Testimonials

“A very powerful, relevant message that we can all learn from. Appreciate you caring enough to speak loudly about this topic, and your commitment to making this world a better place.”

“Thank you so much for sharing your TEDx talk on the healing power of gratitude with us. I really enjoyed it - especially knowing the beautiful story of your sister and the deep gratitude you've continued to share on her behalf. You've inspired me to do more of this work in 2023.”

“As an executive coach, Linda has a gift of listening to others, acknowledging their thoughts and perspectives, and, adapting to the almost daily change initiatives we were dealing with.”

“Thank you for your leadership. Please know you are making a difference with this group of nurses! We walk out of the board room recharged, brimming with gratitude and smiles. As their leader, I am seeing changes in how they approach situations and focus on gratitude.”

“The COVID-19 pandemic has left healthcare staff stressed, isolated and uncertain about the future. Add to the losses we’ve suffered the constant need to present ourselves as more “okay” than we really feel. Linda’s program, Gratitude Heals During Times of Isolation and Uncertainty was helpful to our nursing home community which needed that change in perspective to see although we have been through a lot there was a lot to be grateful towards.”

“NDP was enriched by the insights into the health and well-being of practicing gratitude that Linda shared. She provided specific techniques and strategies that our faculty and staff could use both personally and within their classrooms. It is only fitting that our theme for the 2021-22 school year is “With Grateful Hearts”. We continue to practice gratitude at NDP. “

In 2020, Linda presented “The Power of Gratitude to Heal Our Hearts, Minds and Bodies” as a keynote session of a recognition conference for all the nurses in my large healthcare system. Linda creatively and elegantly wove the latest neuroscience on the power of gratitude through a series of powerful examples that was poignantly relative to frontline nurses. Applying science to gratitude and the impact on our ability to manage constant change and ongoing uncertainty spoke volumes to myself and my colleagues, especially during the very trying times of a pandemic. As a nurse leader, I continue to reflect on Linda’s presentation and utilize her resources to keep myself grounded in the power of gratitude as I strive to support my team to be their best selves and do their best work during an especially trying time.
