Linda Brown, MBA, MEd

As a professional coach, I support individuals, executives, and leaders in exploring what they want to do, be, and have...and then in how to achieve it all!  My goal is to assist others in unleashing tremendous personal, professional, and organizational effectiveness. 

• Goal clarity and development
• Time management
• Self empowerment
• Self-esteem and responsibility
• Work/life balance
• Reducing conflict
• Reducing fear and embracing courage
• Career development
• Increasing motivation
• Reducing procrastination
• Start up and small business coaching
• Strategic business and marketing planning
• Organizational effectiveness and change management
• Career and life transitions



I have held a breadth of executive positions with for-profit and non-profit organizations for over 25 years crossing a number of industries including food manufacturing, high technology, healthcare, and youth services.  

Today, I am passionate about helping individuals and organizations achieve all that they want to be, do, and have - realizing greater success comes from intentional personal and professional growth and development. 

Much of my work is focused on setting the right goals, prioritizing resources and activities, developing clear communication, and providing excellence in customer care.

Besides coaching, Linda instructs a full-year, comprehensive small business management course and provides individual coaching to small business owners through a college in Southern Oregon.

Coaching is a specific process of interactions over a period of time that encourages a shift in who you are, what you do, and how you do it.  By stimulating new thoughts and ideas, coaching allows a broader array of actions than before. By offering a respectful, inquiring form of conversation and listening, coaching expands your ability to make significant changes, move forward in new areas and have more of what you want in your life. 

Several things help ensure the greatest results from coaching:

• Complete a coaching agreement, which outlines the nature of coaching, client and coach expectations, the coaching schedule, and confidentiality.   
• Commit to three-months of coaching initially.  
• Prepare for each session by reflecting on what progress has been made and then considering how you would like to use the upcoming session.  

Most coaching is conducted by telephone but may be held in person (Oregon) or by Skype.  Sessions are scheduled at a regular and mutually-agreed upon time 2-3 weeks each month.

Coaching sessions are strictly confidential.  No information provided during coaching sessions will be discussed with anyone else without your permission.

We welcome you to explore the benefits of coaching and offer you a complimentary coaching session.  We encourage you to explore whatever you are wanting in your profession, business, and personal life! 

Email or call to schedule a free 30-minute coaching session.   This is an opportunity for you to experience if coaching is right for you.  At the end of the 30-minutes, we'll ask if you want to explore coaching beyond this introductory session.  If so, we'll be happy to talk about designing a coaching program that suits your needs, time, and budget.  If not, there is no obligation to continue and you won't be contacted again unless you request us to at a later time. 

“Linda provides excellent leadership coaching. I consider her part of my "dream team" of advisors who empower and challenge me to lead my organization into the opportunities of tomorrow while dealing with the challenges of today.” 

"Linda is a focused, organized and methodical doer! She is highly efficient at thinking things through, getting consensus, and then implementing, rather than just wading in and wasting time backtracking or wallowing. I highly recommend her."

“There are many people who want to provide value, but few who have the experience and knowledge to actually do it. Linda is one of the few. Over the years Linda has taken her clients, their resources and abilities and been able to provide direction and guidence for their success. I highly recommend Linda as a consultant who brings tremendous value to her clients.”

"Linda has helped me focus on important foundations in my business. She has given me the tools and contacts to help me become more successful in the business world. Linda has asked me great questions to learn more about what I do and has given me insight from her past experiences. She has much experience in business and is a life learner always searching for more opportunities to learn more about businesses." 

“Linda's desire to provide helpful information was inexhaustible. Her network of professionals and resources provided a vast library of material and her educational and life experiences yielded many pertinent examples of problem solving and solution based coaching.” 

"Linda has been great to work with. She is coaching me through the development of a marketing plan. I found Linda to be patient and caring yet with the leadership skills to keep the project moving forward. I look forward to working with Linda again and would recommend her for anyone looking for a Business Consultant."
