Speaking Testimonials
For six years, Linda taught non-credit courses in time management, organizational tools and paper management techniques, all to rave reviews from her students. She not only presents the techniques in an easy-to-understand fashion, but she listens carefully to the students’ needs and works within the class timeframe to make sure those individual needs are met. She has been a pleasure to work with and
I recommend Linda as an excellent instructor, who can both create curriculum and teach in a way that engages students and improves their skills and knowledge.

I found the information Linda teaches quite interesting because I’ve never thought of having my own personal style of organizing….I always thought I just didn’t get it. When she taught us about the learning styles and ways of being in the world, it made complete sense. Very enlightening and very easy skills to implement! Linda’s information is clear and helpful, and I’d recommend her class to everyone I know. In fact, I liked it so much that I invited her into my workplace to present an abbreviated version of the class as a Brown Bag. The folks who attended the Brown Bag were also impressed, and expressed their gratitude later for having Linda present her organizational skills mini-class to us.

I have attended many management courses over the years and have learned that the determining factor in the effective retention and end use of any information is directly related to the delivery of the speaker. Your presentation was very calm, clear and well paced. I found myself grasping concepts and understanding them before moving onto the next topic, and walked away from your course with valuable information and a feeling of accomplishment. Also of importance, was allowing people to ask pertinent questions related to the topic of the moment, and using their real life situations to demonstrate your point. It helped to put things in perspective and taught us how to apply the methods and systems you were speaking about. That was a valuable learning tool.

As a public speaker since the age of 16, I’ve discovered that the classes that have the most long-term impact are those where the audience designs the curriculum. My role is to facilitate a process; I find out what the audience desires and where they want to go, then I adapt my presentation style and message to meet their specific needs. Every presentation is unique.
Included here are some sample topics and I am also available to develop a custom curriculum for your specific situation.
