    “I attended Linda's workshop on Thought Leadership the morning before I had to give a presentation. Her instruction helped me to trust myself and embody the knowledge I had all along. I learned that I knew exactly what to say that evening, and my thoughts and story flowed seamlessly, as I spoke from my heart. Linda’s workshop taught me to embody my creativity, get into my body and not get stuck. The energy I generated during the presentation, thanks to Linda, allowed me to connect deeply with the women from the event. Her workshop was a huge help and I would highly recommend her.”

    “Linda is truly exceptional. Working with her has been a wonderful experience. Her friendly and approachable personality is complemented by her extensive professional expertise in Life and Business Coaching. I had the privilege of working with Linda as a learning material provider for our Global Entrepreneurship course. This course educates entrepreneurs, newcomers, and potential newcomers about doing business in Canada. Linda provided two comprehensive webinars titled "Work/Life Balance and Business Mindset." For each webinar, she delivered an hour-long recording, a handout to address different learning styles, a list of questions to check understanding, and a list of additional resources for further learning. In preparing these valuable resources, we had multiple meetings and exchanged numerous emails where Linda demonstrated maximum support and flexibility to meet all program requirements. Moreover, Linda participated in a series of live roundtables to facilitate direct interaction with experts. She was creative and engaging, offering strategies to busy entrepreneurs to help them be successful while enjoying their lives and journeys. Additionally, Linda provided one-on-one mentorship to two winners, who gave highly positive feedback about their experience with her. Linda was exceptionally well-prepared for her two webinars and the roundtable sessions mentioned earlier. She used professional presentations powered by case studies and realistic scenarios, which fostered engagement and trust in the content. Her comprehensive materials and complementary components, such as summary handouts, questions, and additional resources, stood out. Her strengths lie in her warmth, confidence and inner peace, which are evident in her demeanor, communication, and interactions. Linda's stress-free attitude is highly attractive. Her ability to listen and address diverse needs, including different learning styles and accommodating non-native English speakers, is impressive. On a personal level, Linda is open-minded, honest and appreciates differences. She sees the beauty in everything and never hesitates to express her positive feelings. I am an avid follower of her on LinkedIn, where she is a creative writer. I have met Linda at multiple events, and she is a well-respected figure in the entrepreneurial community.”
