About Madelaine Allen

I was fortunate to have parents who encouraged me to “study what you love,” which led to an unconventional mix of qualifications in Maths, Business Studies, Art, and Psychology. These fields continue to reflect my passions for logic, leadership, creativity, and human connections.

After earning a degree in Event Management and passing on opportunities in the army or on the ski slopes, I discovered a deep passion for healthcare events and joined an exceptional international creative agency. During my time with the agency, I progressed from Producer to Client Director and eventually led a strategic planning department focused on HCP and Patient Engagement, ultimately stepping into a leadership role.

Today, I dedicate my expertise and time to supporting both emerging and diverse talent as well as established leaders, helping them authentically connect with employees and stakeholders.

My Passion and

Areas of Expertise

Live Events

Events have always captivated me with their beautiful blend of art and logic, merging emotions and information into unforgettable experiences. Collaborating with clients, creative directors, scientists, and technical teams, I've seen how live events reshape thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. With a 1st Degree in Events Management and 15 years as a Director, Facilitator, and Speaker Coach, I've worked globally across Leadership, Launch, Brand Planning, Ideation and Congress events.

Leadership Communications

As a leader in a dynamic international agency, I've partnered with CEOs, C-suite Executives, and Emerging Talent to drive meaningful change. Together, we've woven strategies to meet business objectives and foster collaboration and innovation. Approaching each collaboration with an open mind and heart, I've been privileged to shape businesses and guide individuals through their personal and professional growth.

Experience Design (XD) and Execution Planning

Experience Design is the core of creating impactful human-to-human and IRL brand interactions. Leading a talented team specializing in HCP and Patient Experience Design, we covered everything from research and insights to stakeholder alignment and delivery. We defined needs, designed pivotal moments, and executed comprehensive solutions across live events, communications in digital media and film, employee training and development and behavioural science measurements.

Neurodiversity inclusivity

As a leadership sponsor for our DE&I strategy in a 1000+ employee agency, I worked to foster an inclusive culture through policies, employee stories, and activations. Passionate about neurodiversity, I am pursuing certifications as a Level 3 Neurodiversity & Inclusion Trainer and a Level 5 Strengths-Based Autism Practitioner. I am dedicated to creating supportive environments and empowering neurodiverse talent to step into management and leadership roles.

VOLUNTEERING

Time is the greatest gift we have and can offer to others

I was so delighted to meet you and have the opportunity of such focused and personalised coaching from you on Friday. As a result, I feel I now have absolute clarity and a vision for our keynote presentation. I’m so grateful for the level of detail you gave us face to face throughout our day together. Now that I understand my contribution I feel I’ve found my place in the proceedings and it’s starting to flow for me. Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and giving me the opportunity to rebuild from scratch and also for all your support throughout our session.

Your support has helped me to share my personal story and deliver my message to a wider audience in a professional setting. I felt I was myself when I was speaking, and I had the skills to deliver my presentation in an impactful way. You gave me the belief, the framework and the professionalism.
