Career & Business Coaching Praise

In my career strategy, I needed someone who could work side by side with me to develop plans and metrics, provide encouragement without being overbearing and keep me on track and on task. Linda is doing an excellent job and is a pleasure to work with. She is definitely the coach you want on your team. -JC

I sought Linda's help to suss out the next turn for my massage therapy business which had gotten a bit stuck. We also looked at possibilities for my next career which I plan to step into within 5 years. Throughout the process of meeting with Linda in person and chatting over the phone, I was impressed with her natural ability to listen, to engender trust, and to clearly mirror back what the hell it was I was rambling on about! Figuratively speaking, I've been launched out of a canon! We've finished working together for now, but I will certainly call Linda when I'm ready to make the next step with my career path(s).

Linda loves what's she's doing - which is evident in every manner of her work as a life coach. I recommend her highly. Feel free to contact me if you need any further feedback. And for chrissake, call Linda - your future depends on it!!!  -SB

Linda Yach was a career coach for me for several months and did an excellent job. For her I reserve the highest praise.

Linda was always positive and upbeat, with her pleasant voice reaffirming one's best qualities. Exercises we did were helpful and meaningful. Instead of steering one to options, Linda enables one to see possibilities. Perhaps her greatest strength is acting like a bright, shiny mirror reflecting one's finest characteristics, desires and interests.

Linda struck the perfect chord of neutrality while helping me explore and discover the depths of my potential. She is the ideal candidate to aid in a question about, or transition to, a career. -LK

Linda is an extraordinary personal coach who inspires and motivates in a positive, supporting and relaxed style. I had such a rewarding experience working with Linda during a period of uncertainty in my career where I strongly needed an objective influence to help me focus on what I wanted to do and regain confidence in my professional self. I appreciate the structured exercises, personal profiling and guided discussions. It was nice to know that no matter what my decision or situation, Linda always saw the bright opportunities at play towards my greater vision.

I first hired Linda as a gift to my brother who was laid off from his job and was looking at career options. I then hired her for myself for a period of about 5 months over the summer. I would definitely recommend Linda and would use her services again to continue the goals and direction that she helped me set in motion. -DG

Life Coaching Praise

Here’s the thing I love most about Linda’s coaching: she meets you exactly where you are. 

With other coaches, I’ve always ended up feeling like I should be someplace else in my process (or in my life) in order to be successful. Most coaches have their own process and they put enormous energy into trying to shoehorn you into it.

Linda’s different. She’s great at meeting you exactly where you are and helping you navigate to where you want to be. I’ve worked with Linda in a number of ways over the past year, from helping me navigate a major life and career shift, to keeping me on-track as a daily “accountabili-buddy.” She has a wealth of practical and creative ideas — whatever the situation seems to call for. Best of all, she’s fantastic at empowering you with all the tools you need to ultimately achieve your goals on your own. So awesome!

Coaching is Linda’s art form. She’s creative, intuitive, compassionate and kind. And she’s got a great vibe — so much fun to work with! Connecting with Linda has made all the difference in my life. -DH

You will be hard pressed to find a more enthusiastic, energetic, directed life coach than Linda Yach. I came to her in the beginning of 2009. My life was unmoored, unfocused and without a clear sense of direction. Linda's guidance sent me on my current path, with a new job, stronger outlook and more optimism that i have felt in years. Linda made me feel comfortable in my journey with her and beyond, steering me in the directions I wanted to go, asking tough questions while consistently making my own personal goal set and value system the core of the work we accomplished together. I highly recommend Linda as a life coach to anyone seeking honest feedback about where you want to go and how to get there on your own personal power. She helped me tremendously and will do the same for you. -MF

Linda's effective, practical motivation customized specifically to me and my obligations allowed me to be successful in taking the steps to realize the short term goals toward my dream lifestyle.  She helped me define the dream, and she put  fear and self-doubt on a shelf out of my way.
 
Linda listens carefully and brings out the tools from her vast kit according to what you need to realize your dreams. I came to her with a thought of what I wanted to do and we went from there. She first got me to dream and identify the ineffable stuff that makes me happy; prioritizing the obstacles I kept laying in the way as we went. She then worked with me to define the discrete steps necessary to get my dreams off the ground. The next thing I knew she was in the boat with me; monitoring my velocity nudging me in a way I could act on it; cheering me on with glee and passion.
 
In a year's time, I’ve gone from a corporate job that had little intrinsic value to me to launching my own business. I think of Linda as friend now. -EA
