Lynn's session was powerfully authentic and brilliantly practical—exactly what our sales leadership team needed. Within weeks, we noticed the transformation: our sales teams were showing up to client presentations with undeniable presence that actually closes deals. One team member told me, 'I finally feel like I own the room instead of just renting space in it.' Lynn didn't just inspire us to speak with courage—she gave us tools we could use that same day to drive real business impact. Erika Fiore, VP Cox Automotive She connected with our team and helped them connect with hard topics that allowed them to open up with each other. We walked away with specific and actionable steps to improve our own personal brands and communication as a team. Having Lynn provide her insight and communication training to a team is invaluable, especially when a clear message is more important than ever for leaders. Danielle Walton Founder and CEO Adept Marketing We asked Lynn Smith to moderate a panel on a very complicated subject regarding artificial intelligence. Not only was she masterful in drawing out meaningful responses from each participant but she came very well educated on the subject. She has clearly done her homework and was able to converse easily on the topic which impressed not only the panelists but the audience as well. She made the event a huge success with her professionalism and warm and charming manner. Lydia Wilbanks SVP, Allison+Partners Lynn Smith was magic as a speaker for our company. She was able to craft a message about becoming a media expert for our audience that combined practical examples along with humorous stories. Her delivery style was fresh and exemplary. Our attendees walked away with useful and practical takeaways that they could immediately implement to improve themselves and their businesses. Everyone left motivated. Ted Jenkin CEO Hyperchat Social We were fortunate to bring Lynn Smith to Boise, Idaho as a keynote speaker for an event with the Entrepreneur's Organization (EO). From start to finish, Lynn exceeded our expectations. She has a world class resume, yet remains down to earth, responsive, and worked with our group to tailor her message to our specific audience. Her presentation was upbeat, content rich, engaging and delightful. Lynn's talk provides sophisticated PR strategies with great take aways. In addition, she has a beaitfully crafted story about her journey and lessons working at the very top of the media industry. Highly recommended!!! Stephanie Camarillo Entrepreneur and Past President of EO Idaho Lynn was our keynote speaker for our annual MIAMI Women Symposium. 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. She followed-up immediately after the event with the promised deliverable to share with the group and answered direct outreach from those in attendance. We valued our time and experience with Lynn and highly recommend her to energize your audience. Kim Tavares Executive Director and AVP Alumni Relations, Miami University (OH)
