Who is
Alpha?
Alpha Business Coaching
was started by Lynda Conrady Hess as an outlet to
help small business owners become more successful.
The company helps owners deal with the operational
challenges of running a small business.
The name
Alpha Business Coaching
is drawn from Alpha being the word that is first (in
the Greek alphabet) and is the name for the leader
of the pack (in wolf families). Ms. Hess has a
passion for helping small
business owners become the leaders in their lives
and therefore have the best run companies in the
area.
Lynda’s joys in
business are helping solve problems and bringing
people to their own “Ah-ha” moments. This happens
when a simple concept suddenly makes real sense to
you. Lynda recalls an “Ah-ha” moment when she read
the quote by Henry Ford “If
you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re
right.” How many of us limit ourselves by
what we think we can’t?
Lynda brings more
than 15 years of successful business management
experience to her coaching practice. She has
previously held positions of project manager,
financial analyst, purchasing manager, customer
relations manager, and business operations manager.
She also played a senior management role in an
Internet design firm during the 1990’s dot com boom.
During this leadership role, she performed
significant coaching functions for teams of junior
people. With this breadth of experience, she finds
the resources needed to coach people in all areas of
their business.
Lynda is on the
Board of Directors of NARI (National Association of
the Remodeling Industry), an affiliate member of AIA
(American Institute of Architects) and a member of The Greater Springfield Chamber of
Commerce.
Lynda has a B.S.
in Business Administration and extensive course work
in managing and leading people. She has also taken
course work with Coaches Training Institute to
fine-tune her coaching skills.
Lynda lives in
Fairfax, VA and works with businesses across the
Washington, DC metro area, including Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Columbia. She lives
with her husband of 25 years, loves to travel,
create gourmet dishes, and eat chocolate!
