When you don’t know what to do next, don’t you wish somebody could help you set a new direction and take the steps to get you where you want to be?

Linda Hardenstein is your discreet and private personal achievement coach.

A strategic thinker Linda has made powerful transitions in her own life -- giving up her career on one coast to start from scratch on another. She knows the courage, fortitude, self-belief and will that it takes to make tough life transitions and carve out out a powerful authentic path to live your dreams.

While working full-time she earned a master’s degree in public administration from the University of San Francisco. A life-long learner she has gone on to achieve an advanced certification in Executive Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University and earned accreditation as a Professional Certified Coach from the International Coach Federation after 750 hours of coaching attorneys and executives.

The Resource for Overworked Business Owners and Executives

Linda has over 25 years of experience working with business owners -- particularly attorneys -- to increase productivity, reclaim their time and energy, and provide peace of mind for their clients resulting in greater profitability and more satisfaction in their careers.

“I put structure to chaos and help people get into action,” she says simply about the services she offers through her business, Hardenstein Consulting LLC, based in her hometown of Pacific Grove, California. An inventor of four software systems, she knows how to create systems that successfully meet user needs and streamline operations. She created Overwhelm Busters®, a popular and highly-rated training program that has benefitted professionals in law firms, bar associations and accounting firms.

Recognized for Building Innovative Programs that Help Organizations Succeed

Linda worked for the National Education Association for 15 years consulting with general counsels throughout the United States to manage the legal services program, streamline operations and improve member services. She was the co-creator of the popular "Mediation for Better Schools Program" that enabled members to peacefully resolve conflicts saving the association attorneys' fees.

As Director of Training and Professional Development at Patton Boggs, LLP, a renowned international 600-attorney firm, she established Patton Boggs University (PBU) for Attorneys and training for managers and staff. She coached hundreds of associates firm-wide to meet employer expectations, achieve promotions, and excel in their careers. In as little as three years PBU for Attorneys was ranked 15th in a national survey of hundreds of firms.

An Expert in Helping Professionals & Individuals Reach Their Goals

An interest in how our physical environments contribute to or detract from our success eventually led Linda to study and achieve certification as a practitioner of the ancient Chinese system of aesthetics known as feng shui. She integrates her knowledge of this Eastern philosophy with Western architecture and applies sensibilities developed from working with hundreds of clients to provide practical, easily-understandible advice. This value-added technique increases your personal power, balances energy, and aligns your goals for greater achievement. She offers courses in this subject and has been sought after by architects to provide advice and consultation.

Linda’s creative integration of a rare combination of skills, experiences on both coasts, and her expertise, provide her clients powerful, practial solutions so they can achieve more of what they want.
