Biography: Dr. Linda Henman, the Decision Catalyst®, founded Henman Performance Group to help top executives make the decisions they simply can't afford to get wrong. For more than four decades, she’s worked with some of the most recognizable names in business—Mercy, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Avon, Emerson, Estée Lauder, Kraft, and Tyson Foods among them—with a perfect record: not a single engagement has failed.
Linda’s expertise isn’t theoretical—it’s forged from groundbreaking, real-world research.
While earning her Ph.D. in 1994, she conducted an unprecedented long-term study of 138 American POWs, including John McCain, who survived five or more years of brutal captivity. Working under the direction of the U.S. Navy, Linda uncovered the critical decisions these men made about their beliefs, identity, and purpose—decisions that determined whether they would break or persevere.
Today, Linda brings those same lessons in resilience, judgment, and decisive action to the C-Suite, ensuring her clients aren't just making decisions—they’re making the right ones.
