The Linda Effect
As a funny, motivational speaker, Linda has been researching, speaking, and writing about change resilience at work and at home for over 30 years. She has created some simple and powerful tools to bring people out of the state of overwhelm and exhaustion we find ourselves in today to live more happy, productive and fulfilling lives; to re-connect with what’s really important to us professionally and personally.
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that connection to ourselves and others is the most important strategy needed for all of us to show up every day at our best and thrive.
Being resilient and dealing with ongoing change is not an end destination – it’s a daily practice. So how do we get fired up with endless challenges in the way?
Linda will help you and your team create an internal revolution. An internal system or strategy that will fuel your passions and goals no matter what’s happening in the outside world.
Linda passionately promises to deliver: powerful shifts, purposeful accountability, and ongoing momentum. Oh, and you’ll have a heck of a good time – maybe the best laugh you’ve had in a long time.
In addition to being an award-winning motivational speaker, she is a proud disruptor of the status quo. Her programs are straight from the hip: Real, Raw, and Refreshing.
If you are ready to experience “The Linda Effect” let’s talk.
