Through Linda’s expert guidance, I now understand and celebrate the possibility of possibilities in both my life and my business. In just 4 short months, I learned to set clear intentions for the things I truly wanted and to be relaxed about them.
I am now enjoying a greatly improved financial situation, in fact my income increased by 250% percent! In addition, I created a well received new product, received several orders from the Museum of Modern Art for one of my more unique products and was even able to afford to hire help.
Hiring help has given me more time for the more creative aspects of my business and more time for myself. I started a home de-cluttering project, began redecorating, joined a Runner’s Club and am socializing and just enjoying my life so much more. When challenges come up I am able to use the principles I’ve now learned to handle them with confidence and grace.
Linda taught me to celebrate my little daily accomplishments, which feels great, and has created a ripple effect of good things in all areas of my life. In fact, I feel so abundant in my life and my business I have just booked a long postponed vacation. I leave for Amsterdam and Paris in just 3 weeks! I am so grateful to Linda for giving me the tools to create my ideal life.

Before working with Linda DeCarlo, I felt overwhelmed in my business. My To Do list seemed to be growing by the day and I really didn’t know what to focus on to help my business grow. I was flitting from one thing to another and never feeling like I was accomplishing much.
After working with Linda for only one month I now have clear sense of direction. She helped me make a huge shift in perception from working “in” my business to working “on” my business. I now know exactly what I need to be doing, in what order, and I’m completing my tasks with much more focus and ease than I ever had before. Because of this shift, I have also hired the help I need to free me from spending time on energy sapping tasks to those tasks that will help me reach my business goals.
It’s been less than a month since working with Linda, but my business is now growing at a faster pace than it was in the previous 12 months. Plus, I’m not just attracting more clients; I’m attracting more of the kind of clients I want to work with. Rather than feeling overwhelmed every day, I feel joy and newfound excitement with my business. I would recommend Linda DeCarlo to anyone who wants to clarify their goals, grow their business and have fun while doing it.
-Diane O’Connell, Editorial Director, Write To Sell Your Book, LLCWhen I went into my consult with Linda, I was unfocused, and my brain felt scrambled. Linda helped me to see my goals by walking me through some amazing exercises. It put everything in focus, and I finally was able to see the sunshine.
The consult was only one hour and it made the world of difference. It felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I left with lessons I knew I could apply to my life should I ever go back to feeling the lack of direction I felt before.
I highly recommend Linda to anyone who would like to get a clear focus and sense of direction quickly and easily.

Linda has made a huge difference in my life and my business. I went to her with my most challenging goal. Together we pinpointed a few areas to focus on, and after committing to one area and taking the steps she suggested, I had a breakthrough. Because of Linda, I discovered what my business needed in order to grow. This has resulted in an expansion of my services, meeting more client needs and most importantly providing quality client attention.
-Jessica Perilla, JPDStudio
“My consultation with Linda was AMAZING; my focus has shifted from negativity to inspiration and gratitude. I feel joyful and giddy knowing that I am taking steps towards my most challenging goal. Thank you for your insights and encouragement, I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you!

In just one session with Linda DeCarlo, I felt more positive about my prospects for growing my business. Linda helped steer my thinking toward viewing my search for clients as a process. Rather than saying, “I have no clients” I started to say “I am in the process of finding new clients.” Simple? It made all the difference in the world as to how I viewed my situation. I now have three clients! She also helped me change my focus from concern re: my abilities, to remembering just how good I am at what I do, how long I’ve done it, and all the accolades and successes I’ve had. So, thank you Linda!
-Karen Gaynin, Gaynin Public Relations
Linda, thanks for much for everything! For many years, I felt overwhelmed by stress and life and found myself at the bottom of a well. The coaching was very helpful to me - it gave me insight into my own self perpetuating behaviors and introduced me to a new perspective of myself. It’s allowing me to be open to new ideas about myself as well as others. I have already begun to challenge my beliefs and my thoughts and am constantly making an effort to inspire the positive in myself – which will naturally lead to fostering it in others! Your professionalism and empathy vs. sympathy is a winning combination and allows for a nurturing and supportive environment to explore the foundations that I have built in my life and assumptions on; your calm, purposeful, loving guidance makes it easy to see what is bringing positivity into my life, what is not working, and how to start to change!!! The inspiration to set goals that are built on my dreams and a practical means to assess those dreams and attain those goals has been illuminating for me, and given me the sparkle of hope that I needed to get out of my rut and take things forward in my life. Thanks for everything and much continued success to you! I look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.

“After having been invited to speak at a top university in NYC, I suddenly became very nervous and afraid to fail. I reached out to Linda for guidance and support because of our very successful work together with her as my coach. Within a matter of days, Linda had designed a customized retreat to help me develop a bulletproof presentation. Not sure what to expect from the retreat, the session equipped me with the structure, framework and approach to formulate a very thorough and captivating presentation. Linda helped me think through the sequence of material and offered numerous invaluable suggestions to refine my presentation that covers all the vital components of an effective, persuasive, and informative talk. The information in the presentation can also be repurposed in the form of a blog, book, podcast, article, etc. Linda’s guidance on delivery, from the opening to the closing, gave me the confidence to calmly deliver a power and engaging presentation to an audience full of bright MBA students. The comments on the evaluations were overwhelmingly positive, with the instructor rating being a perfect score. As a result of the successful event, I’ve been invited back to speak again to a larger group in the fall. Thanks Linda, I don’t know how I would have done this without you.”
