Client Testimonials
"Linnea was exactly the support I needed during a crucial transition in my life. I’d decided to leave a high-paying but incredibly stressful corporate job to leap into running my own business. There was so much to unpack, and Linnea was instrumental in helping me sort through what I truly wanted this new venture to be. She took my scattered ideas and turned them into a clear, actionable plan. Her guidance on establishing our brand was incredibly helpful and easy to implement, giving us direction that felt authentic and sustainable. Linnea has this amazing balance of empathy and directness—she listens deeply, yet is refreshingly straightforward when needed. I’m so grateful for the confidence she instilled in me to make this transition successfully."

“When you work with Linnea, she's not only there to help your business, she's also there to cheer you on throughout the process and she genuinely wants you to succeed. Linnea helped me figure out what I really wanted out of my business -- and helped me put together a plan to make my goals a reality. I am more confident in myself as a creative business owner and I'm ready to grow my fine art photography in a way that feels right for me. I'm so glad to have worked with Linnea -- I gained not just a clearer picture of my goals and a strategy to get there, but a friend as well!”

“Working with Linnea, my public speaking coach, who seamlessly transitioned into my life coach - has been transformative. Although I initially sought her out for speech refinement at a professional conference, her guidance extended far beyond, enriching my confidence, pronunciation, and authenticity. With her invaluable support, I'm excited to continue our journey together, confidently preparing for future endeavors, including the coveted Ted Talk stage. I feel like with the guidance of Linnea, we can take on the world!”

“Working with Linnea is a dream – she makes intimidating things like data and budgets feel approachable. Linnea helped me streamline my business so that is was more focused on my art and style and less disorganized. She also taught me how to manage inventory and created tools for me to budget monthly, which I'm still using today! Because of Linnea, I was able to successfully bring my business to a larger location last fall, and we're continuing to grow as a result. I highly recommend working with Linnea – she's professional, reliable and has your best interests at heart.”

"Linnea did a fantastic job of breaking down and explaining the components of what we needed to be organized and successful as an organization. I never felt like was doing what she wanted me to do. I always felt included and heard in what I was looking to do to make the startup of Stepping Stone Theater thrive - and she gave valuable feedback and guidance. She is very thorough and has a vast knowledge of information that was incredibly helpful to us. I'm looking forward to working with her again."

Between her energizing creativity and supportive collaboration, I was able to develop a business that's reflective of my clients' needs, as well as my own."

“As a new small business owner, I was always worried about the bottom line and whether or not I could afford the services of a business coach. I was skeptical of the fact that someone could come into my business and improve it (hello, ego!). I was also hesitant to work something new into the budget. It was amazing to see how quickly Linnea analyzed my business and implemented improvements. Not only was there an increase in profit that more than paid for her services, the change of structure to the haphazard way I’d been operating made being a small business owner so much more enjoyable. Since working with Linnea, I’ve moved into a storefront nearly three times the size of my previous location, profits have continued to increase, and I’ve already reached out to her about working together on my next ‘big picture’ idea.”

“Linnea's approach to business coaching is both relaxed and professional. She has the tools to guide both your short and long term goals. I think we're all aware of certain flaws in our methods/actions, and we know these shortcomings are holding us back. Linnea has a gentle way of discussing those issues, while helping you to discover ways to conquer those self-inflicted road blocks.”
