Linda Edgecombe, Motivational Speaker

I was out on a walk with Kerzy yesterday and I came across this rose in bloom. It’s November 23rd. Beautiful fall weather, that’s for sure. ☀️

Happy 1st birthday my boy. Lolli loves you.❤️🥰💕

Ignite the sparks of passion by doing what you love, not what others expect you to do. True fulfillment comes when you listen to your heart and follow your own path. It takes courage, but the journey is yours to create. 🔥💖

Thanks to and for pulling my name for this Bad Ass ladies cooler. Which will be very happy in my “Olive That and More”. I’m more than grateful, and excited to use my new cooler. ❤️🙏👏

In this blog I share my inner critic with you during and post-presentation. It’s a doozy! 😛
Even for a seasoned speaker like myself!

We had a great time last night kitchen. We learned how to make Paella a Spanish favorite. It’s was supper fun and delicious!

“Linda’s talk was brilliant today and right on point with the multi generational folks in the room. We’re all busy, and she reminded us to take just 20 minutes a day to take care of ourselves among other invaluable takeaways.”

Happy Birthday to my Daughter #2. Momma sure loves you.❤️

When your daughter is born 3 minutes to Halloween, for the rest of your life every birthday party is a pumpkin carving event. And the only thing that has changed is the prizes have gotten better as the years have gone by. It’s pretty easy to tell who’ pumpkin was a favorite.

I have some really exciting and fun things happening here at ‘The Linda Effect’ Headquarters. For most of the past year I have been working hard at my own personal and professional ‘Re-Boot’ and after many hours of creative sweat, tears and tons of laughter, we have created some amazing new programs, publications, blogs and podcasts, to get you Fired up and Ready to Shift.

Like many of you who had a glimpse of what ‘retirement’ might look like through Covid, I did as well. I worked hard at trying to detach who I am as a person from what I do on stage and I kinda thought, “ya I can see it.” But as soon as my butt got back on a stage in front of you my in person audiences, I yelled out, NFW – you can figure that out. I love me a good swearing acronym. 😂

I simply just love what I do, I love the new content, I love seeing the look in your eyes when you have an ‘ah-ha’ moment, and I simply just love to see everyone laughing. It feeds my soul. Simple as that. So with that, I decided I’m going to, lean into the mirror, and give myself and my work a good make over.

I look forward to your feedback and I’m excited about the possibility to work with you again.

If you think I’d be a good fit for your team or association, and you want them to experience The Linda Effect, check out my new website 🙏🏻 (link in bio).

A day dedicated to elevation and inspiration.
In 1968 Virginia Slims came out with their now famous “You’ve come a long way baby” slogan which became the symbol for women’s rights in the 60's (or at least the right to smoke skinny ci******es!). The truth is women and girls have in fact come a long way in the last 55 years however this progress has not eradicated bonded child slavery, human trafficking, gender discrimination and financial inequality - especially in developing countries.
We can do something about this.
Education is a key factor in poverty and risk reduction. $425.00 gives a scholarship to a girl to go to school AND her mother to attend vocational training for a year.
This elevates HER. Which elevates HER family. Which elevates HER future.
Together we can change the stories for women and children and ourselves.
Join us for an inspired evening of education, inspiration and empowerment with international speakers Linda Edgecombe and Hugh Culver and the musical stylings of Ellen Churchill. Champage welcome, wine, appies and of course, PIE will be served with proceeds going to HER International (Nepal) and the Child Advocacy Centre (Kelowna).
Let's do something great! Together we can make a difference!

Please join me for Elevate HER November 15th 🙏 - https://mailchi.mp/lindaedgecombe.com/please-join-me-for-elevate-her-november-15th

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the courage to stand strong in the face of the unknown. It's the willingness to step into uncharted territory with a heart full of hope and the determination to overcome any obstacle. It's the freedom to be your true self, to push boundaries, and to chase your dreams without fear of stumbling along the way. So, let's walk boldly, for it is in our audacious steps that we discover our true strength and unleash our full potential. 🚀💪✨

Have you heard of the Canadian charity called ?

My approach to business is based on social responsibility. This is why I am an avid supporter of Her International, a Kelowna-based charity that empowers marginalized women and girls in Canada and Nepal, through education and sustainable community development.

For the past 16 years, I have sold scarves at every event I speak at, raising money to help marginalized girls and women in Nepal and Canada through Her International.

This wonderful charity has given out over 3,100 scholarships to girls and educated 1,200 mothers in literacy and numeracy skills through a microcredit life skills program.

Team work makes the dream work isn’t just a saying it’s a fact. When dividing responsibilities among a group it leads to better outcomes than if you did it alone.

Humour is the great equalizer, reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously. It fosters empathy, diffuses tension, and encourages dialogue. When those in power lack humor, they become rigid, intolerant, and often make decisions that harm rather than help.

Let's remember that true strength lies in the ability to laugh at ourselves, to see the absurdity in life, and to empathize with others. Humour keeps power in check and ensures it serves the greater good. 🤣❤️ "

A few days in Ubud Bali. When you step off the busy streets, you really can find the Zen. Amazing people, cool coffee shops, and exceptional food. Add in family and friends and a ton of laughs. It’s PDG!

I’ve been researching, speaking, and writing about change resilience at work and at home for over 30 years. I’ve created some simple and powerful tools to bring people out of the state of overwhelm and exhaustion. These tools teach how to re-connect to what’s really important to you professionally and personally so you can show up every day and thrive 🙌🏼!

I’d love to speak about change resilience at your next conference.

I’d love your feedback too 😍

Procrastination is usually a result of feeling overwhelmed by a task or project so by tackling small tasks that take only a couple of minutes, you can sometimes build momentum by creating a sense of accomplishment.

I will admit, sometimes those pesky small tasks end up taking up the entire day and that bigger project gets pushed aside but boy do I ever feel accomplished! 😀

Effective leaders not only inspire and motivate their team but also give them a platform to share their unique insights and innovative approaches that work for the benefit of the organization or group as a whole. In essence, leadership involves fostering collaboration, trust, and open communication, allowing the collective brilliance of the team to shine and drive success.

Multitasking. Crib tournament and feeing your 9 month old baby.

True leadership begins within. Before guiding others, we must embark on a journey of personal growth – nurturing authenticity, resilience, and empathy. This self-discovery not only strengthens us but sets a powerful example for our teams.

By cultivating our own growth, we create an environment where others can flourish.

This is what made me happy today. I saw a recipe for dill pickle soup on tictok and said . Hell yes, my favorite food is and all I had today

Down side is no one is home to say hell yeahh Linda that delish. But believe me… it’s -ing GREAT. Who wants some?

With all that’s going on in the world I wanted to blog about what a resilient leader does when life hands you lemons. 🍋

A resilient leader thrives amidst challenges by embracing adaptability, transparent communication, and a solution-focused mindset.

They lead by example, offer support, and encourage growth, turning setbacks into stepping stones for success.
