Your Coach
Linda Faucheux, MA, LPC
(pronounced Fō-sháy, long ‘a’)
“I floundered in my early life. I wasn’t one of those people who knew what they wanted to do. Looking back I can see it was a lack of confidence that kept me stuck — not knowing where I was going, not trusting myself. That stayed with me until about thirty.”
At 30, Linda enrolled in graduate school — “a scary thing” by her own description — earning her MA in Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. She began as a psychotherapist working with addiction, depression and trauma. Then something shifted.
“Over time I realized I was a much better counsellor when I focused on strengths development, self-actualization, and human flourishing. That realization led me to career coaching.”
Linda rose to Associate Director at the University of Colorado Career Center, then Director of Career Services at Naropa University. In 2015 she received the National Career Development Facilitator Champion Award from the National Career Development Association.
For nearly a decade she has been coaching Canadian clients full-time through Careers by Design — day in, day out, working with Toronto professionals navigating Bay Street politics, tech layoffs, burnout, career pivots, and the particular pressures of Canadian workplace culture. That’s not an American coach who occasionally takes Canadian clients. It’s close to ten years of lived familiarity with what actually faces professionals in this country.
She also knows what it takes to conquer fear from the inside. Linda had a severe fear of public speaking — migraines every time she stood in front of people — and overcame it by doing it anyway for ten years. “Every failure was an opportunity to get a little better. I tell my clients the same thing.” Connect with Linda on LinkedIn →
