Linda Miller

Trusted advisor, coach and speaker, Linda was inspired to pursue organizational change and transformation after observing that her “grass-roots-IT” passion for improving the lives of people through information technology was often experienced as crushing overwhelm by those it was intended to empower.
Working to humanize how technology change is conducted over the past 18 years, Linda has developed a methodology for continuous transformation that produces the shifts in thought and organizational paradigms needed to succeed in the hyper-agile ‘Millennium Age’. She offers a balanced, and leading edge perspective to her clients. She is also a board member of the Vancouver Association for Change Management Professionals.
