We worked with Lynn prior to the event with her desire to learn about the mission of our group and Symposium, and she was able to deliver her presentation in a manner that highlighted our goals and delivered on her unique message. With humor, empathy and expertise, Lynn resonated with a group of women ranging in age 18-70 — quite a feat! After her presentation, she did a Q&A that was led by one of our students to dig deeper into her personal experiences in media and branding.

We valued our time and experience with Lynn and highly recommend her to energize your audience.”
