Madabel

Towards humanist and servant leadership

Our project

MadaBel is the result of an association between a Madagascan, Bakoliarisoa Rakotomalala, and a Belgian, Gérald de Woot de Trixhe. We have one major challenge in common: to offer humanist and servant leadership development for companies in Madagascar and Belgium.

What is humanist servant leadership ?

Are you a new manager, high-potential executive or top executive looking to develop your leadership skills? We can help you develop a humanist and servant leadership style.

  • Humanist

    We believe that people are at the heart of all political and economic initiatives. A good humanist leader possesses human skills and develops his relationships while respecting the following values.

  • Servant

    A servant leader puts himself at the service of his team to help them succeed. He positively influences those around him and helps them grow. This creates new leaders and multiplies leadership.

How we started

Certified trainers with the John Maxwell Team, we met through Maxwell Leadership. This organization, founded by John C. Maxwell, is world-renowned for its leadership development program and its school for professional coaches.

With so much in common, we decided to put our professional experience in the corporate world and our coaching skills to good use. Together, we have decided to share our knowledge with people in Madagascar and Belgium who wish to improve and develop their leadership skills.

In 2020, we joined forces and signed a partnership with Madagascar’s Tana Hotel. Since that year, we have been offering innovative, customized training workshops for Malagasy managers and business owners. These tailor-made training courses are designed for those wishing to improve their leadership skills, both personally and professionally.

What about today?

Since 2021, with the creation of MadaBel, we have been offering personalized coaching, training workshops and masterminds, aimed at neo-managers, high-potential executives and top executives in Madagascar and Belgium.
