ABOUT MADELEINE NANCE
Madeleine spent 16 years as a messaging strategist for more than 100 organizations in the nonprofit sector, where results depend on meaningful communication. Her work meant interviewing everyone from high-profile CEOs and philanthropists to people sharing the hardest moments of their lives. Those conversations taught her what makes someone comfortable enough to talk. She has since created her own methodology, Kind Persuasion™. Originally from Australia, Madeleine now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
