On Linda’s business coaching:
“Linda Oglov has truly ‘walked the walk’ unlike many people who just talk a good game. Linda has advised top business and community leaders on strategic business initiatives and has been sought for her counsel on a wide variety of emerging issues. Such qualities are often talked about but seldom truly found in an individual.”
George Madden, Partner
Pinton Forrest & Madden
(Executive Search Firm)
“I had an instant sense of connection with Linda, which is essential in a coaching relationship. Linda has the unique ability to bring clarity without being prescriptive. Her experience in large organizations as well as being an entrepreneur is extremely helpful in the perspective she provides. Most importantly, she understands who I am and what's important to me - this is why she's so effective as a coach.”

On Linda’s “Life Before and After the Games” workshop:
“Thanks Linda – have heard nothing but very positive feedback about the session, sounds like you hit it out of the park… It was extremely worthwhile and a real eye-opener, not just for the newer members of our team, but even the veterans who’ve notched-up a few Olympic Games experiences… refreshingly candid, and able to gently dig below the surface to expose those issues that really need to be discussed.”
Steven Keith, Director Olympic Activation
Suncor Inc
“The most effective and enjoyable in-service training program for our staff in the past four years was conducted by Linda Oglov. Every staff member valued the group and individual sessions with her, and most importantly, felt Linda could really provide insight into their own unique personal issues. Linda’s ability to give work experience examples, her mature insight and her ability to listen carefully and focus discussions were exceptional.”
Dr. Roger Jackson,
CEO, Own the Podium 2010
