Based on Linda's skills and experience, I estimate her hourly rate to be around $120. This is lower than average for a coach or educational leader with similar experience, but considering she is an owner of a consulting firm, her rate is likely influenced by the business aspect of her work. The rate for educational consultants and coaches in the US can range from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the location, experience, and services offered. Given Linda's location in Huntington Beach, California, and her experience as an owner, I've rounded down to $120 per hour.
