Hey there!
I'm Madelyn.

As a personal branding strategist, I know that creating a brand that embodies and celebrates your unique advantages is essential to you being able to show up confidently and authentically. And that's what I love doing- helping career & business professionals define and refine their personal brands, so they advance with confidence.

My years as a master trainer, program developer, and etiquette professional allow me to gracefully guide you through my signature process, The Art of the Advantage, to help you define your brand and polish your presence. Because — honestly — there's nothing more invigorating than helping professionals like you show up with the edge they deserve.

We'll craft a cohesive brand strategy that grows with you and helps you show up as the most authentic and refined version of yourself.
