Testimonials

I came to Lynda with a tangled set of barriers and frustrations in a range of areas including health and fitness, interpersonal relations and management style.  Lynda quickly came to understand what works for me, tailoring her approach to accommodate my needs, and capitalizing on my own motivations and learning style.  With Lynda’s help, I am developing greater self-awareness, have internalized some positive new strategies and behaviours, and am making significant, sustained changes in my fitness and my work life. Lynda’s approach is flexible, responsive, and practical, and underpinned with genuine respect and warmth.  Nathalie Bull

When searching for a coach, Lynda came highly recommended to me, and now I know why!  I am an accountant, not used to thinking strategically.  Simply put, I love numbers.  I sought out Lynda’s expertise to help me in my quest to become an executive in the federal government.  If it wasn’t for Lynda, I would not have attained by goal.  Lynda literally taught me how to “think outside the box”, how to realize my potential.  I knew nothing of the requirements of the government executive staffing process.  With Lynda’s encouragement and support, I was able to understand and ultimately fully demonstrate the leadership skills, abilities, and behaviours expected of a Director.  Invaluable!

Lynda is a fantastic coach and our work together has brought me a new lease on life. Lynda is a great listener and knows how to ask questions to help you examine your assumptions and the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you well. She helps you distil your life goals to its very essence, and then she designs tools, exercises, and practices that allow you to meet your goals. Not only does she do that with seemingly little effort, but your interactions with her and exercises will stay with you for years. If you are willing, Lynda will help you face your fears, learn from them, and be released. She is still MY coach and I still hear her words frequently, though we haven’t spoken for several years.

 I feel incredibly fortunate to have Lynda as my coach. She is an extraordinary, experienced companion/guide on this journey. She is a truly holistic coach who incorporates all levels (body/mind/spirit) into her practice and has helped me to become more effective in dealing with issues and challenges ranging from the pragmatic through to the existential. She is not just a coach but is authentic to her practice and inspires by walking what she talks.  Brian Redmond

My time working with you did and continues to have a lasting impact on how I live and work.  While I could certainly use a refresh on some of the skills, the structure and content of the very personalized coaching program you led me through has caused enduring, positive change to how I approach leadership both at work and in the community.  I am appreciative and grateful for the time and effort you spent with me.  Thank you.

I love how action oriented and empowering life coaching with is. Lynda’s life coaching is an investment in myself. Thank you Lynda for all that you have given me! Krystal T.

Lynda coached me through a period of significant change at my place of work.  I didn’t know what to expect when we started out as I had never worked with a coach before; but, I was not disappointed.  Her ability to listen with compassion and hear beyond my words allowed me to come away feeling more solid about my place in the changes at work.  At times I felt like I was drowning and Lynda was my life preserver.

Lynda opened my eyes, my heart and my mind to the possibilities of being fully me. Lynda’s coaching was timely and her success with me was grounded in her ability to listen and to synthesize what she heard in a way that shifted me out of a place of feeling stuck. She helped me see the path that was available to me and offered me a picture to help me move forward. I have moved, written a book, and taken several risks since I first met Lynda. The picture she offered me is something I continue to carry with me as a reminder to celebrate the journey that is my life. BP

When I first met Lynda I wasn’t in shape at all. At that time I was about to embark in a life changing journey.  To get there I needed a personal coach, one who could understand my needs and provide me with the guidance that suited who I was at the time and who I wanted to be. Lynda worked on the gap with me. I am grateful to her for providing me with a personal training program that allowed me to re-enter my body, which in turn supported me in the journey I was in. I was in good caring hands with Lynda. In my case, change started with my body.  Thank you Lynda! Jean Carignan
