Here's what our members are saying ...  

"Initially, I thought Lin could help me shape my new coaching business. Little did I know I was going to embark on the roller coaster ride of my life -- starting my business AND moving to another state. Lin's encouragement kept me moving forward even when I wanted to hide under a rock (a very BIG rock!) Lin was always there to help me through the scariest of times, and she always made me feel special-- one of my biggest fans. I don't know what I would have done without her!"

"Lin’s coaching gave me so much. I now have a plan for what’ next for me, know where I’m going and have the confidence that I’m actually going to do it, instead of just talking about it!"

"I was looking to expand and broaden my life outside of the typical retirement that everyone visualizes. I knew that I would need to have an income of some sort to supplement my savings, and I wanted to avoid falling into similar "jobs" that I always had. But coming up with my new business, WittzEnd.com, was a struggle that I had with myself. Lin was someone that I did not know and she could listen to me and talk with me without any preconceived ideas. I was a blank canvas and she helped me create the portrait of the next phase of my life, find the confidence that I had lost and find the joy that I had lost somewhere along the way."

Claire LeSage
AtWittzEnd.com


"With Lin as my coach, I moved from "I want to write", to writing, to a body of work, to "I AM A WRITER!!!' I couldn't have gotten the first book done without her. And, we had so much fun. Now, my second book is almost ready to be shopped around, and I'm taking notes for number three. I couldn't be more pleased.”

    Here's what our members are saying ...
    "Thank God I signed up for a coach. Thank God I chose Lin! She's helped me go from # 58 to # 3 on my sales team, weather the shut down of my entire division, and move in a whole new direction -- the dream of owning my own business. Lin's belief in me constantly gives me the courage to think bigger, be bolder, and live more fully."

    "Lin is a great coach. I wouldn't be an innkeeper if it weren't for her. I was following the path of least resistance in my business career, successful, but not particularly joyful. Lin helped me rediscover my artist side, and encouraged me to take the leap into what I really wanted to be doing. That was 6 years ago, and I've never looked back."



    "I changed my thinking, and my life began to change dramatically. Best of all, I've tapped into my passion, and I'm creating the life I always wanted to live."
    Stephanie Wright


    "I hadn't even heard of coaching when I began working with Lin. But, I needed help in reviewing and evaluating the direction of my life, and in deciding what business I wanted to create. Coaching seemed to be a possibility that could help. I was right -- it was! Having Lin to guide me was invaluable, and gave me the strength to make clearer choices based on what I needed to grow myself, and my business. Lin is a shining star in the coaching world."
