Get out of the weeds.
And into the lead.

Executive leadership coaching for high-achieving mid-level professionals with an athletic background who want to go from overwhelmed managers to confident, strategic leaders so they can drive results, champion their teams, and still have energy for what really matters.

The Playbook That Got You Here Won’t Get You There

You’ve always succeeded by pushing harder, doing more, and holding yourself to the highest standards.

But now, with bigger responsibilities, a growing team, and a growing life,
that approach is hitting its limits:

  • You're in execution mode 24/7

  • You’re unsure of how to get the best out of your team

  • Strategic priorities keep slipping

  • You can’t find the energy, or time, for what matters beyond the job

  • You're exhausted—and it’s starting to show

It’s time to start owning your edge.

The habits that made you a standout as an athlete and early-career high performer—relentless effort, pushing through, taking it all on—can backfire in senior leadership. Especially when you want to protect your time outside of the office, for yourself and your family.

That’s why I built the Performance Evolution Framework.
It’s not about grinding harder. It’s about competing smarter.

  • Master Yourself

  • Champion Your Team

  • Win the Long Game

If you're stuck in the weeds, stretched thin, or unsure how to lead at the next level, this framework will change the game.

MDT Leadership:
Built for Leaders Who Know How to Compete 

You’ve built your success on drive, discipline, and personal ownership. But as your scope expands, your old playbook starts to break down.

I’m Madeline Davis Tully—certified executive leadership coach and a former Division I national champion coach and athlete. I spent nearly two decades in high-performance environments—first as an All-America and national team rower, then as a DI head coach helping teams win on the water and off.

I bring that same intensity and clarity to coaching ambitious, athletic corporate leaders who are navigating the pressure and complexity of executive leadership and looking for more. I partner with high-achieving competitors in high-stakes leadership positions to evolve the mindset and strategy it takes to succeed at the next level—without losing themselves in the process.

My coaching is grounded in deep expertise in performance psychology and strategic leadership, built with the elite athlete mindset and refined through real-world executive coaching.
