People around the office have been raving about your keynote during our retreat. Your openness and clear vision of perspective truly inspired me to chase those leadership skills I had available to me the rest of that week. Additionally, I have since had the opportunity to watch your Tedx Talk and I am just generally motivated by your energy.
Lindsey’s story of the mental and physical obstacles she overcame in relatively short order after a serious accident is a powerful one. It touches on many levels personally and professionally. She has a very genuine speaking style and injects the right amount of storytelling with humor as she pulls out key insights that can be applied broadly to all of us. Definitely worth hearing.
Thank you so much for speaking to our office last week! You are a gifted presenter and we have received immensely positive feedback regarding your presentation. Your story, wit and humor touched everyone in the room, and your tips for handling adversity (whether at work or at home) were perfect.
