Linda was FANTASTIC! I’m so protective of the quality of speakers and panelists for our conference. She exceeded my high expectations. Shortly after Linda started the first session, I went upstairs to the back of the theater and sat by one of our board members. The first words out of her mouth were not “good morning”. Instead, she looked at me and pointed to Linda and whispered, “SHE’S THE BOMB!” Thank you so much for helping us to deliver such a top quality conference and for an amazing job well done!

See keynotes with Linda SwindlingTo get the best results, you must know how to ask outrageously. Winning teams, successful organizations and strong friendships have one thing in common – courageous people who ask for what they want. In this keynote, Linda Swindling will teach you how to show up powerfully and ask for what you truly want. There is magic in asking – and it can be a tremendous contribution both to your professional and personal life.
Turn negotiations into a conversation instead of a confrontation;

Reach winning results with integrity and confidence;

Leadership is endless negotiation. If you think about it, a professional’s day is all about negotiating: dealing with clients, controlling costs and working with other departments. In order to be successful, leaders must know how to negotiate effectively. Speaker Linda Swindling designed this topic to give you research-based, proven strategies to help you become a better negotiator and leader.
Harness the power of positive influence, persuasion and negotiation;
Negotiate for the push and pull for resources while building win-win-win partnerships with stakeholders;
Avoid over-committing and unnecessary compromise;
Spot and identify others’ negotiation (DEAL) styles and effectively communicate to create desired, durable outcomes;
Develop meaningful relationships with key people to attract support for ideas; and
Reach winning results with integrity and confidence.
Change is inevitable and it comes from various sources. You may experience new leadership, a change in roles or position, losing someone from your team or having to transform your business. Adding personal challenges on top of this, such as losing a loved one, divorce or even positive things like a marriage or new birth in the family can make it seem like your life is out of control. Still, you often have more control than you realize. Really.
