Linda Feerick

Overview

Linda is a business coach and specialises in developing leaders. She has a financial services background and has held a range of senior business and HR roles. Linda has a diverse experience as a leader, from managing large teams in a call centre environment through to specialist teams spread throughout the UK. This operational experience is invaluable in her work – she understands the pressures that today’s leaders face from both a theoretical and a personal experience perspective.

Linda is passionate about developing leaders, particularly those who are technical experts but need support with the people side of their role. Her coaching style has been described as results-focused and honest. She also works with teams who want to improve their overall performance but need someone to act as a facilitator. She is not afraid to speak the unspoken and has seen significant breakthroughs for teams who are willing to face uncomfortable truths.

Other information

Linda would like to think that she has a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Unfortunately this is mostly fantasy. The reality is that she acts as social secretary to her two children. She does however find time to be a Prince’s Trust business mentor and has recently discovered the joys of family activity holidays. She is also a governor at her local FE College, which gives her the opportunity to use her business experience to make a difference in her own community.
