     in a Way That's Also Good for You!

Linda K. Bidlack, MA

Coaching and Consulting for Leaders and Professionals

Who Want to Make a Difference

  • 25 years experience in Coaching, Career Strategy, and Intensive Life Planning
  • Graduate of #1 ranked Counseling program in the US for 12 years in a row, University of Maryland
  • Consultant and trainer to dozens of purpose-driven organizations in Talent Management and Organization Effectiveness
  • Active member of the International Coach Federation

 

Welcome! 

As I’ve worked with people like you who are mission-driven and idealistic, I've heard you mention traits and dilemmas like these:

 
  • You have a ‘fix-it’ or 'make it better' mentality that reflects your willingness to take on responsibility
  • A sense that you are never doing quite enough to make a real impact , which can affect your work/life balance
  • You are frustrated by dysfunction in your team or organization that goes against your strong sense of ethics
  • You have a tendency to brush off the inner voice that says 'it may be time to change' for as long as possible

I’ve helped hundreds of people address these dilemmas. examine their assumptions, redefine their roles and work relationships, and reclaim a passion for their work. 

I draw on executive coaching tools from Georgetown University's Leadership Coaching program and recent research on compassion fatigue, creative endurance, and building resilience, during powerful 1-on-1 conversations that will propel you forward.

 

An experienced and trusted thought partner can make all the difference.

Formerly the corporate Manager of Career Development for Martin Marietta and now a coach for leaders and professionals, I've been a lifelong advocate of people doing what they do best  to make the world a better place...and what that is changes over time!  Therein lies the challenge.

Whether you are an individual trying to become a better leader or looking for a better vocational niche or an organization trying to manage and grow your talented workforce to take on new challenges, I can help you sort out your strengths and decide how to best deploy them.

Why choose me as your coach?

  • I've been where you are. Over my 25 year career, my own quest to use my talent for good has led to reinventing my career several times to fit both my evolving life and the evolving marketplace.  I've been a new college grad during a recession, a manager, a world traveller, a dedicated volunteer, a consultant, a working parent, and a solo entrepreneur.
  • I practice what I preach.   True vocation is always a work in progress, and I've used coaches and ongoing education myself.  I'm driven to make a meaningful contribution and that has required change, updates, continual learning.  It can be daunting.  Real change is easier with an objective, supportive ally.
  • I understand organizational life inside and out. I know how politics and conflicted relationships, blurry roles, missions, and scope creep can sap your spirit... or be used as a springboard.
  • I have a passion for helping people grow, the heart of an encourager, and the mind of a realist.  I will help you face what is true...and move forward.
