“Linda is an established leader with extremely effective communication skills.” – Managing Director, Tax, A&M
Thrive During Chaos
is a dynamic and engaging 45-minute presentation. I take my guests through a multi-media, data rich and story driven experience, while presenting timely and relevant examples that deeply resonate with professional services leadership.
I address the key issues that all management currently face, including hybrid and gig work, the great resignation, talent acquisition, digital transformation, alumni programs, and Diversity Equity & Inclusion.
Poignant and humorous, it is tailored for each specific audience. Memorable and, most importantly, actionable, your professionals will leave empowered to lead positive change.
“Linda is a superb speaker and conveys her messaging in a simple, easy to understand and engaging way….She inspires others to follow her lead with deep knowledge, creative ideas and practical advice.” – CMO, Passle

Inspiration in whatever form you request.
My keynote is created for 100 or 5,000. It can include a Q&A, or specific topics that are of high priority for your firm. No boring slides, just relevant data, real life stories and solutions.
Practice Area meetings can go deeper into the needs of your group and address issues that are unique to you and your Partners or Managing Directors. Having presented to hundreds of practice groups over 3 decades, I know how to quickly get to the heart of the matter and start making change.
A workshop can be for a subgroup of a Practice Area, a mixed group of Senior and Junior professionals, or for Corporate Services professionals and staff. Created to solve your communication needs, I can lead a group of up to 20.
It has never been so hard to run a profitable and compassionate firm as it is right now. Management of people, operations, and technology is more complicated than ever. Finding and holding on to your best partners and employees seems close to impossible.
I understand your challenges and I have solutions.
Through Thrive During Chaos, I can shift perspectives resulting in better relationships with your employees and clients, and more compassionate leadership.
As an industry leader in Professional Services Management, Business Development, Marketing, Communications, Talent Retention and Acquisition, I have held C-Suite roles in management consulting and law firms and have also consulted with leading accounting, law, and consulting firms. With a degree from the University of Chicago and experience on stage at comedy clubs in New York, my storytelling approach to management is unique.
As one of the only in-house C-Suite leaders to also build my own consulting, recruiting and video companies, I’ve presented live and virtually to tens of thousands of professionals across the globe.
And I’ve just created a new presentation for leaders in these crazy times.
“She is a dynamic and engaging speaker whose energy kept the audience engaged.”
