Linda Clark

What Linda Clark does

Linda Clark Consulting is a solo leadership development and executive coaching practice headquartered in Blairsville, Georgia, operated by founder Linda Clark. The firm delivers executive coaching, structured 7-week leadership development cohorts, keynote speaking, and fractional HR/OD partnerships to leaders and teams across the credit union, agriculture, and public-sector healthcare verticals; named clients include Allegiance Credit Union, Credit Union Service Centers, Farmers' Business Network, and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. Service delivery is anchored on a proprietary, trademarked framework called The Curiosetti Method™ and is supported by the published book "Feral Guideship: A Field Guide for Leaders & Teams," which reached Amazon bestseller status.

The business model combines (i) bespoke 1:1 executive coaching engagements, (ii) cohort-based group programs priced at $1,995-$2,495 per participant for a 7-week experience, (iii) keynote speaking fees, and (iv) fractional HR/OD partnerships, with virtual delivery enabling a geographic footprint that extends well beyond the Georgia base of operations. Over approximately 30 years in practice, the firm reports serving 25,000+ leaders across 250+ engagements, a 4.8/5 client satisfaction rating, and a 70%+ return engagement rate. Revenue mechanics are predominantly fee-for-service consulting income, with the cohort and book/IP lines functioning as productized extensions of the core coaching practice. The model carries inherent key-person concentration risk given that all delivery is tied to the founder-operator.
