LEARN TO RUN THE ROOM

Get the weekly briefing on making it easy to move decisions that matter.


IF IT'S NOT MOVING, YOU HAVEN'T MADE IT EASY ENOUGH.

Not easy to dismiss. Not easy to ignore. Not easy to choose the old way over the new one.That's true whether you're trying to get in the room, run what happens inside it, or change what institutions do after you leave.Decisions happen on three levels. Start where you are.

Individual → Interpersonal → Institutional

INDIVIDUAL

Make it Land

If people don't immediately get what you do and why it matters, you're not in the room where decisions happen.Make it Land gives you positioning that lands in seconds.

INTERPERSONAL

Influence Masterclass

Agreement is easy. It costs nothing in the moment.This masterclass teaches you to read what's actually happening in a room — and make it easier for people to move than to stall.

INSTITUTIONAL

Adoption Architecture

Most standards fail not because they're wrong — but because no one made adoption easier than the status quo.I work with coalitions and institutions to design that pathway: who must move, what must change, and how the new practice becomes the default.

About Madeleine

I've spent my career on one problem: why good ideas don't move — and how to fix that.As CEO of Community Health Impact Coalition, I've aligned 100+ organizations to embed community health workers into national health systems across 60 countries. Not through persuasion. Through design.Run the Room is where I teach those mechanics — from making your own value legible, to running rooms that produce real decisions, to architecting institutional adoption at scale.If it's not moving, we haven't made it easy enough yet.
