Linda Anderson

Life coach and business coach

Concord, NSW | www.a2acoaching.com

Linda Anderson is a Certified Professional Coach dedicated to helping people live bold and rewarding lives. Linda has an energetic and direct style of coaching which suits people who like to be challenged. She currently works with clients in Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Japan and USA.

Linda has a passion for travel. In 2002 Linda and her husband sold all their belongings, hit 'pause' on their respective careers, and spent 365 days traveling the world. They visited places they had only dreamed of and had experiences they never anticipated. They did not work a single day.

"I am committed to making the most of life, to be challenged and inspired by every choice I make, to follow my dreams. I want balance between my career and my desire to play. One day I want to be a grandmother with great stories to tell and no regrets."

Before becoming a coach Linda could be found in project management roles within the Arts industry. Linda was known for her ability to create cohesion amongst conflicting stakeholders and finding solutions regardless of the obstacles.

In her spare time Linda can be found racing Outrigger Canoes, hiking, traveling or curled up on the couch with a good book.
