For Meeting Planners
The Linda Effect
If you’re looking for a humorous motivational speaker to get your team or membership fired up, energized, and leave your event saying, “that was the best meeting I have ever attended!” then, I’m your gal.
I pride myself in delivering powerful messages, creating lasting shifts, while increasing accountability and momentum, all wrapped in laughter and humor, which creates an environment like no other.
The best feedback I ever get is when participants say, “Wow, where did the time go?” or “I’m exhausted from laughing so much” or “Can we take you back to our office with us?”
If you want to look like a superstar for booking a great speaker or trainer for your next event then consider me, Linda Edgecombe!

Partner with Linda
When it comes to your event, I know how much work and detail it takes to pull it all together, so I make it my goal to be a partner not just a part of the meeting.
I consider myself a creative thinker and soul and love to help with ideas, marketing, and promotion of your specific event.
I have some cool things to consider adding some “capoosta” and make your participants experience over the top:
-
Buy books in bulk
-
Add an element of surprise
-
Make your audience laugh from the start to the end
-
Infusing more energy and laugher by emceeing
-
Social responsibility (selling scarves)
AV Requirements
Linda's standard AV needs are:
-
Wireless handheld microphone
-
Projector
-
Clicker
-
1-2 screens to show slides (depending on size of the audience)
-
If there is an AV team, upload my slides to their computers, sound check to make sure sound is working well (please note that I use a Mac)
-
If I am doing my own AV, I prefer that my computer is on stage with me
-
Depending on the size of the audience and if budget allows, a comfort screen in front of the stage
-
A small table on stage for water (unless there’s a lectern on stage)
-
It would be great if the lectern be place on the side of the stage – this allows me to be more animated on stage
-
Let’s have the house lights up (not dimmed) to maximize energy
-
You can count on me to be at the venue at least 1 hour ahead of my presentation (to meet you, meet the AV team, and get set up)
Most importantly, Linda prefers to have a locally grown fruit and veggie plate prior to going on stage. Along with a shot or 100% Agave tequila with a fresh lime on the side. Feel free to have a shot yourself. 🤡 Linda is highly aware of how much work goes into putting on events!
