Working with Linda has been a game changer for my business and for my peace of mind as a business owner, I am not exaggerating. She has provided tools and guidance that have given me the structure I have been looking for to be able to achieve the growth and financial security that I had been striving for. The simplicity and unique structure of her coaching and tools has provided my company the ability to truly achieve goals and focus on solving real issues instead of putting out fires. Our staff retention is remarkable for the first time in 10 years due to a value-based “good fit” company culture, communication, and having the right people in the right seats. We have a collaborative and hard-working team that will do whatever it takes to achieve our vision, all while wearing a smile on their face! 
We are so fortunate to have found Linda to guide us and support us through this process. She is our partner, our resource, our challenger, and our breath of fresh air. Linda has a unique ability to push us through our challenges while providing additional training, professional expertise, and connecting us with brilliant people in the community who are also willing to help. She has shared her wonderful knowledge in business management, financial analysis, leadership, and human resources which has truly shaped our company into one of business excellence. We are grateful for Linda’s expertise, guidance, and dedication!

 Working with Linda has been instrumental in the launch of our company. By implementing an operating system within our first year of operations, we were able to identify very early those issues that needed to be prioritized to ensure a strong start, and implement a process for making sure we are always on track to achieving our goals. The operating system has empowered us to implement an effective accountability system with the right employees in the right seats, and work together collaboratively as we work to ensure continued growth and success in the future.

In serving as our coach, Linda has become a critical member of our team. In addition to educating us about the business operating process and ensuring we are utilizing it to maximum capability, Linda is always available to provide invaluable counsel and guidance as we maneuver through the landmines that often take down new businesses. Linda has equipped us with the tools necessary to focus on what is important and make the hard decisions necessary to continue moving forward. We could not do this without her!

Implementation of a business operating system has helped our family business leadership TEAM focus on our organization's future. In doing so, the skills we have been taught have provided us the ability to plan and prioritize to achieve growth during these difficult times. Additionally, what Linda has taught us has given each of us a new perspective on the productivity of our organization's past and a new outlook for our company's future. We knew we needed to look at specific measurements but didn’t have a proven plan in place. Further, it enabled us to properly analyze difficult decisions and execute on those decisions.

Additionally, our TEAM now accomplishes items from our to-do list permanently and efficiently; thus, giving us more time to get things done. Furthermore, by having the right people in the right seats has also boosted our ability to work together as an effective and cohesive TEAM. We are now all joined at the hip by and communication much better!!!

From the beginning, Linda has been an instrumental partner in this long process. She brings much more to the table than simply guiding us through the implementation of the principles and tools. Linda has become a partner in our business and is a valuable member of the TEAM. She continually challenges us to grow personally and professionally, pushing us to make the hard decisions. Linda celebrates alongside us as we accomplish our goals and has made herself available every step of the way. Linda has been a critical member of our organization's success and in our implementation of our business operating system. I highly recommend using Linda’s skillset .
