organisations. The results speak for themselves. The women speak for themselves.
When you work with me, you do not become a different person. You become more of who you already are. Unapologetically. Unstoppably.


My career spans over 40 years. I’m an executive coach, speaker, trainer, and host with over 20 years of experience working with women in leadership, ranging from Director to C-Suite. I have worked with leaders at brands you know and some you don’t.
What makes me different is not my CV. It is what happens in the room. I see women clearly, often before they can see themselves. I tell them the truth about who they are, what they are carrying, and what it will actually take to get where they want to go. I challenge them without destabilising them. I hold them with warmth and an absolute refusal to let them settle.
My clients do not leave our sessions inspired; they leave activated. There is a difference, and once you feel it, you will never go back.

Radical Truth-Telling with Love
I shine the mirror on who you are so you can see it yourself. I don’t deal in flattery, just activation. This changes everything, because most women have never had someone name their power out loud and mean it.
Fortification Over Triggering
Every conversation is designed to strengthen you, not destabilise you. I build backbones of steel. Clients trust me with their most vulnerable moments and challenges; they are built upon, not weaponised.
The Full-Spectrum Lens
I hold the strategic and the personal in the same hand. We explore career goals and whole-life vision. Professional power and who you actually are, because you cannot build a sustainable career on a fractured foundation.

It’s easy to get myopically focused on work. Coaching with Madeline gave me the space to reflect on my dreams and goals, celebrate my professional achievements, and otherwise broaden my thinking as a mid-career leader

Madeline has helped me unlock huge potential for myself, opening up a new and ever-expanding path. She is that inner angel voice that you need sitting on your shoulder. Because when she does you find yourself embracing greater possibilities that have been staring you in the face!

…her advice, mentoring, coaching & guidance alongside her strength, warmth and authenticity was an incredible source of support for me. Her words of wisdom were too many to mention here but one of my favourites was ‘operate in your genius’. Everyone needs a Madeline McQueen in their life!
“Madeline’s sessions are utterly unique. She brings clarity, focus and a wealth of experience in a way that produces numerous immediate ‘aha’ moments with a net positive impact on your goals and your life. I’d had coaching before, but nothing like this. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

If you want a coach who is truly dedicated to helping to build your confidence from a place of substance and make real changes in your approach to work and life, she is right up your street.
We all have times when we are not so confident. Madeline offered an opportunity to refocus, reset and provide insights that are not typically accessible in working life.
I love every moment of putting what I have learnt into practice, leaning with pride into my own gifts and magnificence.
Would I recommend Madeleine? Absolutely!

If ever in doubt of your ability to achieve the things you want to achieve, Madeline is skilled in helping you to both see and believe in your strengths and ability to succeed in all areas of personal and career goals. I highly recommend Madeline for career coaching and personal development.

Self-investment is key and my session with Madeline is one investment that I know ROI is unquantifiable, thank you Madeline, The Magnificent!
Activation Access gives you a bank of hours to use exactly when your leadership life demands it. Not fixed monthly sessions that happen whether you need them or not. Direct access to Madeline in the format that you need, at the pace, and in the moments that actually matter.
If you are a woman in senior or emerging leadership who is done waiting, done filtering yourself, done making yourself smaller so other people feel bigger – this is where it changes.
Come and have a conversation with me. Tell me where you are. I will tell you honestly where I think we can go together, and which container is right for you right now.
Full transparency, I am highly selective about who I work with, and you should be selective too. The discovery call is 30 minutes, completely without pressure, and genuinely useful whether we work together or not.
But if we are the right fit? You will feel it in the first ten minutes.
