Experience:
Linda worked in the pharma industry in multinational global roles and in NHS healthcare management for over 20 years in each sector. These challenging positions fuelled her interest in people: what makes them tick, what motivates them and what gets in the way of letting them be the best they can be. Having held many executive and senior leadership roles, Linda has mentored many colleagues and witnessed the power of coaching in unlocking potential in colleagues, both internal and external to the pharma business.
Linda is now exclusively an executive and business coach and consultant. She says she is particularly energised by the positive results a coaching approach provides clients in different settings, different countries and careers.
Linda regularly practices yoga and enjoys art, the theatre and Italian cuisine.
Coaching Style:
Energetic, Action Oriented, Enthusiastic
Linda’s approach to coaching reflects her approach to life – it is one of enthusiasm, energy and action! Linda is focused and flexible, curious, energetic and interested and her prime objective is always to partner with her clients to address the difficult questions, challenge and support them to achieve their goals.
“The coaching sessions with Linda covered a lot of ground. It felt like I had done a full work out by the end of a session but each time I ended the session with entirely new concepts and perspectives; of others and myself.”
“Linda helped guide me to solutions and self-knowledge that have helped me to significantly improve in both working and non-working life. The sessions were insightful, at some points difficult, but always respectful and supportive. Linda is a fantastic listener and an even better coach; I was lucky to have had the experience.”
