Who is she?
Through a career journey of 45 years, starting with chemistry in pharmaceutical R&D, Madhu has worked for FTSE 100 pharmaceuticals in many roles and in different countries, with a final role working on significant Mergers & Acquisitions over the last 10 years.
She gained her PhD in Chemistry (through her investigation into fluoride chemistry), executive coaching and project management qualifications and experience while working at GSK. She has also been a university lecturer and supervised MSc and PhDs. Her experience is global, cross cultural and often on a large scale.
This has led her to develop a deep appreciation of the value of the individual and a real understanding of how outstanding results come when people work together, are free and confident to bring their best.
Embarkment
As Madhu’s work in developing new medicines progressed, she made the link between scientific research and the ability to bring hope to others. This led to a holistic view of how people encounter and embrace experiences of life as well as translate them into their ability to live life to the full. Into this rounded view of people, Madhu brings coaching and mentoring as another powerful way to enable people to enhance their performance in whatever sphere of life, and learn how to become the very best they can be. With the curiosity of a scientist and the compassion of a yoga teacher, she helps people to move from inward spirals of doubt and low confidence to an openness; allowing creative exploration, and leading to excitement about turning their vision into action. Today, Madhu brings together the whole her own divergent career and life experience, combined with her qualifications and a generous spirit of helping others along their life and career journeys.
Focus
She has been described as "responsive and flexible, adapting to my needs and making sure she gave the right support at the right moments. Striking the balance between enabling me to find my own answers and nudging me when needed, in the right direction. Her sessions left me with a great sense of accomplishment.”
Her love of travelling to experience other cultures and civilisations, along with her joy in gardening are her other loves.
Madhu focuses on results for people including:
• Creating confidence in career transformation, transition and progression
• Realising leadership potential
• Providing support, accountability and tools to enable changes in wellbeing, performance and relationships that people are looking for
• Developing sustainable calm, confidence and happiness through positive mindset tools
• Articulating what people are feeling to bring clarity to their thinking and focus on future direction
