Fall marks a changing season and new beginnings. It can reinvigorate change in an organization or an individual. I appreciate hearing from clients on how change has impacted them. Below are selected testimonials to give you a sense of how I enjoy working with my clients.

I have known and worked alongside Linda in several distinctive capacities over the past several years.

She is a truly gifted communicator, talent developer, and person. Linda has helped a multitude of people through their professional and humanitarian efforts over the years.

To be able to know and work closely with Linda has been a true privilege.

– Marketing Operations and Program Manager

I'm a young professional, six years out of college, and working in the nonprofit sector. A couple years ago, I was feeling stuck. My thoughts ranged from graduate programs to job changes and beyond. In a series of phone calls and one in-person meeting, Linda helped me discern direction from my thoughts and now I'm happily on to my next adventure. Every call concluded with "next steps" for me to complete on my own. She helped me update my resume and introduced me to professionals working in sectors outside my circle. Linda's support gave me accountability, focus, and results. I enthusiastically recommend her services!

I completed the Integral Coaching program with Linda, and it was truly transformative. I was in a "rut" - feeling unhappy in my current career but unsure of how to pivot. I read all the books and articles on how to transition careers and find your passions, applied for jobs that seemed interesting, and chatted with friends in other industries but still felt stuck and discouraged. After my first session with Linda, I felt reinvigorated in my career search and approached it with enhanced confidence and direction.

Linda's ability to navigate difficult conversations and help me realize where my true passions lie, refined my sense of purpose, and gave me a deep understanding of what sparked joy within me. She became a champion for my success - encouraging me to approach things in new and different ways and challenge my self-defeating beliefs. Along the way she provided concrete "steps" to keep me on path and motivated. She was generous in helping me find connections and job opportunities and network with those that could further my success.

While my growth and development will never be "complete," Linda equipped me with tools that will last a lifetime as I continue overcoming obstacles and reaching new heights both personally and professionally.

I feel I've found a forever coach in Linda. It is clear she is passionate about her clients and the work she does. If you're looking for a guide in ANY arena of your life, I can confidently say Linda is the right choice!

Linda Favero worked with me as my career coach during one of the most challenging times in modern history.
