Linda Cassell, certified executive coach, recruiter, workshop facilitator, and speaker, teaches executives how to jumpstart their careers to create new and exciting professional possibilities. Her clients learn customized personal development techniques and smart business strategies that help them make quantum leap changes in their thinking, habits, and focus. Social media, marketing, resume writing, interviewing and networking techniques are included as part of her coaching packages.
Linda uses an “inside-out” approach, believing that exte al change is an internal process. When clients have made the "mental shift" necessary to accomplish their goals, they have full access to their natural creativity. That is when the "magic" begins and the million dollar ideas surface. As a result, they create “inspired action plans” which lead to career and business opportunities that previously seemed unattainable.
As an entrepreneur and the product of a family business, Linda understands the environment and culture in which executives operate. Most importantly, she is results-oriented and has the experience and skills to facilitate positive change.
Prior to her work as an executive coach, Linda spent more than twenty years leading non-profit organizations. In addition to managing the operations of Quantum Leap Coaching and Training, Linda is president of Managing Partners II, LLC, a Delaware based company that provides coaching, development, and recruitment services to non-profit organizations. She is a member of the International Coach Federation and holds Bachelor and Masters Degrees in education from Kent State University in Ohio. Linda received her certification from the Coaches Training Institute, one of the world’s premier coaching schools.

Mr. Executive Unemployment is a State of Mind
He had had quite a career: senior level management experience in the public and private sector; CEO of a prominent association; General Manager of a large, semi-public agency; and a White House appointment. He never had to look for a position. They came looking for him. Two years ago, while the economy was seemingly still moving ahead full steam, and he felt reasonably assured that his leadership was on track, he ran head first into a firestorm. It was unexpected, unanticipated, and unlike anything he had ever experienced in his career. He was encouraged to leave his beloved agency.

Successful Executives know when to be Still and how to be Receptive

When he retired after more than 30 years, he knew he would use his logistical skills and great talent for managing people to create his own company. It was his dream. His mission?

Why the Surgeon Refused to Operate
“My sixth sense, which I rely on as a surgeon, is telling me that I cannot be certain that surgery will help you. Therefore, I don’t want to do it.” That’s what the doctor told my husband regarding a persistent, long-time leg pain. As a wife, I was disappointed that the cure we thought was in hand, was not to be. As a business owner and someone who studies the habits and thinking processes of our most successful executives, I was thrilled, intrigued, and grateful.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Linda Cassell
Two themes that I developed are prevelent throughout my work:
Exte al change is an internal process
Clean breaks lead to new breaks
That is what I help individuals accomplish: exte al change through a customized internal "mental shift" process and helping folks to make a "clean break" from situations (exte al or internal) that no longer serve them, which lead to "new breaks."
There are many quotes and bodies of thought that continually inspire and renew me. Here are a few:
