About
I have been a consultant for many years and have my own company, LYNCO Associates. I traveled for several Employee Assistance Programs, providing training to managers and employees. I provided career consulting for the U.S. Navy, for Drake Beam Morin, Hewlett Packard, and Digital Equipment Corporation. I also founded and managed a women’s professional development organization for 25 years. Recently, I was writing grants, conducting program evaluation, curriculum development, and project management for a Native American non-profit. My biggest challenge is to focus on one thing at a time!
I have written $8M in successful federal grants on alcohol and substance abuse recovery issues for Native Americans. My work with a non-profit Native American organization has been to develop curricula for recovery, prevention, and healing. I enjoy developing curriculum. At one University, I developed curricula for the entire HR department, some for History, Organization Development, Strategy, Total Quality Management, and Research classes.
I have a Doctorate in Education focusing on Human Resource Development and Organization Development. I also have a Master's in European History and a BA in History/English. I often think that what I learned in all this education was how to learn! At Briar Cliff University, I teach Human Resource Management, Research Theory and Methods, Management, Leadership and Ethics, Business Process Management, and Servant Leadership. I also teach doctoral students how to develop their dissertation research projects. I enjoy teaching, and the online environment enables me to work with each student, one at a time.
I co-authored a book with Francis Duffy and Charles Blick: Redesigning America’s Schools: A Systems Approach to Improvement. (Christopher Gordon Publishers). I also wrote short manuscripts to help students learn, such as: “Seven Frames of History”, and “The Dissertation Detective” (available by request). You can read my current blog, Pathways to Change, at https://www.lynco.com/blog. My new book, Four Directions for Career Change: Gathering the Seeds of Your Potential, will be available on Amazon this year.
My husband (Michael) and I enjoy hiking. We are both from military families. Mike retired from the National Guard, where he was a helicopter pilot, and from the Probation Department (after 25 years). We have 3 daughters and their husbands. We also have three grandsons. I enjoy singing with my guitar, playing the piano, horseback riding, reading biographies, spy novels, mysteries, westerns, and action-adventure stories! I make great use of the audiobooks at the local library! We have a cabin in the mountains that offers a panoramic view of southern Colorado, great for hiking and enjoying the outdoors.
My recent community activities include:
Curriculum designer and grant writer for White Bison, Inc. (The Wellbriety Movement)
Secretary (retired), Board of Directors for Rock Ledge Ranch Living History Association
Secretary (retired) of the Garden of the Gods Rock Ledge Ranch Powwow Committee
Secretary (retired) for Colorado Springs Indian Center
Volunteer Horse Wrangler, training assistant for Colorado Springs Therapeutic Riding Center

Four Directions for Career Change: Gathering the Seeds of Your Potential
In Four Directions for Career Change: Gathering the Seeds of Your Potential, Lynda Rogerson
Ed.D. offers a transformative guide that intricately explores the mental and emotional landscapes
of career transitions. Using a compelling compass metaphor, Rogerson structures her profound
advice into four essential directions: Awareness, Preparation, Opportunities, and the 4Ps
(Purpose, Perseverance, Potential, Power).
This groundbreaking book is designed to assist a diverse audience—ranging from those facing
job loss to retirees seeking new, meaningful engagements—by emphasizing self-awareness,
deliberate action, and keen opportunity recognition. Rogerson’s insightful framework navigates
readers through the complexities of career change with confidence and clarity.
Key Features:
1. Awareness: Gain a deep understanding of the nature of change and cultivate a fresh perspective on your
potential. Challenge self-defeating thoughts and liberate yourself from outdated ideas about jobs and
careers.
2. Preparation: Arm yourself with the essential tools to map your career transition. Identify and dismantle
myths and assumptions, set clear goals, and develop the necessary skills for success.
3. Opportunities: Learn to identify and seize opportunities that align with your unique identity. Master effective
networking strategies and understand the critical importance of aligning opportunities with your personal
purpose.
4. Potential: Embrace perseverance and overcome fears to gather the seeds of your potential. Harness the
power to take control of your career and life, unlocking doors to extraordinary possibilities.
