Linda Spradley Dunn Highlight
It’s important when you’re young to determine, is this an obstacle or is this a teachable moment?
About Linda
- I grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida.
- As the oldest of over 50 grandchildren in my large family, I adopted leadership and organizational skills very quickly.
- Business and entrepreneurship were always in my spirit growing up—I always wanted to sell the most cookies as a Girl Scout and earn the top prize for selling candy in high school.
- I spent 14 years working my way up the ranks at IBM and gaining a lot of experience establishing rapport with clients.
- I left IBM to start my own business—I established one of the first healthcare call centers.
- After a couple of years, I realized that my passion did not really lie in the call center, so I started looking for other things to do.
- I launched several other businesses and products, including a conference in Palm Desert, California, to bring multicultural women together—it grew drastically and I realized that was my passion.
- Now, I lead a media, marketing, and communications company focused on connecting and empowering multicultural women around the world!
