Linda P. Prince

Linda P. Prince
General Consulting

Specializing in:
• Culture Change
• Executive Coaching
• Creating Shared Vision
• Strategy deployment
• Leadership Development
• Instructional Design

Linda helps organizations understand their culture, decide their vision, and then is highly effective in developing processes which gain not just “buy in” but true commitment in turning vision into reality. Her expertise includes: large scale change, organizational behavior, conflict resolution, group facilitation,, executive coaching and instructional design.

Prior to consulting, she led four distinctly different turnarounds with her efforts resulting in financial success and also energized employees, loyal customers and effective systems in place to sustain growth. Through this experience, she learned the importance and skills for quickly establishing trust, learning a new work environment and energizing employees toward a common goal.

This experience combined with her education as a counselor allows her to go beyond theory and provide practical solutions to client problems. She is highly effective in even the most challenging of corporate change situations. To use the words of a 72 year old family business patriarch, “she just has a way about her.” Whether it is navigating through ten year old conflict, keeping up with the speed of a startup or leading a dinosaur company to reinvent itself, she is gifted in seeing possibilities and designing ways to achieve them.

She also works in the custom design and delivery of learning experiences. In this aspect of her practice, her experience ranges from facilitated meetings for 150 leaders after a merger to a twelve day executive development program for one of the largest companies in the world.

As a speaker, she interjects stories of “having been there” as a leader or along side as a consultant. She uses creative analogies to make what is complex, understandable and what is intangible, vivid and memorable. She lives with consistency between what she thinks, feels, says and does. Thus, the platform from which she speaks is genuine.

She views the key to coaching executives as listening for understanding, understanding of the individual as well as the company. Just as sound corporate strategy requires knowledge of the economic environment, sound executive coaching requires knowledge of the corporate arena where the victories are won.

She holds a masters in counseling from Ball State University and has completed post graduate work in business at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. She also holds a Bachelor or Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Social Work form Concord College.

Her joys in addition to consulting include leading visioning sessions for churches, interior design, antique hunting. flower gardening and the occasional creation of an oil painting. She especially enjoys the houseguests who point to the Monet reproduction and ask, “Is this yours?’

She sees helping clients create a picture of what they would like to have happen and creating an image on a canvas as interrelated. Each a work of art but the organizational work the higher calling. It is a medium that allows her the privilege of touching lives from the shop floor to the boardroom and around the globe.
