Dr Thomas has been coaching in Asia since 2012. He brings over two decades of leadership as a US military officer and years of teaching at major universities, in addition to his coaching experience in Asia. For 21 years he served as a strategist in the United States Air Force, retiring in 2010 as a Lieutenant Colonel. His career saw him start as a nuclear operations commander near the end of the Cold War before transitioning to a focus on complex operations such as peacekeeping, counterterrorism, and humanitarian assistance. He developed much of the Air Force's new strategy for the post-Cold War VUCA (Volatile - Uncertain - Complex - Ambiguous) environment, and was able to put those strategies into practice during challenging deployments to Macedonia, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. During his career he spent 7 years as a professor at the United States Air Force Academy, where he taught strategic studies and political science as he helped develop the incoming leaders for the Air Force. His final assignment, in the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon, saw him work primarily on a humanitarian mission with governments in Southeast Asia. Moving to Asia at the start of 2012, he spent 3 years as the Executive Advisor for CEB Corporate Leadership Council. In this role he advised Chief HR Officers from Asia-based multinationals in industries such as banking, telecom, hospitality, airlines, retail, government, international development, and more, in a dozen markets throughout the region. He then went on to found his own leadership coaching and training company, Designing Leaders, where he worked with leaders at all levels, from those taking on their first leadership role to those in the C-suite. Stepping back into the corporate world, he worked for The Economist Group as a geopolitical advisor to C-suite leaders in Singapore and Malysia, and later spent 3 years leading excutive development and onboarding for Amazon Web Services in Asia-Pacific. In addition to Singapore, he has also lived in Bangkok and Manila. Dr Thomas holds a PhD in Public Policy, with a focus on organizational culture and organizational change, as well as an MBA and a bachelor's degree in economics. In addition to teaching at the Academy, he was a professor at Georgetown University in Washington DC, where he taught graduate courses on Data Analysis for HR and on Multinational Business Policy, and served as an advisor in the program's Capstone course. He also taught as a Fulbright Scholar at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, leading a graduate seminar on strategic culture. He is a Certified Professional Coach, accredited by the World Coach Institute. He focuses on the concept of Sustainable Leadership, helping leaders create an environment that sustains their organization's growth and that creates a culture where leadership turnover does not disrupt that growth. He finds that many clients benefit from the GROW model (Goal - Reality - Options - Will) of coaching, though he tailors the approach to the needs of each individual. His coaching practice has included leaders who are: - taking on a leadership role for the first time - preparing for their next leadership opportunity - leading a temporary project - experiencing, or planning for, organizational changes Beyond the workplace, he is an international marathoner, and one of the few people in the world to complete The Marathon Grand Slam: running a marathon on all 7 continents and at the North Pole. Having only started running at age 42, he learned the value of taking on new goals (and new risks) no matter one's age. His book,  CROSS THE LINES, shares lessons from that journey that support professional development, and he incorporates his athletic experience - along with his military, academic, and corporate backgrounds - to create the foundation for his coaching approach. With his diverse background, he works comfortably with a wide range of clients, and with leadership experience of his own in high-risk, complex situations, he is able to stand in the shoes of others and see things clearly from a leader's perspective. Using techniques from his classroom experience and his corporate advisory work, he helps clients discover solutions for themselves that will be best for their own unique situations.

I am an accomplished leader with over 20 years of experience in people management, consulting, and coaching, complemented by a strong foundation in strategy, digital transformation and marketing. Throughout my career, I have cultivated a passion for developing talent and fostering personal and professional growth within diverse teams and organizations. My journey has spanned various industries, including technology, media, banking, telecommunications, and FMCG, equipping me with the adaptability and insights to work effectively with individuals at all levels, from junior employees to senior executives. My career began at Google, where I gained invaluable expertise in online advertising, campaign management, and delivering impactful training as a presenter for Google University. This experience laid the groundwork for my interest in technology-driven solutions and innovation. I then transitioned into leadership roles, serving as Head of Digital Products for France's leading SME communication agency. In this role, I developed product management strategies, spearheaded digital transformation initiatives, and drove cross-functional collaboration to meet evolving market demands. Over the next decade, I divided my time between consulting and leading strategic roles within global organizations. As a consultant in change management, I partnered with organizations to design and implement tailored transformation strategies, supporting teams and leaders in adapting to new ways of working and organizational shifts. I then transitioned into a leadership role as Head of Marketing and Communication for Nestlé Begilux, where I oversaw comprehensive marketing strategies, drove digital transformation initiatives, and led a diverse team to execute impactful campaigns. These experiences provided me with a unique blend of external advisory expertise and internal operational leadership, enhancing my ability to navigate complex organizational dynamics and drive measurable outcomes. In parallel with my leadership and consulting career, I pursued my passion for coaching and personal development. After completing company-sponsored leadership training programs, I earned my Professional Certified Coach (PCC) accreditation through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This certification has been transformative, enabling me to deliver impactful coaching to individuals and teams over the past five years. Through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, and team workshops, I have supported professionals in achieving career transitions, developing leadership skills, and realizing their full potential.

