Meet Linda Fossum, CPCC

After teaching in a large school system, Linda returned to college to pursue a second Bachelor’s Degree in business. She worked for Fortune 500 companies such as Target, Carlson Co., Deluxe Check, and First Data to name a few. The last few years of her corporate experience were spent developing training departments from the ground up within large IT departments. Her successes in developing strategic and tactical plans; handling budgets; hiring staff and mentoring them to take over the newly created departments allowed her to move from one large company to another keeping her love of change for the better always there.

After almost 30 years of concentrating her efforts within large corporations, Linda decided to focus on the parts of her job that were the most thrilling and rewarding – the development of high potential individuals through mentoring and coaching. In mid career, she chose to leave a lucrative Corporate America career to become a life/corporate coach and trainer. She now works with clients nationwide who want to reach their potential within their organization as well as outside the traditional work day.

Because of her love of learning and sharing, Linda is always looking for better ways to service and support her clients.

What Clients Say...       My name is Joseph B. and I was offered an opportunity to be coached by Linda. While I had no expectations of our sessions, I thought I would give them my full attention as well as an open mind. My case was a bit different than most for her because I hadn't even thought about the current job market and didn't have any idea where to start.       After becoming disabled 14 years ago, I hadn't even thought myself capable of any work. Linda helped me to simplify what I wanted to do, helped me to implement a strategy and most importantly, put the spark of self-confidence back in my eye. She has an innate talent for reading people and doing what it takes to motivate them. Whenever we speak, I always feel energized afterward. What Linda did for me in just a few sessions was to help me to define the direction that I wished to pursue, to set some realistic boundaries and to put into motion a plan that would not overwhelm, nor discourage me.       While I've sought advice in the past from friends or family, there is nothing like the right person for the job. Linda seems to have a wealth of resources as well as great communication skills.       If you are serious about doing whatever it takes to achieve your goal, then I am certain that Linda's coaching will help to better you. Just be prepared to work. Her time is too valuable for excuses or complacency.
