She helped me identify my personality as being an INFP and how to use it to my advantage in the workplace. She also pushed me to start reaching out to people on LinkedI..." Read more

"I spent fifteen years at a career I chose for myself in childhood, so much of my identity was intertwined with that title. I had been agonizing for months on my own, stalled, thinking about a career change. Working with Linda helped me work through fear and design a path that resonated with my whole (adult) self, and it allowed me to see how this new directi..." Read more

"Wasn't bad, but wasn't for me. Must be busy from COVID-19 impacts, sessions needed to be booked 3+ weeks in advance and/or in batches due to availability, coach I was connected with wasn't local or even in Canada (US). My coach was positive and encouraging, but not critical. Left each session hearing and feeling like "I'm doing all the right things and on..." Read more
