Short or long-term engagements
tailored to suit your needs

We understand the unique challenges and ambitions of leaders working toward the SDGs.

We provide support on philanthropy, teamwork, organisational development, organisational culture and values, people development, learning, people management, and other areas.

We believe you can exercise leadership regardless of formal role, and that leadership is a set of behaviors and attitudes that can be learned and developed. Our six cornerstones of Mission-driven Leadership guide this growth:

  1. Building powerful collaborations
  2. Being authentic and creating trust
  3. Learning continuously and listening deeply
  4. Acting with courage
  5. Managing complexity and uncertainty
  6. Caring for self and others

What our clients say about us

The Session on Mission-driven Leadership and Values was a cocktail of inspiration and motivation, delivered by an experienced professional with warmth, humour and humility. The session reconfirmed I am on the right journey, and inspired me to tap deeper into the wells of courage with the resultant effect of acting with greater confidence and influence in the world within which I operate.

Cambridgeshire Nature Charity

Leading an organisation is challenging at the best of times. Lynda has helped me to identify where my strengths and weaknesses lie and has skillfully guided me through an important period of growth for my organisation. Lynda not only brings her experience and thoughtfulness, to our sessions, but also a sense of fun and possibility.

Mark Gough CEO, Capitals Coalition

Great, trustful conversations and effective guidance for critical reflections. Drawing from her own strong leadership experience, Lynda effectively helps explore core elements of challenges faced and ambitions to be realised, as well as analyse essential stakeholder relationships. Highly recommend to work with Lynda!

Gerrit Sindermann CEO, Global Digital Finance Alliance

I am much more aware of my leadership style and feel better equipped to describe how I am as a leader. Importantly, the coaching has given me new insights into my weaknesses and blockages, and direction on how to address those. I feel more comfortable in myself as a leader.

Kimberly McArthur COO, Apolitical Foundation

Lynda doesn’t tell you what to do; instead, she effectively guides you to identify causes and to find the best possible solutions within your understanding of things. Much like a well-experienced Sherpa, she knows better what can lie ahead, and I would definitely recommend her assistance to any leader seeking guidance to overcome the many obstacles along their professional journey.

Jan Isler CEO, OneAction

Lynda was a vital part of my preparations to take GFW to a new level of engagement. Knowing that this would impact people in many ways, she helped me navigate the pros and cons of differing options, ensured I had considered all elements and guided me in techniques to make this transition to a larger and more diverse and international organisation successfully. Having a confidante to test ideas on was invaluable to me.

Tony Long CEO, Global Fishing Watch

Lynda Mansson is very experienced in providing that intelligent and safe space for feedback, truly a rare, skilled coach.

Sigrid Andersen CEO, Birdlife Denmark
