ABOUT ME
High-performing leaders rarely stall because of capability. They stall because of how they operate—how they make decisions, communicate under pressure, navigate competing priorities, and influence the people who matter most.
I work at the intersection of leadership strategy, executive development, and performance, partnering with organizations and leaders to close the gap between potential and impact. My work spans strategic advisory, executive coaching, communication development, and organizational alignment, with a focus on changing how leaders actually operate—not simply how they present.
Through my work in Decision Architecture™, I examine the conditions that shape consequential decisions: what information reaches the room, whose perspective carries weight, where communication breaks down, and what happens when pressure, uncertainty, and competing interests enter the system.
My clients have included leaders and teams at Genentech, Meta, Google, TED, and Amgen. Whether I’m designing scalable leadership development programs, coaching executives through critical transitions, preparing leaders for high-stakes communication, or facilitating complex conversations, the throughline is the same: creating measurable, lasting change in how people lead, decide, and influence across organizations.
I’ve been navigating waves my whole life, literally and metaphorically. That experience has taught me to notice subtle patterns in behavior, communication, and group dynamics—and to work with complexity without forcing premature answers. My path has taken me across continents and disciplines, from studying multiple yogic lineages in India and sitting silent Vipassana retreats to learning from Sufi teachers and participating in Peruvian ceremonial traditions. These experiences inform the grounded attention I bring to my work, particularly when leaders are navigating uncertainty, conflict, or change.
Outside of work, I’m usually traveling, plotting a road trip, doing improv or acting, dancing somewhere, or recording an idea into my phone before it disappears. I’m endlessly curious about people: what we notice, what we miss, how we make meaning, and what becomes possible when we pay closer attention.
That curiosity sits underneath everything I do.

Executive & Organizational Coaching
Lynda partners with executives, founders, and organizational leaders navigating moments where the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t always obvious—leadership transitions, consequential decisions, difficult conversations, organizational friction, and high-visibility communication.
Her work combines executive coaching, strategic advisory, communication development, and conflict resolution. Rather than treating leadership challenges in isolation, Lynda helps leaders understand the larger system around them: how they make decisions under pressure, how information moves, how others experience their leadership, and where misalignment may be limiting their effectiveness.
With more than 16 years of experience developing leaders, Lynda has coached and trained executives and teams across industries and has worked with more than 60 TED and TEDx speakers. Her background includes advanced training in negotiation and mediation through Harvard, along with extensive experience facilitating conversations across differences through Braver Angels.
Engagements are tailored to the leader and the challenge, from ongoing executive coaching and strategic advisory to focused intensives for high-stakes communication, conflict, and critical leadership moments.
Areas of focus include:
● Executive coaching and strategic advisory
● Leadership communication and executive presence
● High-stakes speaking and presentation development
● Decision-making under pressure and uncertainty
● Conflict, negotiation, and difficult conversations
● Stakeholder alignment and organizational effectiveness
