Bio
Imogen Head
Linda coached me through some difficult situations - challenging me and giving me techniques which I fall back on time and time again. Lindas approach is supportive and she absolutely knows her stuff on how to get the best from you in her coaching techniques.
Rosanna Clayman
The personal benefits gained from coaching with Linda were invaluable. The techniques she introduced me to transformed my thought process and helped me reach sound conclusions on some decisions I was dealing with. I wasn’t sure what to expect and secretly hoped to be told which life path to take but coaching got me thinking about my goals from a different perspective and in a helpful, realistic and motivating way. I would thoroughly recommend Linda to anyone looking for coaching and support.
Simon Baxendale Assoc CIPD
Behind every career success story sits a strong coach and mentor. Many individuals have helped to shape and support my career but none more so than Linda, whom I’ve had the privilege to call my coach and mentor since starting my HR Career in the NHS. I’ve always felt totally at ease working with Linda, from my beginnings as an HR Administrator to my time in more senior positions, where she has become a very stable support and someone I have trusted implicitly throughout my whole career. I may have achieved some great things in a relatively short space of time, but it has been through Linda’s expert guide that I have found the edge to get to the top of my game. Her approach is flexible and she will always tailor the support she provides to what works best for you. When we first started working together I really appreciated the time she took to get to know me, my story and what my aspirations were. She certainly puts the ground work in with you, building an important and valued professional relationship which will ultimately enable you to achieve your potential. Overall, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
