Design your life in a way that makes you feel
Alive, Vibrant and Inspired.

Hello and welcome đ
Iâm Linda and I consider it my personal responsibility to maintain Passion & Sparkle here at The Diamond Life Project.
I LOVE life â more specifically, I love the adventure of life. Whether trying to navigate my way back home after missing my exit on the motorway (which happens frequently), exploring a new city, sampling some weird international cuisine, meeting new friends, or learning a few words of a foreign language â I notice and appreciate the ADVENTURE in all of it.
But it hasnât always been that way. Prior to starting my Coaching Business, I spent more than 25 years dedicated to my career and diligently climbing the corporate ladder.   I sacrificed key elements of my personal life for a job that I loved and that really mattered to me. At the time – probably more than anything else. For this was where I felt most valued. Most in control.
But things really started to change when I reached my forties. Turning 40 brought with it a sense of freedom that I hadnât experienced before. I felt less obligated by the âexpectationsâ of those around me. I no longer felt the need to âproveâ myself. I could just be me. And be cool with that! Â
But I also found myself at a cross-roads, wondering âwhat nextâ? What to do with this new sense of freedom?  Acknowledging that the long hours in the office left little time for pleasure, I decided it was time for change. I wasnât sure how that change might look, but I just knew something had to give. On the outside my life looked great, but on the inside, I couldnât shake off the feeling that something was missing. I was lacking any sense of fulfilment. All of the FUN had disappeared. And so I made a decision. I would start to prioritise my own happiness, and instead of saying NO to all invitations because I was âtoo busyâ – I would start to say YES.
YES to life
And with that single shift in mindset, things started to change. I saw opportunities where I may have been blinded to them before. I was more open to the adventurous and exciting.   Within weeks, I was enjoying a long weekend in Barcelona celebrating my brotherâs birthday. Then a trip to St Lucia with a dear friend. In March 2007, just a few short months after making the commitment to say YES to life, I had accepted a new assignment and moved from Glasgow to start my new job on the other side of the world â in New Zealand.Â
12 months later, the journey continued as I headed to Shanghai to take up another new role within the Group. And what is really interesting about this decision is that had it arisen at any other point in my career, I would have turned down the opportunity to relocate to Shanghai, but turning 40 had given me a new confidence, and so it was a risk that I was willing to takeâŠ. And ultimately, the single/best decision I ever made.  For it was here, in Shanghai that I fell in love.
with LIFE
And the adventure continues.Â
These days, I choose to invest my time doing more of the things that I love. And more of the things that push me outside of my comfort zone. Because now I know that right there (outside of your comfort zone) is where the magic truly happens.
I call this venture The Diamond Life Project â because my primary goal is to create a life that I LOVE.
A life in which I SPARKLE every single day.

Do you ever ask yourself âIs this it?â, or think âThere must be more to lifeâ…. Are you PASSIONATE about what you do every day? Are you doing what lights you up?
Perhaps you feel trapped in the Corporate world, desperate to start over doing something that you LOVE but need to escape the stifling grip that FEAR has over you?
Perhaps you are facing redundancy and overwhelmed at the prospect of starting over.
You dream of a life with greater freedom and flexibility.
A life lived on YOUR terms.
You desperately want to take that first step towards your DREAM LIFE but not quite sure where to start?
I know you. I get you. I WAS that woman once too.
And so I know that you deserve so much more than your current unfulfilled state. You deserve to earn a living doing what you LOVE. You deserve to have fun. You deserve to have all that your heart desires. You deserve the Best.
You deserve to SHINE
