Testimonials
"In a world where attention is at a premium and multitasking has become "de rigueur," getting people to focus has become increasingly difficult. One of the few exceptions may be great story telling, which still holds that special appeal that may break the siren song of other distractions. Within that backdrop, it is hard not to be impressed by the process of telling a good story, particularly when it leaves you with a lasting learning. Madelyn's story telling does just that – every time, with flair and a knack for the right balance between bringing the story to life, business relevance, and conciseness."
~ Roberto Evaristo, Manager Knowledge Management Program Office, 3M

"Before I heard you talk about, I always thought of boundaries as confining and limiting. I'm not good at limits. After your talk, I could see boundaries as enabling, as a tool to use to decide for myself where I will invest my energy. I saw them as being applicable to my goals, and it was liberating!"
~ Kelly Botsford, Senior HR Business Leader
"The Power of Storytelling" is still getting rave reviews! I have had several employees stop by my office to tell me how much they enjoyed it and to discuss the ideas you put forth."
~ Pamela S. Mitchell, Director, Defense Travel Management Office 2004
"Madelyn, I am always learning and gaining inspiration from you. Your Riding the Current workshop was my latest experience of spending time with you - and then immediately implementing all that I learned, to great effect! You helped me identify and prioritize what I want and need to know, and how to do it most effectively, and most joyfully. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge!"
~ Thaler Pekar, leading voice in the field of organizational narrative and story sharing.
