Meet Linda
PCC, CPCC, CliftonStrengths Certified Coach
I’ve always been insatiably curious: about places to visit, cultures to experience, food to taste, books to devour and people to meet and connect with. That curiosity began in a high school library in Omaha, staring out at a snowy landscape, dreaming of the lives I could touch and the places I could go. It has fueled a 30-year journey in consulting and coaching, working with leaders around the globe, helping them grow, evolve, and thrive.
What I discovered along the way is that people—messy, brilliant, resilient people—are the greatest source of inspiration. Long before it became mainstream, I was drawn to what made individuals strong, not broken. I’ve always believed in building on what’s right with people, not what's wrong. That belief became a guiding force in my work, especially during my time with Gallup, as StrengthsFinder (now CliftonStrengths) was launched.
As a "Maximizer," I naturally help others elevate from good to great. And with "Input" as another dominant strength, I'm constantly gathering insights, ideas, and connections that fuel meaningful change.
My coaching philosophy is the embodiment of that lifelong curiosity and passion for helping others realize their full potential—whether you’re a seasoned professional or simply someone ready for something more. This is a space for growth, clarity, and transformation. If you’re ready to step into what’s next, you’re in the right place.