I believe in fostering reflective conversations that unlock individual and collective insights, empowering clients to navigate challenges and seize opportunities with confidence. Whether facilitating team alignment or providing on-demand, strategic advice, my goal is to adapt to the unique needs of every client and drive transformative outcomes. Beyond my professional endeavors, I am deeply interested in psychology, personal growth, and how people learn and evolve. This interest has fueled my commitment to creating environments where individuals and teams can thrive.

I partner with leaders who are technically strong and successful — yet know that to operate at the next level, they must lead with greater clarity, confidence, and influence. As an ICF-Credentialed Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with over 8 years of coaching experience, and more than 20 years in senior finance leadership roles — including Chief Financial Officer — I bring both coaching depth and real-world executive perspective into my work. My coaching is grounded in the realities leaders face: competing priorities, organizational politics, cross-cultural teams, and the pressure to deliver results while leading people well. Having worked closely with executive teams across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the US, I understand the nuances of leadership across cultures and contexts. Clients value my ability to create a safe, trusting space while also offering thoughtful challenge — helping them expand self-awareness, reframe perspectives, and take purposeful action aligned with their values and goals. If you are a leader seeking to strengthen your leadership presence, influence key stakeholders, and lead with greater impact in complex environments, I would be glad to partner with you.

My career story is all about finding my way, helping others, and following my passion. It started in the world of Recruitment, where I learned the ropes of hiring, interviewing, and creating standout resumes. These were the skills that would shape my future. Then, a big moment came when I decided to move to Canada. It was like starting from scratch. The job market was new to me, and I didn’t have the contacts or know-how to navigate it. Job interviews felt like uncharted territory, and I had so many questions about how things worked in Canada. After some hard work and persistence, I landed a job at the same big company I’d worked for in Italy. It was a chance to learn the ins and outs of how Canadian employers hire, and my passion for helping others find their way in their careers kept growing. However, life threw me a curveball when I was laid off. In this uncertain time, I turned to an employment counselor for guidance. Their support inspired me to focus on helping people find the right career for them. My journey eventually led me to the UBC Sauder School of Business. I started in an admin role, but my dedication didn’t go unnoticed. Within a year, I was promoted to be a Career Coach. For 11 years, I helped students prepare for the job market and develop their careers in Canada. It’s here that I found my true calling, guiding and supporting countless individuals. In 2020, I became a certified ICF Professional Coach. During the pandemic, I took a big step and started my own career coaching business. My aim was to share everything I had learned with individuals and organizations who want to grow and change. This was a new chapter, one that allowed me to reach even more people on their journey to find the right career and make a big impact in their lives. My experiences have shaped me into a compassionate and experienced career coach, dedicated to assisting individuals in unlocking their full potential.

Senior Coach for Analytical Minds who Want to crack their own code Available Worldwide | English, Dutch & German | INSEAD-Trained & Extensively Certified Is this your employee? Brilliant analytical mind. Excellent technical skills. Recently promoted to leadership role. But... - Always ends up taking responsibility for everything—can't delegate effectively - Struggles with "difficult conversations"—avoids conflict or comes across too harsh - Gets triggered by certain team members in ways that seem irrational - Excellent at solving business problems but can't figure out why team dynamics keep going wrong - Team engagement surveys show low trust and psychological safety scores - High performers on their team are starting to disengage or leave If you're nodding yes, I'm the coach you need. What Makes Me Different I specialize exclusively in very highly educated, cognitive professionals—MBAs, PhDs, advanced degree holders, strategic thinkers—brilliant minds who've been promoted based on intellectual excellence but struggle when human emotions enter the equation. Traditional coaching feels too vague for these minds. They need to understand the "why" behind their reactions before they can implement the "how" to change them. My Approach Your analytical leader needs to understand something before they can work with it. The leadership patterns they learned early in life are the same ones creating workplace challenges today—but once they see these patterns, they can consciously choose different responses. Every highly educated professional is unique, so our work together is too. We work at the speed their mind operates. They'll understand the patterns they're living, why they developed, and how to consciously choose different responses. I also provide evidence-based assessments (DISC, EQi 2.0) that give them concrete data to work with. The result: They maintain their intellectual strengths while developing the interpersonal effectiveness needed for senior leadership. Perfect For Your Organization When You Have: Technical Leaders Promoted to People Management - Engineers, data scientists, analysts who excel at systems but struggle with the human side of leadership. High-Potential Executives Hitting Invisible Ceilings - Leaders whose advancement is blocked by interpersonal patterns they can't solve analytically. Teams with Persistent Dysfunction - When reorganization and new processes haven't resolved underlying team conflicts. Client Results "Once Linda helped me see the underlying pattern, I could choose different responses. My team's engagement scores went from 3.2 to 4.6 in six months." - Engineering Director, Tech Company "Learning to create boundaries transformed both my performance and my team's independence." - VP Operations, Manufacturing Why This Works I speak their language. I explain how emotions work, why patterns develop, and give them concrete tools for change. No touchy-feely approaches—just systematic methodology that appeals to logical thinkers. I understand from personal experience. I had to figure out my own patterns the hard way. Now I help analytical leaders avoid that long, difficult journey.
