ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Linda Spalla has been called a "steel magnolia in the flesh." She achieved great success in a 25-year corporate management career for the New York Times Company. Working her way up the ladder at WHNT-TV in Huntsville, Alabama, hers was a Cinderella story. Divorced, jobless, and homeless in 1975, she began her journey as a secretary and ended as the President and General Manager of the CBS affiliate owned by the New York Times Company. She led the television station from third to first place as General Manager.
Linda was one of the the first females in top corporate television management in the deep south, one of the early few for CBS and the first for the New York Times Broadcast Group. During this time, she was a wife, mother, daughter and community enthusiast who never lost her femininity or her southern roots.
Linda's book entitled LEADING LADIES was published in 2003 and offers practical leadership tips for women. Her most recent book just published is CATCH YOUR BREATH for caregivers. She is currently writing a third book about her Paris escapades.
Linda is a Rotarian, a member of the Crestwood Women's Advisory Council, a 7-year member of the Burritt Board and a grandmother of four. She loves to read, walk, play golf and spends her summers in Paris.
