Doyenne of DEI
Madeline McQueen is an outstanding speaker, executive coach and host who has the ability to empower and encourage her audiences to be their very best.
When Madeline McQueen takes the stage, she transforms the atmosphere with her authentic energy and confidence, giving her audience permission to be unapologetically themselves. With a career spanning over 35 years, Madeline has inspired and empowered teams at renowned brands like Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy, Google, SKY, and Nike. As a seasoned speaker, coach, and host, her presence electrifies any room she steps into.
Madeline’s dynamic career journey is built on personal and professional triumphs, including overcoming adversity in her own life. Her self-development journey began after facing significant personal challenges in a single year – a miscarriage, her husband’s business collapse, and selling their home. This period of hardship shaped her coaching methodology and commitment to empowering others.
Having led multi-million-pound businesses, closed high-value deals, and experienced the highs and lows of corporate life, Madeline brings a wealth of experience and insight to her speaking engagements.
With a deep belief that a lack of confidence holds people back in both their personal and professional lives, Madeline’s mission is to help others build self-worth, clarity, and leadership skills. Through her vibrant storytelling, she equips her audience with the tools to unlock their potential.
Madeline’s impact extends beyond the stage. She and her husband David are featured in Forbes, serve as Brand Ambassadors for Palmers, and are founders of Q Squared, an initiative focused on empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders.
A multi-award-winning Executive Coach and TEDx speaker, Madeline captivates audiences with her honesty, humor, and infectious energy. Whether you need an empowering keynote speaker, an inspiring coach, or a dynamic conference host, Madeline McQueen brings the perfect blend of knowledge, passion, and practicality to every event.
