Explore Blind Curves to Discover Answers

What Now?

When traditional advice and more of the same stopped working, Linda traded her corporate suits for motorcycle leathers and headed into the unknown. Through fun and revealing stories of blind curves, wrong turns, setbacks and successes, she takes audiences on a journey that challenges old beliefs and expands what might be possible. Along the way, audiences begin exploring their own “What Now?” moments and the blind curves where new answers may be found.

Blind Curves: Finding Answers in the Unknown

Chaotic Creation—the New Normal

Change is happening faster than most of us can keep up. Old answers no longer fit, experts disagree, and we can find ourselves facing several “What now?” questions at the same time. Instead of waiting for certainty or a clear map forward, Chaotic Creation offers another way. Linda shows how taking small exploratory steps, testing new possibilities, and learning as we go can help clarity emerge.

What Audiences Discover

Why waiting for clarity can keep us stuck while the world around us keeps changing.

How old boundaries limit the possibilities for finding new solutions

How we often have to take first steps before we know the final destination

How we become our own experts by testing possibilities and learning as we go.

Cancer InsideOut —An Insider’s View & Outsiders’ Perspective

Cancer touches nearly all of us, whether we are living with it ourselves or supporting someone who is. And from either side, we face difficult questions: How do I ask for help? How do I give help?

Cancer InsideOut approaches cancer from both sides: reflections and insights from inside the experience of living with cancer, and practical guidance for those on the outside who want to help. Linda customizes each presentation, shifting the emphasis between these two experiences based on the audience composition and need.

    Jim Powell, Director, Leadership Perryton

  • “I was deeply impressed by Linda’s ability to connect with our employees by weaving in business stories and example that relate to our business. The enthusiasm in the room wasn’t just for her story, but the audience’s ability to relate to her message about how to navigatie life’s blind curves in our hyper-changing world.”

    Davita Vance-Cooks, Director, U.S. Government Publishing Office

    Cynthia de Lorenzi, CEO of Success in the City

  • “Linda models a life of reinvention. On and off stage she inspires others to dig deep to discover their own talents. Audiences walk away ready to answer “What Now?” with new tactics to make it happen. Listening to her speak over the past years has made a huge impact on me as a leader of change."

    Kristina Bouweiri, CEO of Reston Limousine and Virginia Women’s Business Conference Organizer

  • “I've walked much of the journey that [Linda] talked about, and it affirmed my experiences. It gave me courage to continue the journey and know that if I do something and it doesn't turn out like I thought it would, that's okay.”

    Vicki Dalzelle, Director of Learning Development, Phillips Edison Company
