I was introduced to Lyndal in 2022 and have since been working with her as my executive coach. Not only has she helped me in my personal/professional growth, she has also been working with several of my team members. And there is not one instance where either myself or my team members have not become better versions of ourselves. And when an executive coach feels like an internal full-time team member then you know you are destined to continued collaboration. I’m eternally grateful for Lyndal’s commitment to the Qcify team.

~ R. Peeters, Founder & CEO, QCIFY

Lyndal has an AMAZING background working with blue chip organizations. She has seen it all. She is an outstanding listener and provides concise and practical suggestions and solutions… I couldn’t wait for my sessions with Lyndal as we got to resolutions and action plans… It was much different and better than I expected or could hope for.
