About The Two Lindas of Personality

Hi, Linda Gilden and Linda Goldfarb, the Two Lindas here. Thanks for stopping in.

The LINKED® Personality System came about because we wanted to offer our readers, audiences, and coaching clients a fresh look at personalities while focusing on growing positive personal and professional relationships.

We love equipping individuals, families, and professionals to excel in their relationships with the LINKED personality system. We believe everyone can grow positive relationships with a little help in understanding their personalities.
