The LinkD Network:
Where Every Piece Fits
We are a network of healthcare professionals, local advocates, and community neighbors across Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
Think of us like a puzzle: each member brings a different piece of support to the table. By collaborating, we connect people who need resources with the members who can help them.
Hello I am Lorena Bowles-Founder of The LinkD Network
A Message from Our Founder
Welcome to The LinkD Network!
I am a big believer that we are simply better when we work together. Over my two decades in healthcare, I saw too many passionate professionals feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and trying to figure everything out on their own. It deeply impacted me to see good people feeling so alone in their journeys.
That experience inspired me to establish The LinkD Network in 2008. My vision was to create a safe, high-trust environment where professionals, across all industries, could drop their guard, come together, and truly lift each other up. Whether your goal is to land your next position, learn from your peers, or scale your organization, The LinkD Network is designed to be the missing piece of your professional puzzle.
What began as a small gathering has grown into a thriving community across Oklahoma, Texas, and Tennessee. Though our reach has expanded, my core mission remains unchanged: to cultivate authentic relationships that help you grow so we can all better serve our communities.
That same passion for pouring into others drives my work as a business coach, mentor, and trainer. I am deeply dedicated to helping leaders and entrepreneurs unlock their full potential and build their businesses with confidence.
Beyond my work, family and adventure keep me grounded. When I am not coaching or bringing people together, my husband of 39 years, Kevin, and I love traveling the country in our motorhome and enjoying life on the open road.
I genuinely care about helping others succeed. I welcome any professional to reach out to me directly, I would love to connect, learn about your goals, and see how I can personally serve you or help grow your network. Please don’t be a stranger!
