about
Founded by a Senior Executive Leader with Extensive Industry Experience
Lynne Bolduc is the founder of Waverly Executive Coaching LLC, a bespoke executive coaching firm dedicated exclusively to the growth, success, and wellbeing of legal and compliance leaders. Her unwavering mission: to help legal and compliance leaders transcend their expertise to unlock their leadership potential, and operate with clarity, confidence, and renewed energy to achieve greater impact and build enduring success on their own terms.
With over 20 years of experience in the legal industry and 15+ years in the life sciences sector, including as Vice President of Legal at Fortune 500 and mid-sized companies, Lynne has an intimate understanding of the complexities of navigating and, more importantly, thriving in highly regulated industries as a legal or compliance leader.
Throughout her career, Lynne witnessed firsthand the pivotal role leadership skills play in driving professional success for legal and compliance leaders. Strategic and innovative thinking, effective communication, emotional intelligence, building trust with stakeholders and developing an enterprise view are essential skills to thrive and boost impact in today’s corporate environment. Yet, developing these critical skills is seldom a focus for legal and compliance leaders. That’s how Waverly Executive Coaching was born.
Rooted in forward-thinking strategies, data-driven methodologies and neuroscience principles, Lynne’s coaching approach is tailored to each client’s unique values and professional ambitions with a focus on encouraging strategic self-awareness and actionable insights. Lynne’s methodology turns daily work challenges into opportunities for development, helping leaders succeed where it matters most.
Lynne passionately believes that embracing a growth mindset and enhancing one’s leadership skills is not only key for any legal or compliance leader to excel in their role – it also helps reduce stress, increase energy, and experience greater job satisfaction.
Lynne holds multiple coaching credentials, including certifications from the International Coaching Federation, the NeuroLeadership Institute, iPEC, and Hogan Assessments. She is known for her empathic and insightful coaching style, her ability to create a safe, judgment-free space, and for her commitment to support her clients’ growth through structured, highly tailored, action-oriented, and results-focused coaching.
