Clarity

Your goals will be specific and clear, in both your business/professional and personal lives. Working with me, you will be more effective, efficient and productive. Clarity is the key.

Accountability

As humans, it is normal from time to time to procrastinate and become overwhelmed. I will keep you focused and accountable, taking the actions and steps needed to move you towards your goals. I will keep you on track.

Evidence of Progress

I will work with you to establish benchmarks and milestones so you have evidence of your progress. This ensures you stay on track to achieve your goals in the timeframe agreed. I will provide your external and objective feedback.

Growth

I will drive you to achieve what you are capable of and beyond. Sometimes we have limiting beliefs that create barriers to our success. It’s my job to support and push you through your glass ceiling – further than what you think is possible. Your success is a direct result of your personal growth and challenging yourself to move out of your comfort zone.

Motivation

I will challenge, inspire and motivate you in ways you haven’t imagined, that will keep you moving towards your goals. As humans, we all need to connect with what motivates us. As your coach, this is my job. Connecting with your goals and your big Why is essential to achieving your success.

Focus

Taking Action

Without taking action, you will stay exactly where you are right now. Working with me, you will learn how to create and implement the new habits you need to achieve your goals and success. This is a direct result of the action that you take.

Client Testimonials

Play

Linda starting working with me after I had been through enormous change, both personally and professionally. Linda really made the effort to understand my own personality and background first which then meant she could provide proper and meaningful advice and support, and hold me to account for making the changes needed. The whole experience was exceptional, and in the end gave me fresh energy, a clearer mind, and renewed focus on what was most important to me in both business and life generally.

By enabling the Executive team to work through the roadblocks and speed bumps that can arise with progressive change, Linda opened up ways of working through these while keeping the end goals in the forefront. AKIPS has benefited tremendously from working with Linda. The Executive Team has worked with Linda, both individually and in a group setting, and cannot recommend her enough. Struggling with rapid group and staff restructure, the Executives needed some guidance on how to navigate through, while still running a thriving and busy company, and continuing to manage staff and client needs. Linda definitely made this transition and process smoother, with more structure and stability then thought possible.

Linda’s coaching has been invaluable. Initially we were both a little unsure if we would benefit from coaching, having had some negative experience with business coaches previously (and zero time to allocate!) but decided one session can’t hurt. After a session it was obvious she could help, and that there was a lot of layers to work on (being both start up business partners and life partners). It’s been super helpful for us both individually, as a couple and in business – getting to root causes/individual blocks/unhealthy dynamics, and helping us to really see and figure out what needs changing.

I have recently completed a 12 Week Challenge Group Coaching Program and Online Course run by Linda Scott of Thinking Leaders. I found the program is insightful, designed to challenge your thinking, your behaviour to ultimately increase your self-awareness. You need vision, the right mindset, achievable goals, as by having a better understanding of who you are, you can influence and lead others to greater achievements. Even though this is an online program the group discussions were robust, engaging, providing real opportunities to learn from other people's experiences. I have owned and operated businesses of various sizes over the past 30 plus years and I am still learning. It is without any hesitation to recommend the 12-week Challenge Group Coaching program to any individual or business leader who has a real desire to inspire and guide others.

I recently completed the Thinking Leaders 12 week Self Leadership Challenge. I found the program incredibly valuable both personally and professionally. The content is relevant for anyone who is looking to take charge of any/all facets of their life. As a facilitator, Linda brings wisdom and genuine experience. She is very personable, authentic and professional. I have gained systems and strategies that will be useful both now and into the future.

To say my coaching sessions with Linda were life-changing is an understatement. Linda's coaching style felt so safe that I was able to fully 'lean-in' to the process, with many sessions taking unexpected turns into areas that I didn't even realise there were issues holding me back. Linda's work gave me clarity, focus and a deep understanding of myself and how I choose to go forward in my life, both professionally and personally. Linda, you have a very special gift and I am so grateful for your work. Thank you.

Being the director of two companies can be a lonely existence at times. I've attended good quality networking communities such as qld leaders and other educational and stimulating events to try and bridge the gap between operations and being a leader. This is where Linda's Thinking Leaders course comes in. Linda guided me through a process of self discovery. It wasn't always a pleasant process but the self realisations were significant. Getting to know myself in greater detail has given me confidence when dealing with adversity and some of the challenges of running a business. being in business is never easy. Linda has provided me with a framework of personal conduct to ease this burden.

Linda's programs and engagements though Thinking Leaders cut through the noise and dross of many business coaching consultancies to deliver actual both short and long term value. The insights, revelations, and skills acquired through engagements with Thinking Leaders are real and entirely applicable to business and personal life. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Linda has been amazing to work with, would highly recommend her as a coach - particularly to couples in business together as her approach encompasses more than just business strategy, but relationship dynamics as well, which is so important as we all know that business can be compromised / at risk if the relationship is not harmonious!

Linda with Thinking Leaders brings a whole new genre to the world of business and how you are able to look at yourself to achieve your best outcomes. Linda is thoroughly professional and challenges the way you think about business to make the most of your opportunities. I highly recommend her business coaching skills.

I have recently completed Linda's one on one coaching, and WOW what a transformation! Linda helped me to grow into the Leader I have always wanted to become. Linda helped me take accountability for myself, recognise when I was not living in alignment with who I wanted to be and ultimately has helped me to level-up in all areas of my life- because how we do one thing is how we do everything. Thank you so much Linda, I highly HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone wanting to truly think like a leader! I am excited to continue my growth journey with Linda in 2023!
