Linda Kral

Linda Kral is a Principal/Owner of Kral & Associates, a boutique search firm in San Francisco specializing in the placement of high-level Executive Assistants to CEOs. Linda was diagnosed with rapid cycling Bipolar Disorder in 2004, after one year of cancer treatment. She has since struggled with stability in the past 5 years.

In 2007, Ms. Kral was featured in an article in Bipolar Magazine and thereafter was selected to participate in an “Oprah Winfrey” show on Bipolar Disorder. Although, due to a last minute program change, she did not appear on the show, she succeeded in collaborating, educating and raising awareness of this insidious illness at a national level.

Her brave and tenacious resolve to improve public perception, understanding, and quality of life is well represented by her outreach efforts, research, seminar attendance and support to the Bipolar community in the Bay Area and beyond.

Linda continues to seek a holistic approach to help alleviate the debilitating effects of this mental affliction and pursue ways to infuse a semblance of self-confidence, joy and optimism in her life and in the lives of Bipolar individuals.
