MAKING CHOICES... MAKING CHANGES

Progressing in our personal and professional lives involves making considered choices and implementing change.


Whether you want to be 'at the top of your game', cope with the conflicting priorities of work and family, build your book of business, take a detour from your existing career path, develop your leadership skills or 'break into' your field - through confidential conversations I can support your exploration of choice and commitment to change.


My practice supports clients in expanding the range of possibilities, ideas and choices for their personal and professional lives. Our process translates 'choices into action'. Action will look very different for different clients. For some, it may mean achieving specific goals or taking a different path and, for others, performing at a more effective level or integrating new practices and habits.


My work is informed by my 30-year corporate legal career, executive coach training at Columbia University, public and private board experience, and deep commitment to my family and community. I have extensive personal experience with making choices and changes.

LINDA PARSONS, Q.C.

I practiced corporate law for over 25 years and, as a senior partner at a national law firm, was recognized by Best Lawyers in Canada as a "leading lawyer" in four separate practice categories and was appointed Queen's Counsel in 2008. I received my executive coach certification from Columbia University in 2014.


Throughout my legal career I encountered many challenging choices and changes and benefited from the guidance of many wonderful mentors and coaches. My coaching practice is designed to support my clients as they navigate their own challenging choices and changes.
