Netscape is an innovative company, so Linda's approach to humor in the workplace fit right in. Furthermore, because it was so unique and funny, our employees will more likely remember all that Linda taught them that day about the little things they can do to add humor to their lives (especially at work) while relieving a bit of stress at the same time.

Jami Andrews, Netscape Communications

Thank you for your outstanding workshop on Team Building. I'm completely impressed with your ability to infuse key information in an environment of playful participation. You could be an asset to any organization.

Barbara Love, Applied Materials

Linda brought great energy to the whole room. She provided simple ideas we can use everyday to have more laughter and fun in all areas of our lives. She taught us to take work seriously and ourselves lightly!

Susanne Achtenhagen, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

During Linda's workshop, she showed us many ways to incorporate “fun” into every hour of everyday. She is definitely the expert when it comes to teaching how to apply a fun attitude to everyday life.

Christa Cook, Silicon Graphics Inc.

Linda's seminars reminded me that we always need to incorporate something fun and humorous into each and every day, whether it's our attitude or a fun prop on our desk to make us smile. We must take our work seriously but not have to be a serious person in order to be good in our jobs.

Robyn VanDerLuit, Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

Linda's seminars are wonderfully animated and interactive. She has a true talent for simultaneously involving and entertaining the participants while imparting valuable information. In an effort to increase employee productivity, companies throughout Silicon Valley should regularly utilize Linda's valuable services.

Laura Behrens, Professional Club Management Inc.

Thanks for your talk on Humor in the Workplace. I had to tell you how completely amazed I was with your ability to get the high level managers participating much less playing along. This was the most needed lunchtime seminar ever!

Jodi Kazinskey, Applied Materials, Santa Clara

Linda “Rainbow” Levine knows how to put on an exciting, quality program. She prepares well and comes up with ingenious ways of presenting the information. Flexible and able to present a wide range of programs, Linda works well with all ages from young children to adults. She has a real knack for making people feel welcome and a vital part of the action. Linda has presented wonderful programs at my library as well as several others on my recommendation. I am looking forward to working with her as a workshop presenter or as Rainbow the Clown again and again.

Jenny Robinson, Young Adult Librarian, Willow Glen Branch Library

Linda “Rainbow” Levine was selected to be one of two featured entertainers for the San Jose Public Library Summer Reading Celebration, “2001 a Library Odyssey” because of her amazing ability to reach children of all ages and diverse cultures. Her versatility is seen in the many performances and craft programs that she provides for the young people. Rainbow's programs reach everyone from age 1 to 99. Every library in the system reports delight with her abilities. Linda Levine is great for anyone looking for quality and variety in programming.

Sharon Snow, Youth Services Librarian, San Jose Public Library

Thank you for sharing your great enthusiasm with the Los Gatos Public Library. Your spectroscope and explore the magic of the eye program and your craft programs were a great success. You were very patient, encouraging, and positive with the children. I also noticed many parents participating.... I look forward to more of your programs.

Sandy Wee, Children's Supervisor, Los Gatos Public Library

You were a hit! Your ability to motivate and teach new skills to our staff and participants has a dramatic effect on the quality of our programming. Thank you for the excellent work you do facilitating our Goal Setting Retreats year after year. It wouldn't be the same without you.

Parents & Schools

Thanks for your talk on developmental education. Your presentation got the year off to a grand start!

Lisa Jones, Director, Morgan Hill Parent Nursery School

As a parent, I am constantly in the process of readjustment and reevaluation. Linda is insightful and is always able to discern exactly the right solution for the problem or situation. I can think of no one I would rather have influence the destinies of my children. Linda is indeed a “rainbow” who touches the lives of people with an endless prism of color.

Saralyn Boyd-Winslow, Recreation and Leisure Studies Department, San Jose State University

Linda, you are articulate, prepared, expressive and obviously experienced. I appreciate your words of wisdom. Your evaluations were outstanding and I’ll certainly recommend that the school bring you back soon. It was a pleasure to work with you and also be inspired and encouraged.

Thank you again for an excellent presentation on Developmental Education. I have heard many positive comments from the attendees and you are now officially crowned as a "must-have" annual speaker for the Menlo-Atherton Co-op. So... you'll be hearing from us next year!

Kim Delagnes, Menlo-Atherton Cooperative Preschool

Thanks to your talk on Creativity, I feel a new surge in my parenting skills. In small and large ways I see myself “looking out of my box” and seeing possibilities for my son, my family as a whole and myself. Thank You!!! I never thought I could be creative and now I see that parenting is one big exercise in creativity!

When I wanted to expand my career into training and presentations, my thoughts turned to Linda Levine. I had read an article about her when we hired her to perform as Rainbow the Clown at the Evergreen Library in San Jose. I knew that this was the person I wanted to have help me launch my new career. Linda has given me the confidence to follow my dreams.
