with her team, they cumulatively have over fifty years of experience in

Curriculum design and Training.
Linda is expert in all functional areas of human resources
and organizational development from both her experience
“in-house” and her many years of work as a professional consultant. She has special emphasis in OD and HR program design, executive and
management search, organizational assess
ments, leadership coaching, problem resolution, investigations, strategic
and tactical planning, facilitation, Board development, training program
design & delivery, search, and interventions. She consults at the strategic
level and she rolls up her sleeves in hands-on implementation.
Newcastle Consulting clients include both public sector and
private sector, not-for-profit and for profit, union and non-union
environments, large national and small start up environments across a
range of industries. We encourage you to browse the
list of clientele and
comments from organizations Linda has
worked with.
Many customers return year after year. These relationships
are built on Linda’s abilities and the abilities of her team of
Associates to work through highly complex “people issues.” Although
they bring best practices and their considerable experience to each
assignment, they have an uncanny ability to assess their
client’s needs and adapt their approach to what works best for each
client.
Linda’s team has bachelor and masters level degrees,
professional certification, and highly developed expertise in
compensation, organizational development, search, employee relations,
business analysis, communication skills and just plain good judgment.
Based both in the Puget Sound area and remote locations, these Newcastle
Consulting Associates are available when needed on client projects.
Linda has been married for twenty years to a wonderful
partner, they have three thriving kids, and they live in Newcastle. She
graduated with honors from Gonzaga University with a degree in
Psychology and English. She took her Masters in Social Work and Human
Services with honors from Eastern Washington University. She is a
tireless advocate for education, serving on leadership teams, in
fundraising, and as a political activist. She is an
active member of her community and her profession,
a regular public
speaker, and
serves on the Board
and as a committee chair for St. Andrew’s Housing Group, a leading
affordable housing agency on the eastside.
