Linda started to talk before the age of one and soon after started asking questions, and asking questions, and asking questions. This intense curiosity and constant gathering of information never went away. Much of the information gained found its way into stories.

Storytelling has been the key to Linda's communication success from Plum Grove, the one room school she attended in first grade, to State Farm Insurance, a Fortune 500 company where she was the caretaker of creativity.

As Assistant Vice President, she was responsible for designers, writers, producers, directors, photographers, and technical experts who developed communication solutions for nearly 70,000 employees, 16,000 agents, and millions of customers.

Her unique understanding of communication and the power of storytelling is a result of her experience as a graphic designer, writer, and leader of creative groups. No matter what the delivery format: speeches, videos, multimedia, print, events, or one-on-one conversations, Linda will show you how to find the perfect combination of fact and story to produce the results you need.
