Speaking Services  Linda can provide to you

Linda enjoys a lifelong passion with “Edge.” She has pushed the edge of the envelope as a Test Pilot, a Navy squadron commanding officer, and currently in her work as an executive coach.  The models and principles she shares in her books and speaking opportunities originate from  30+ years of reflection, ranging from the start of her flying career and narrow survival in a high performance jet aviation accident  to today's coaching  engagements with leaders at all levels across a broad spectrum of global industries.  Her gratitude in surviving a nearly fatal aircraft crash, passion for leading with integrity, and desire to offer the gifts of her experiences to others, has emerged into the wisdom she leverages for the benefit of each and every client.
