Linda McDonald

My values are the best reflection of who I am.

Creativity, Honesty, Wisdom, Giving/Receiving Compassion, Simplicity, Curiosity, Humor

I am a coach, consultant and facilitator because it allows me to help others embrace their passion for learning and growth and create positive energy in all that they do and “be”.

 I have a long history of business and management experience as well as personal and professional development knowledge. Working with individuals and organizations/businesses, both for profit and not-for-profit industries has allowed me to exercise my gifts and talents such as my abilities to capture the big picture, see the vision, attend to detail and build relationships through openness and creativity. I am both teacher and learner and am passionate about the work I do. I am successful when you are successful. Whether I am in front of or behind your initiative to move forward, gain clarity, make change or reinvent, I will bring my passion and skills to the building of your success.

Coaching Client:

Through coaching I’ve learned how to talk to people with love and compassion. I’ve also learned that it isn’t always about me and that sometimes people’s reactions are really about their own issues. I don’t need to own their reaction and that is a choice I can make. Life is all about choices. think everyone could benefit from coaching with Linda. She has great compassion, tools to work with and lets you set the pace while nudging you when it is warranted.           Ellen Mills-Audette of Ellen’s Place
