About
High performance gets leaders noticed. Growing into greater responsibility requires more than working harder.
I’m Linda, an executive coach and leadership development practitioner. I partner with organisations and high-achieving leaders to change the behavioural patterns that limit leadership impact and build the judgement, delegation and influence needed for their next level.
WHO I WORK WITH
Ambitious, accomplished leaders who deliver strong results but are also their own toughest critics. They hold exacting standards, second-guess their decisions, and take on too much responsibility. Their drive to prove themselves can leave them focused on delivering everything rather than leading what matters most.
The habits that helped them succeed can become an internal ceiling as their responsibilities grow. Our work is about moving beyond those habits without lowering their ambition.
For organisations investing in high-potential talent and leadership development, I help translate individual capability into readiness for broader responsibility.
WHAT WE WORK ON
• Strategic leadership: Shift attention from managing every detail to setting direction and prioritising what matters.
• Delegation and accountability: Move beyond being the person who solves everything to developing ownership and capability in others.
• Confident judgement: Reduce second-guessing and over-preparation so decisions receive the attention they deserve, not endless reconsideration.
• Executive presence and influence: Contribute with conviction, navigate stakeholder relationships and communicate with calm authority.
• Difficult conversations: Address performance, disagreement and pushback with clarity, empathy and composure.
Underpinning this work is a focus on the inner patterns—perfectionism, approval-seeking, over-control and relentless self-criticism — that can keep capable leaders operating below their potential.
WHAT I BRING
With 23+ years in tech, including 12+ years at Google and five years developing GTM leaders at Indeed, I understand the commercial pressures and organisational dynamics leaders navigate.
I’m an EMCC-accredited Senior Practitioner executive coach with 10 years of corporate coaching experience. I’ve coached 600+ professionals and trained hundreds more, drawing on Positive Intelligence, strengths-based development and practical leadership coaching.
At Indeed, 100% of my coaching clients progressed, 86% achieved their coaching goal, and the average value rating was 4.9/5.
Whether you’re developing your organisation’s high-achieving talent or preparing for your own next level, let’s explore how coaching can turn strong performance into greater leadership impact.
What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
Linda is, without a doubt, the most effective and dedicated mentor I have ever worked with. Having participated in numerous workshops and incubator programs, I can confidently say that her approach is exceptionally rare and tremendously valuable. I am looking forward to keep working with her in many years to come. True Partnership and Empathy Most consultants or mentors focus heavily on touting their past successes. Then when I made a mistake or taken an approach that they would not take, others would judge me. Linda does the opposite: her focus is completely centered on the success of my small startup and my growth as a business leader. She demonstrates profound empathy and genuine commitment, making it feel like she is truly "in your corner" and fighting for your business alongside you. This dedication also extends to enhancing my leadership skills, specifically by coaching me to view challenges from my team's and external partners' perspectives. This approach allows me to either find common ground more effectively or stand firm with confidence when my business requests are reasonable, turning difficult conversations into constructive engagements. This level of dedication is transformative. Focused on Skill Development, Not Just Answers Linda is not someone who simply gives you a fish; she teaches you how to fish—and then jumps in the water with you when you're struggling. While she has deep, reliable knowledge and is ready to share her judgment and "two cents" on urgent issues, her real strength lies in skill development. She consistently helps me to foster the necessary analytical skills to solve difficult situations myself. This approach builds resilience and ensures that I develop the competence to find my own answers, leading to sustained growth, rather than temporary fixes. If you have the opportunity to work with Linda, you are gaining more than a mentor; you are gaining a true partner and advocate. I wish her all the best in her futur

I had 3 mentoring sessions with Linda, for an interview I'm having at Google in Dublin. Her insights concerning communication, structure and tools for the interview were really helpful and I'm feeling more confident for it after the sessions. Linda also helped me by providing feedback at every point, prepared questions and reviewed my material for the interview. I recommend Linda's program 100%!!
