Hi, I’m Linnea!

I’m a business coach, communication expert, and workshop facilitator with nearly two decades of experience in business, marketing, leadership, and improvisation.

I help entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals, leaders, and teams communicate more effectively, navigate challenges more confidently, and figure out what the heck to do next when things feel messy, overwhelming, or high-stakes.

A lot of my work sits at the intersection of strategy, communication, creativity, and human behavior - which is a fancy way of saying I help people untangle complicated situations, trust themselves more, and stop spiraling over an RFP.

My background is a weirdly useful combination of business and improv.

I graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in business management and have spent nearly two decades working across business strategy, marketing, leadership, non-profit, and creative industries. I began coaching and consulting clients in 2015 before officially launching You, Yes! Coaching in 2022.

At the same time, I’ve spent more than 20 years studying, performing, and teaching improvisation and theater - eventually becoming an instructor at The Second City.

And honestly? Those two worlds overlap way more than people think.

Because most professional situations require the exact same skills improv does:

• Communication, adaptability, collaboration, creativity, listening, leadership, confidence under pressure, and learning how to respond in real time when things don’t go according to plan.

So yes - sometimes my job involves helping someone prep for a major keynote.
And sometimes it involves helping a client finally send the email they’ve rewritten 14 times. Both are important.
