People Skills Consulting - About People Skills Consulting

Madeleine established her business People Skills Consulting to promote excellence in workplace communication and culture.

Her roles include:

facilitator,
trainer,
coach,
professional supervisor and
most recently, author

Working in private practice for 26 years has allowed Madeleine to pursue her interest in the power of ‘soft skills’ in our changing world.

Her diverse range of clients provide a wonderful ‘grounding’ and a huge incentive to bring forward skills for our times. For example, skills for workplaces developing diversity and acknowledging that ‘Millennials’ are the new workforce, or when working as a parent educator in the screen age.

Since 2014 (until the Covid19 Pandemic) Madeleine has travelled to Bangladesh each year to lead Emotional Intelligence training for businesses and students.

Madeleine has been married to her husband Wayne for 32 years. Together they have raised three sons to independence (and gained the grey hairs to prove it!). They live in and enjoy the wonderful Wellington region of New Zealand.

Experience

After completing her social work degree at Massey University in 1979, Madeleine worked for 6 years as a social worker at Waikato Hospital and at the Psychiatric Unit of Wellington Hospital.

She went on to work in local government where she helped teams, managers and staff to manage difficult and stressful situations successfully.

Madeleine has recently joined the Board of Mother’s Network, an organisation that supports the woman behind the mother – see
