Greetings! My name is Lucille Maddalena. I am described as a doctor, coach, author, speaker, mom, and trailblazer in education and organizational dynamics. I was the first woman accepted into the Rutgers University labor studies program.While a doctoral candidate I visited job sites, recognizing the need for people moving from blue-collar careers. To support their success, I created a Transition to Management seminar; pioneering its acceptance enabled me to establish my business as Morris Business Group, Inc. This initiative quickly gained traction at US corporations, making me the inaugural woman to lead management seminars at major pharmaceutical and manufacturing entities. Evolving into a global program conducted in multiple languages, this endeavor empowered over 6,000 new leaders.Transitioning to a role as a Senior Consultant, I joined a national consulting company while maintaining my client base as Maddalena Transitions Management. Seeking healthy exercise and natural surroundings, I added to these responsibilities with an unexpected passion—six years of pre-dawn and weekend dog sledding. This unique hobby, alongside evolving client needs, prepared me for the transformative experience of motherhood. My canine companions transitioned from sports to cherished pets, while leaving me with a drive to connect with others, to work in harmony, and to maintain mental as well as physical health with activities outside of work. Rather than live to work, let's all seek ways to work to live. Find joy in the 'every day', celebrate the relationships, invest in the challenges, and take pride in the product of our endeavors.With 40 years of marriage and the joys of grandchildren, my husband and I share a mutual respect for each other's careers adn a deep devotion to family.I have forged many new trails in my career. For example, I was one of the first to enter the field of coaching and am honored to hold the distinction of being the first woman coach at six multinational corporations spanning the pharma, biotech, construction, and manufacturing industries. Today, as an Executive Coach operating under MTMCoach, I value the opportunity to guide leaders in demanding occupations, helping them navigate organizational nuances and develop robust networks in new or enhanced roles. Committed to fostering coaching cultures, I have assembled a global network of Leadership Coaches aligning development with corporate visions and missions.MOVING ON BY! is a workbook for self-development and group learning. Each chapter contains four sections to engage the reader and explore topics for leadership and team success.• TEAMWORK TALES FROM THE TRAIL Sled dog stories that take you on the trail and inspire acceptance of new challenges. • CASE STUDIES IN LEADERSHIP Examine change and transition to learn from struggles and successes while developing a career and maintaining a satisfying home life.• INSIGHT Subject matter experts explore why we work, when we play, how teams form, and the importance of connecting with others.• TASK: Apply your knowledge with tasks to complete or take away for contemplation such as determining your position on a sled dog team.It is the people I am fortunate to work with that inspire me. In the book, I have endeavored to share the joys and disappointments of leadership. The teamwork case studies were gathered at offices, factories, and construction sites, as well as when mushing dogs on snow-covered trails. As a result, I am committed to challenging readers to go ON BY! any obstacles that may block their trail. Read more about this authorRead less about this author
