Greetings! My name is Dr. Lucille Maddalena. I am described as a coach, author, speaker, and trailblazer in education and organizational dynamics. She was the first woman accepted into the Rutgers University labor studies program.
While a doctoral candidate I visited job sites, recognizing the need for people moving from blue-collar careers. To support their success, I created a Transition to Management seminar; pioneering its acceptance enabled me to establish my business as Morris Business Group, Inc. This initiative quickly gained traction at US corporations, making me the inaugural woman to lead management seminars at major pharmaceutical and manufacturing entities. Evolving into a global program conducted in multiple languages, this endeavor empowered over 6,000 new leaders.
Transitioning to a role as a Senior Consultant, I joined a national consulting company while maintaining my client base as Maddalena Transitions Management. Seeking healthy exercise and natural surroundings, I added to these responsibilities with an unexpected passion—six years of pre-dawn and weekend dog sledding. This unique hobby, alongside evolving client needs, prepared me for the transformative experience of motherhood. My canine companions transitioned from sports to cherished pets, while leaving me with a drive to connect with others, to work in harmony, and to maintain mental as well as physical health with activities outside of work.
The leadership and teamwork lessons learned on the trail inspired me to overcome my hiatus of publishing a book to produce MOVING ON BY! Harnessing my sled dog team’s instinct to win! It will challenge you to go “ON BY!” obstacles, presenting “Tales From The Trail” to introduce “Teamwork and Leadership Case Studies” followed by “Insight” to assess the scenarios, and “Tasks” such as identifying where you would run on a dog sled team.
Today, as an Executive Coach operating under MTMCoach, I am honored to hold the distinction of being the first woman coach at six multinational corporations spanning the pharma, biotech, construction, and manufacturing industries. I value the opportunity to guide leaders in demanding occupations, helping them navigate organizational nuances and develop robust networks in new or enhanced roles. Committed to fostering coaching cultures, I have assembled a global network of Leadership Coaches aligning development with corporate visions and missions.
With 40 years of marriage and the joys of grandchildren, my husband and I share a mutual respect for each other’s careers and a deep devotion to family. Visit my website mtmcoach.com to see a video I prepared describing my work.
