Experience

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.

A Glimpse Into My Personality If you asked my friends to describe me, they would likely use words like caring, driven, trustworthy, and demanding. Personally, I like to think of myself as open, inquisitive, and always ready to see the funny side of things.

My Values and Philosophies that define my career coach and life coach goals Integrity, collaboration, empathy, and kindness are the pillars of my personal and professional life. I believe in living and let live, and I adhere to the philosophy of never giving up, no matter the challenges that come my way.

My Journey My corporate career has taken me on a remarkable journey around the world, leading international teams and truly immersing myself in diverse cultures. I spent many years in marketing and business development and am well known for my ability to build relationships based on respect and trust.

Life Lessons Life is not always smooth sailing. I've faced my fair share of challenges, from unsuccessful job interviews to difficult relationships at work. But through it all, I've learned the importance of resilience, empathy, and never giving up on your dreams.

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.

    Testimonials

    René Moolenaar, Board Member/Advisor and Associate Professor, UK From time to time it is good practice to reflect on your professional journey, the past, the present and where you want to go. You can do this on your own obviously, however, doing this with a coach can make it more structured and insightful, and allows you to explore areas that are difficult to do on your own. Building a relationship with trust at its centre is essential; and for this I can highly recommend Linda. I have found our sessions genuinely of great value and they have helped me plot the next stage of my professional life. Thank you Linda!

    Jill Nelson, Ph.D., BCC, CDTLF, US Linda was my coach through the ICF reciprocal coaching program and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have her as my coach. Linda helped me navigate several job and career transitions, and did so thoughtfully and professionally. I felt heard and respected and she offered several great observations and insights that were very helpful to me. I highly recommend Linda if you are in need of a coach!

    Alice Adzowa Young, UK After some work changes due to the pandemic, a friend recommended Linda. At this moment of transition, I wanted to take another look at my skillsets and values and where I could put them to use. Linda introduced me to her approach and methods, treated me with kindness and warmth, and introduced several frameworks, techniques, tools and exercises I can return to, to keep me focused on my values and interests. Over four sessions, Linda helped me gain clarity and perspective on what is really important to me, helping me gain the confidence to stay true to my values and strengths. As a result, I am more focused and energised, and now seek creative, collaborative work with new experiences and community wellbeing in mind - and I am delighted to say that I have found work and freelancing opportunities that align with these values! Thank you, Linda, for encouraging me to be bold, creative, and entirely myself. I highly recommend her to anyone reassessing their career goals and values.
