Coaching
A friend recommended Linda to me for 1-on-1 coaching to support my leadership and help me get clarity on my leadership goals. It was a great decision! She has been indispensable in helping me show up as a better leader and helping me unravel the different layers of my experiences so I can better understand what’s happening and how I want to respond. Linda is responsive, incisive, and supportive. I highly recommend her.
I found Linda after searching for a career coach for over a year and being unable to find someone who had an intersectional lens and a crystal clear understanding of equity and oppression. Linda understands personally what it means to be both a creative person and a person committed to social justice, and she has supported me to move from a point of total uncertainty in both my career and life to clarity in my skills, purpose, and what brings me joy. From our initial consultation, I was began taking concrete steps to move out of the lost place I had been in for years prior, and over the course of 5 months Linda guided me toward a full life I didn’t imagine possible. Linda’s varied professional background makes her excellent at giving feedback, offering innovative approaches to cut cut through common stories I tell myself and create a new narrative, and shift my focus to pinpoint the details I had dismissed in order to uncover a new trajectory for my life and work.

As an equity leader managing power dynamics, her coaching approach is helping me to dismantle white supremacist cultures by embracing my power. Her graceful approach pushes me out of my comfort zone so that I can fully embrace my Latina super power!

Linda’s wisdom, guidance, and passion were key in helping me realize the changes I needed to see and make in order to move forward with my career. Linda’s career coaching strategies greatly assisted in setting reasonable and achievable regular goals that facilitated making a long-term major change and a step forward. Her innovative approach to resume work encouraged me to reevaluate my approach towards resume writing and greatly improved careers communications strategies. Linda’s networking advice was similarly invaluable in assisting me with maximizing my return on investment for time spent on career and job search activities while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

I got to work with Linda as a coach through the Windcall program and she was just the right match for me. Linda is thorough, excellent at getting to root causes of issues, and deeply committed to unveiling power within her clients. I felt seen, supported, and able to quickly move both technical and emotional blocks to my work out of the way, and drop into deeply purposeful work. I recommend her for folks who are ready to do some focused work towards their joy.

The Cost of Our Lives is an immigrant daughter’s compassionate exploration of complicated inheritances. Using archival records and oral histories with her Colombian-Mexican family, Linda González untangles los engaños and the silences of her childhood to ultimately create a moving portrait of the complex family relations that shape a woman’s life.
Linda was an excellent coach to alumni of Windcall, a leadership resiliency program for community and labor organizers. I consistently received great feedback on her work and heard her in action myself conducting coaching “sampler” sessions on our program orientation calls. She is warm, supportive and concrete all at the same time.

Linda is a thoughtful, well-grounded, and supportive beacon of light that coached me through a major transition. She also helped guide our team through challenging conversations on current and historical issues of race, class and gender in our organization and the larger environment.

Dr. Patricia PérezEducation and Diversity Consultant
I’ve had the good fortune to benefit from Linda González’ wise counsel in many areas. She is a gifted writer/editor, with a keen eye and ear for the written and spoken word and strong sense of the power of story. Linda’s extraordinary commitment to social justice and her efforts to expand opportunities for people of color, especially mujeres, is an inspiration. As she does for herself, Linda helps each of us envision and plan how we can create fulfilling personal and professional lives.
