Linda Evans is a Career Coach who helps people gain greater clarity and confidence in their careers by aligning their strengths, values, and interests in a cohesive personal brand.

My Approach

I use a unique combination of coaching, consulting, and counseling (see About page for credentials) that is highly tailored to each client's needs:

  • Coaching to clarify goals, plan steps forward, and uphold accountability.

  • Consulting to teach best practices, introduce resources, and give advice.

  • Counseling to process emotions, increase self-awareness, and create meaning.

For more details, see my blog post “What is Coaching vs. Counseling vs. Consulting?”

My Services FAQ

  • I offer 2 broad services through 1:1 coaching:

    • CLARITY: knowing who you are, what you want, and how to achieve it by becoming aware of your interests, values, and strengths. (The opposite of feeling lost or confused)

      • i.e.: “Should I stay in my career or change it?” or “I want to change my career but I don’t know what’s next.”

    • CONFIDENCE: trusting in your ability to successfully handle any task or situation by focusing on your unique strengths, adjusting your mindset, and learning and practicing new skills. (The opposite of feeling anxious or insecure)

      • Ex: “I know I’m supposed to use LinkedIn to network but I don’t know how.” Or “I have some interviews coming and I feel super nervous.”

Research shows we significantly improve our confidence, satisfaction, and success when we focus on our strengths rather than our weaknesses.
