Linda co-developed a course called The Inner Work for Leaders as a coach and teacher for the Hoffman Institute USA, which provides a transformational process for individuals/leaders who are seeking to become more fully present, authentic and become the source of sustainable change in their own lives.
She is the author of 10 books that all provide tools and valuable practices for personal and professional development. Her next book called “The Integrated Leader: The New Model for Leadership" will be out in mid 2020. "Emotional Technology: Cracking the Code on Human Programming – Apps for Lasting Change” will be published in late 2020. It addresses the question as to why 70% of change programs don’t last and why leaders struggle to sustain the skills and practices organizations spend billions of dollars training them in.
