Meet Your Dedicated Coach
About Linda
Hello and welcome! I'm Linda, a compassionate and results-driven career and life coach with a passion for helping individuals unlock their full potential and achieve their goals.
My qualifications
I completed coach training with Barefoot Coaching Limited as a life and career coach specialising in leadership coaching based in Worthing. I am an International Coaching Federation Associate Certified Coach. I receive regular coaching supervision and continue to focus on my coach development through training, research, reading and participating in group coaching sessions.
I have completed extensive training in areas such as values, goal setting, beliefs, imposter syndrome and leadership behaviours.
My Experience
With over 30 years working for American Express and the United Nations, I am well placed to work with you on maximising your career potential.
In director-level positions, I led global teams and developed strategic projects, earning a reputation for adeptness in building global relationships, devising marketing strategies, and nurturing talent.
Throughout my career, I have been deeply committed to developing talent, supporting performance management conversations, and guiding individuals through career coaching, life coaching, leadership coaching and career transitions.
Transitioning to Coaching
The best part of my career was leading and developing individuals to pursue and achieve their career ambitions. Transitioning to a dedicated career in coaching, was a natural evolution of my career. This passion for helping others navigate their career paths and overcome challenges ultimately led me to pursue a second career in coaching.
Having personally experienced redundancy, I deeply understand the stress and uncertainty associated with such transitions. I believe in the value of having a supportive guide to navigate these challenges, explore options, and develop a strategic plan. I am eager to leverage this knowledge to empower individuals that have to go through the outplacement/redeployment process.
Why the International Coach?
Apart from the fact that I love travel and have been to over 70 countries for work and pleasure, I have lived and worked internationally for all of my career and I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. It seemed obvious to me that when I set up my coaching practice, I did it with the clear intention of continuing to work across geographies, supporting individuals from different cultural and work backgrounds.
Coaching Approach
Warm, empathetic, and naturally curious, I create a safe space for my clients to explore their goals and aspirations. I believe in challenging them to go deeper, while always ensuring they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.
By working together, we can identify your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create a plan of action to help you achieve your goals.
