Three things make Linda stand out in a very crowded field. 

1. As a young woman, Linda was kidnapped and held hostage by an escaped convict with a .357 Magnum.  She shares her dramatic, riveting escape, as a powerful example of how people can overcome ANY obstacle that life may throw in their path, keep calm in the face of a (shall we say) VERY difficult person, AND stay focused on creating a positive outcome in spite of out-of-control emotions.
2. As a former professional actress, Linda is extremely funny, spontaneous and creative with her examples, as evidenced by a fall-out-of-your-chair-funny rap song that she wrote and performs to help people understand that if you want to be heard and understood by another person, speak THEIR language.
3. She’s an expert in her field.  Linda holds Bachelor of Social Work, and Master of Fine Arts degrees.  She is a best-selling author, and a communication consultant specializing in customer service, leadership and persuasion, and creativity.
