Welcome!

After a career—first as a VP of Training & Organizational Development at Citigroup and then as the CEO of my own business—I was confronted with a major derailment. I lost my business partner and husband.

Although I had coached executives, designed training programs, and facilitated business meetings on subjects such as managing change, innovation, leadership, and decision-making, when I applied these principles to rebuilding my life, they failed. Traditional advice from experts failed. I knew doing more of the same would create similar results. I rebelled, stepped out-of-character and did what’s least expected of a grieving widow. I signed up for a 2,500-mile motorcycle road trip down America’s Pacific Northwest coast, although I had never ridden anything more powerful than a bicycle and had less than a month to learn to ride a motorcycle.

The trip turned out to be the needed antidote for ennui. I learned to trust myself and focus on the joy of the day-to-day journey. The trip changed me in many ways. I launched a new business—Linda Crill Enterprises—as a speaker, writer, and facilitator.

I’ve written a soon-to-be published memoir titled Blind Curves about my motorcycle adventure and launched a blog. I now speak and write about heading into the unknown for answers and share lessons learned on how to:

• Move forward when nothing feels right,
• Open doors formerly labeled “Not Me,”
• Reinvent yourself by erasing old boundaries, and
• Discover zest for life.
