 Success Just Got Closer


Who I Am…And How I Think I Got That Way…
Having an Italian father and an Irish mother should have been a clue that things were going to be pretty interesting in my life. In fact, my life continues to be a series of dramatic contradictions and extremes, of exquisite highs and painful lows.

The bad news is that I have made a lot of choices that have sent me flying backwards. The good news is that because of them, I have learned a lot about what works and a WHOLE lot about what doesn’t work.

I believe that we are all put on this earth for two reasons:
    1.    To consciously grow and evolve
    2.    To expand our capacity to love

I further believe that my Job (with a capital "J") is to shine a light on the path that I have taken, and to share as much information as I can gather to help others achieve their goals and dreams.

Accordingly, as a student of what makes people successful and happy, there are some aspects I see that I am passionate about sharing with others. So, if I could sum up my message (no matter what my topic!) in a few words, it would be this:

 I believe that in order to succeed we need to do 4 things:
    1.    Wake up. Get conscious. Notice what we are doing
           that isn’t working and make a commitment to learn,
           grow and evolve consciously. Again, the operative
           word is "consciously."

    2.    Take a risk, step outside our comfort zone, get creative, do something
            different and have some fun when we do it.

    3.    Take 100% responsibility for the interpretation we place upon what happens 
            to us in our lives.

    4.    Give back, make a difference, and contribute to others.

My daily goal is to walk my talk. I trust that my presentations are reflective of those 4 things. I’m not above jumping up and down, writing and singing wacky rap songs, and/or getting downright serious and pragmatic, when called for. In order to shake people up, make them laugh and reconnect them with their passion and fun, I’ll step way outside my comfort zone and play in the mud, if I need to.

In short, I want you to accomplish every objective that you have set for yourself and your organization . I welcome the opportunity to contribute to the success of your next conference, work shop or day of training.

Linda’s expertise lies in her ability to help people upgrade their thinking and improve their communication in order to get better quality results, both professionally and personally. Accordingly all of her presentations reside under this umbrella. All of the following presentations are designed to help people learn to think more strategically and communicate more effectively in order to:
  • Improve customer service
  • Upgrade management skills
  • Increase innovation and creativity
  • Heighten skills of persuasion
  • Reduce conflict and negativity
  • Motivate employees
  • Lead ourselves and others more effectively

Dare to Soar!
5 Keys to a Life of Power, Passion and Pizzazz!

 This is one of Linda’s most requested keynote presentations.

4.  How to use their thinking to create the exact emotions, behaviors, and results that they choose

5.  How to take 100% responsibility for their lives – and most importantly – the interpretations they place on what happens to them in their lives

Linda Larsen is not your typical business woman. Yes, she is the founder and CEO of a successful communications company she started over 16 years ago. And as such, she is passionately committed to helping people upgrade their thinking, improve their communication and increase their bottom line. But more than that, she is willing to do whatever it takes to get her message across and make it stick.

Linda’s passion and spontaneous humor stem from over 20 years as a professional actress in film, television and on the legitimate stage. Her experience and training (she holds an undergraduate degree in Behavioral Sciences from the University of Florida and a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Florida State University) give her the unique ability to combine the entertaining, dynamic aspects of live theater with practical, high value content to produce lasting, positive changes.

In 1988 she established her own communications firm and began working exclusively with trial attorneys. As a trial consultant, she continues to provide CLE training for lawyers, helping them communicate more effectively and persuasively in the high stakes, high stress environment of the courtroom.

She is the author of the best selling audio program, 12 Secrets to High Self-Esteem, the critically acclaimed book, True Power, Linda Larsen’s Power Tips on Tape. She has also written or been featured in over 100 articles in such publications as Investor’s Business Daily, The Chicago Tribune, Opportunity World, Women In Business, Woman’s Day, Personal Excellence, CBSHealthWatch.com, MSN.com, and drkoop.com, among others.

She is a member of the National Speakers Association, the American Business Women’s Association, and the American Society of Trial Consultants.
