“Linda Sharkey is one of the greatest leadership development professionals and executive coaches I have ever met.”

– Marshall Goldsmith
Best Selling Author and Top Executive Coach

“We specifically chose Linda Sharkey from thought leaders around the world based on her unique, researched, and lived insights about how successful leadership works in the world of multinationals and importantly how it can be developed. Her theory about ‘transglobal leadership’ resonated powerfully with our audience of multinational executives providing them with practical steps for improving their own leadership effectiveness and that of others. She was also a delight to work with.”

– Rich Hirst
Director, International HRD Forum, CEO Forum Group
