Your work and life satisfy your need for meaning; they feel in balance and you are achieving what you want whilst finding yourself able to slow down and enjoy it more. Leading life this way is something we all deserve - and it’s not a pipe dream. Small achievable steps can lead to big changes.

The first step is simple: if you’d like work and life to feel more like this, book a call.

About me

My name is Madeleine Geach. I love food and restaurants. I’ve spent the more recent part of my career working as an award-winning senior leader in the bustling, entrepreneurial hospitality industry. In my work as a coach I create time away from this frenetic world for people to reflect and take considered action. In a world that just gets busier, I believe we need this space to think deeply now more than ever before. As well as being a certified coach, I’m a philosophy graduate and qualified teacher.

I mainly coach and develop restaurant founders and their senior teams. I am proud to have had my coaching work recognised and been named one of the most influential women in hospitality for the past two years by Code. I also work with private clients from all walks of life. When not thinking about food I swim outdoors in freezing waters and get warm again in saunas.

“How we spend our days is ... how we spend our lives.”

— Annie Dillard
