Speaker Bio

Linda Swindling is a highly-sought keynote speaker and expert covering such topics as workplace culture, business, negotiation, strategy, leadership, and communication. She is a best-selling author, consultant, media pundit, and thought-leader who has spoken at many conferences around the world where she gives leaders the skills they need to deal with fast, big changes in society, the workplace, and schools.

Linda Swindling is hired to speak at events and conferences where she can give expertise on important global business affairs. She is the CEO of Journey On, a professional development company in Dallas that offers executive coaching, speaking, training, and consulting.

As a skilled lawyer and mediator, Linda’s first job was to discuss workplace communication and employment issues. In 2000, Linda quit her ten-year job as a lawyer and her business arrangement to focus on Journey On, a company that helps people improve their careers. Linda also ran Journey On and worked for Vistage for five years. Vistage is the best organization for CEO development. As chair, she gave advice and guidance to CEOs and other top executives, both one-on-one and in groups.

Linda helps leaders build business relationships, increase sales opportunities, increase their ability to be listened to and understood, and find the confidence and courage to ask for what they want, even if it seems crazy.

Linda’s experiences in court and the boardroom have given her first-hand knowledge of how to negotiate outcomes. Linda worked as an attorney for ten years. During that time, she became a partner, closed several deals worth millions of dollars, and solved problems that “couldn’t be settled.” She also became well-known in the Texas legal world as a mediator. Linda has a law degree, but she also went to the Attorney-Mediators Institute, the Harvard/MIT Program on Negotiation, and the A.A. White Dispute Resolution Center at The University of Houston to learn how to negotiate. Linda also worked for the CEO development organization Vistage for five years. As a Chair at Vistage, she advised CEOs and other top executives one-on-one and in groups of peers.

Linda is a fun keynote speaker and facilitator who teaches useful lessons in the workplace. Her writing results from over 20 years of hard work and original research, and she won’t make up stories or theories based on the books she has read. You will learn to use strategies that lead to new solutions and long-term benefits.

Linda is certified in the RAMP method, the CORE MAP exam, and the ToPS facilitator role. She is a Board Certified Coach and a Certified Speaking Professional, and she is one of the Top 30 Global Negotiation Experts for 2020.
