"Linda and I first worked together as colleagues, and I've always known her to be an articulate, insightful thinker whom I could trust. On a daily basis I face complex business situations requiring a balance of decisive action and patience.
Working with Linda as a coach, I've developed practical skills to stay ahead of the stress curve, and choose appropriate responses - especially when the stakes are high. Three months into the coaching program I was promoted. My patience and awareness have increased. I'm listening at a deeper level. I spend less time irritated by others, and when I do get triggered, I re-center quickly. As an unexpected bonus, these new habits have spilled over into my personal life.
Any top performing executive who wishes to achieve greater success would do well to call Linda. I plan to call whenever I want candid, reliable, totally unbiased support."

"Linda brought heart, objectivity and insight to her work here at MasterCard. Her coaching and team-building provided the key to transforming a once-strained relationship between a vice president and the team he leads. The difference is night and day. Trust replaced uncertainty. Cooperation replaced criticism. Effectiveness grew.
One of
Linda's
greatest
assets
is the
number
of years
she has
worked
as an
executive.
She can
empathize
with her
coaching
clients,
who see
her as
a credible
partner
in their
development
as leaders.
Her approach
is grounded
in practical
experience.
I recommend
her without
hesitation."

“Linda has an amazing ability to uncover new insights.
She engaged me in a powerful coaching process that uncovered
possibilities
I was overlooking. The distinctions she shared turned into
new self-observations and useful practices which I have applied
to great advantage in everyday work situations. In essence,
Linda possesses the intellect and empathy of a natural born
coach and is a truly dear human being.“

“Linda is a clear and logical thinker, plus she brings
a lot of heart and intuition to her coaching. That is a rare
combination, and it has benefited my film project immensely.
The most challenging part of the documentary film I’ve
been shooting in the Amazon is fund-raising. Fortunately, after
applying Linda’s coaching in this area, the project received
two substantial donations.”

“Retiring from a highly visible business position raised
many unanticipated issues. Linda actively listened to my concerns
and suggested innovative ways to support my transition. Together
we formed a plan composed of manageable steps. Thankfully, she
did not let me off the hook for commitments I had made for taking
action. I greatly appreciated her consistent follow-up. She
helped me create a new and satisfying lifestyle.”

"Linda is an outstanding executive coach. She has the insight
and life experience to identify the underlying personal and
professional challenges that are holding you back. She helped
me develop a workable action plan to address fundamental issues,
and then she also created a supportive atmosphere for useful
guidance and feedback.”
“Linda taught me how to let go of ‘brain clutter’
and focus on what is important. She introduced me to a ‘world
of wonder’ that revealed new possibilities for my business.
Then, she prepared me to accept positive changes and big opportunities.
Linda provided me with tremendous insights and spiritual wisdom,
but because this guidance was also grounded and practical, my
effectiveness increased as my professional success grew.”
