Working with Madeleine has been a gift.
Despite a 20-year age gap between us, Madeleine brought wisdom and perspective that served as a mirror, helping me see myself and my business with new clarity. Through our sessions, I was able to:
Reflect deeply on my business direction while staying true to my core values
Define what’s in scope and out of scope which is crucial for building something sustainable
Explore the idea of “soft success” rather than grinding toward achievement
Build a foundation for how I want my business to operate and feel
The beauty of coaching isn’t about the coach having all the answers. It’s about creating the conditions for you to discover your own. Madeleine’s skill in holding that reflective space allowed me to dive deep into myself and emerge with greater clarity about the path forward.

An incredibly valuable experience
Working with Madeleine has been an incredibly valuable experience. Her unique blend of expertise, insight, and personalized approach empowered me to seek solutions within and feel confident in my own decision making. From our very first session, Madeleine took the time to truly understand my goals, challenges, and aspirations. She didn't just offer generic advice; instead, she offered personalized questions that led me to greater personal inquiry. Thanks to Madeleine, I feel more motivated and in-line with my personal values when seeking opportunities and overcoming challenges. I can wholeheartedly say that I am grateful for her coaching and would recommend her services to others as well.

Insightful perspectives
I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Madeleine for over half a year. Madeleine has advanced educational training, and she also has a diverse personal and professional background, which she brings to her role as a coach. Madeleine is an active listener. I believe that Madeleine’s perspectives are insightful and worthy of attention and consideration. As a lawyer and a successful business owner, Madeleine has not only assisted me immensely with enhancing my professional life, but she has also caused me to reflect on all aspects of my life, making me a more well rounded and happier person. It has been my honour to work with Madeleine and I look forward to engaging her services in the years to come.

Empowering
My time with Madeleine has been an opportunity to self-reflect on my priorities. After each session, I walked out with insightful ideas that I processed further during the days after I met with Madeleine. I have been able to assess my strengths and align my thoughts to introduce myself better [...] Madeleine helped me develop reminders (or visuals) to keep myself on track and constantly acknowledge moments when I was very confident to use them on those occasions when I am doubting myself. Madeleine has also been great in empowering me [...] and recognize my personal needs and the value I bring to the table.

Thought-provoking and nonjudgmental
In our first meeting, she was very warm and easy to talk with. Throughout my journey with her, I enjoyed the thought-provoking nature of her coaching, and the nonjudgmental way she actively listened to my plight. I called her my human journal, as I could explore my ingrained beliefs without judgment and work through them in an insightful and healing way.

The greatest decision I took at the beginning of the year
Joining this program was truly the greatest decision I took at the beginning of the year. It pushed me to self-reflect and be confident about decisions I have taken...It was incredible to have other parents in the group as their stories were an inspiration and made me realize I was not the only one feeling a certain way... I truly can’t recommend this enough.

Helping you move the needle in a real, lasting way
Working with Madeleine has been truly magical. She has a rare ability to create a safe, thoughtful space where you immediately feel seen, supported, and understood. Her presence is gentle but powerful—in her group sessions she brings women together in a way that feels both intentional and effortless, fostering a sense of community that stays with you long after each session ends.
What I appreciate most is her empathy. She listens deeply, without judgment, and seems to know exactly when to offer encouragement and when to push you with a question that makes you pause, reflect, and go deep. Her thought-provoking questions and engaging activities helped me go deeper more effectively than I could ever have on my own, gaining the clarity I was looking for from within.
Every experience with her felt purposeful. She has a gift for helping you “move the needle” in a real, lasting way—shifts that aren’t just inspiring in the moment, but truly impactful in your day-to-day life.
If you’re looking for a coach who holds space with compassion, brings out the best in people, and isn’t afraid to go deep and push you, I couldn’t recommend Madeleine more.

Highly recommmended
I highly recommend Madeleine Natale as a professional coach. I participated in a pilot group project and can already see how effective Madeleine is and will be in guiding conversations and explorations about personal and professional challenges. Rather than prescribing advice, she encourages you to consider your own circumstances and craft your own advice to yourself. Working with Madeleine was an excellent step in helping me explore goals within my own career.
Wonderful opportunity to pause
This was a wonderful opportunity to pause in the busy-ness of the world of being a mom and a professional, and have someone shine a bit of a spotlight on me and some of the opportunities that are there for me if I were to stop and see things a little differently. Madeleine is excellent at guiding conversations and encouraging participants to think about things differently, while also able to be empathetic personally about the challenges and situations we find ourselves in. It’s true, you do get out of these opportunities what you put in and I recommend you be prepared to set aside time outside of the sessions to do the work and self reflection, but if you can put in the time there is likely to be at least one ah-ha moment in this!
Knowledgeable and supportive
Madeleine is a very knowledgeable and supportive coach, and she guided the discussions in a way that was both practical and empathetic, ensuring everyone felt heard and empowered. The combination of a strong community and expert guidance made these sessions an invaluable resource.
A sense of community
As a first time mum, I was struggling and feeling overwhelmed and alone in my journey, but with this coaching and meeting others in similar situations, it helped me ask for help from my loved ones and gave me a sense of community where I realized that I am not alone.
Amazing facilitator
Madeleine is an amazing facilitator who understands how to facilitate groups and help participants by providing the right resources.
