Your stories were really inspiring and I loved what you had to say. During your presentation you gave us a piece of advice that had never occurred to me before, that we have to make change work for us not against us. You also talked about how most overseas business ventured fail because people cannot adapt to their new surroundings. Your presentation about the Adapter Factor has really changed my mind on my doubt and made me feel more confident of my future adventures.

All I can say is that Linda is amazing! She brings a wealth of experience and expertise to her work with organizations on how to go from survival to "thrival" mode in the international workplace. Linda has not only studied how to succeed as an American doing business abroad, she has lived it for much of her life. I feel more confident accessing the international market with Linda as my guide.

Linda’s comments on the John Polish radio program on how she was able to adapt into Saudi culture were given with humor, wit, and intelligence. She is a fabulous storyteller. Linda is an asset for companies helping their employees adapt to any environment.

I greatly appreciated that you would take the time to share your experiences and your keys to business success. After your presentation I am ready to adapt to these changes and embrace them. The future is daunting but your words in that class have given me a new drive towards experiencing my senior year and everything that will follow to its fullest.
