Speaking Services  Linda can provide to you

Linda  has had a lifelong passion with “Edge.” She has pushed the edge of the envelope as a Test Pilot, a Navy Squadron Commander  and in her work as an Executive Coach with helping others claim their ”Edge.”  The models and principles she shares in her speaking and books originated from  30 years of reflection on her narrow survival of an aircraft accident at the onset of her flying career.  Her gratitude for her survival, passion for leading with integrity and desire to offer the gifts of her experience to others has emerged into the wisdom she  generously offers.
