Hi, I’m Lynda.
I help mission-driven leaders, teams, and organizations find their way through complexity, change, conflict, and transition.
For more than 15 years, I’ve supported nonprofits, public sector organizations, foundations, and social impact leaders to step back from the urgency of day-to-day work and create the conditions for clearer thinking, stronger relationships, and more aligned action.
At the heart of my work is a simple commitment: to help people and organizations find their way through complexity while staying connected to their purpose, their relationships, and their humanity.
My offerings sit at the intersection of coaching, facilitation, and organizational consulting. I design and host participatory processes that help people surface what matters, make sense of complexity, have honest and effective conversations, and move forward with greater clarity and commitment.
Clients often come to me when they are facing questions that do not have simple answers: how to lead through change, strengthen a team, navigate conflict, deepen equity commitments, clarify roles and decision-making, or create a more intentional path forward. I help groups slow down enough to see what is really happening, listen across difference, and identify practical next steps that are both grounded and meaningful.
I hold a Master’s degree in Human Systems Intervention, am a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation, and am a Certified Executive Coach through Royal Roads University. My approach is also shaped by training in Deep Democracy, polarity management, emotional intelligence, strengths-based leadership, human-centred change, and participatory facilitation.
I was born in Montréal, on the lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation, and now live on the unceded territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. I am a fifth-generation settler of Irish, Scottish, and French descent, grew up in a working-class anglophone family, and am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am always learning more about who I am, how I move through the world, and how I can be of service.
I am also a self-taught artist (check out my work!), an avid reader, and a devoted auntie. I enjoy getting my hands dirty in the garden, camping in the backcountry, hosting dance parties, and nerding out about big ideas and this miraculous experience we call life.
