Coaching/Mentoring

"I met Lynda in 2016 through word of mouth. I experienced her as a teacher in Non-Profit as well as For-Profit classes and she has a wealth of knowledge in both areas. I was really floored when I became her mentor student. Not only does she have a wealth of knowledge in Non-Profit/For-Profit, but I can speak from someone who has also experienced her as a Mentor/Coach. She has put me on track with my Ministry, Business, Personal and Professional life through pressure, deadlines, homework, and motivation and love. She comes locked and loaded with power that she unleashes on her students. What I love more than anything is she’s a powerful woman of God. I encourage anyone who has any need of help in any area of their professional or personal life to consider using Cornerstone Business LLC." ------Nancy

"Lynda has been nothing but a blessing in helping me identify what I need to do to take my business to the next level and putting my plan to action. I admire how she continues to encourage me to not forget what the Word of God has to say and to keep applying it to my life. I'm so thankful our paths crossed!" -----Kim

"One of the things I like most about working with Lynda is the care she exhibits towards my success. Of course she is knowledgeable and through, but if she has not heard from me in a timely fashion, she checks on me. She has taught me to be more intentional and purposeful with my finances both from a stewardship perspective and a practical one. This is valuable help that i need!"
