Meet Linda Terry
ICF Accredited Coach
I work with scientific team leaders to help them become confident managers so that they can focus on the work they love.
I have worked in academia, the scientific civil service and in the pharmaceutical industry for the last 4 decades.
I know when I was a team leader how hard it was to learn the skills to build effective teams. I didn’t get the support I needed.
I can be your support.
Many years in scientific leadership means I understand where you are, in that tug of war trying to stay relevant as an expert while fending off all the other demands on your time and energy.
I won’t be selling you workshops, management courses or positive affirmations.
But what I will offer is time devoted just to you, 100% customised to support your growth and success.
But I learned
Infuriatingly, those who rise to the top are infrequently endowed with natural leadership skills.
All too often they are promoted based on their reputation as a great scientist.
In fact only 10% of us are naturally skillful in leadership.
What is worse, too many have no incentive to get better.
You’ve probably been at the mercy of leaders like this in the past.
In fact, you’re now wondering if you need to be an arsehole to become a leader. Or wonder if perhaps giving people the leader title makes them an arsehole.
However, you want to be different.
As you make your way up the ladder you don’t want to be that manager who squashes the motivation and the passion for the work out of your team.
Linda is a very intuitive coach and very professional based on experience, respect, and a true interest in what you want to work on. I highly recommend Linda as a coach.
David, NL
