Bring Lynn Maria Thompson to Your Next Event!
Keynote Speaker · Workshop Facilitator Virtual or In-Person
What if the most powerful goal-setting lesson your team will ever hear came from the top of the world’s most dangerous mountain?
A Captivating Story
Lynn Maria Thompson combines the storytelling instincts of an award-winning author with the strategic mind of a 20+ year entrepreneur — and a corporate publishing career that helped businesses get found before Google existed. Her talks are unforgettable, actionable, and unlike anything your audience has heard before.
Signature Keynote:
Success on a Mountaintop
What Everest Teaches Us About Setting —
and Surviving — Ambitious Goals
Many people have climbed Mount Everest. Some have summited it. This is the true story of one such couple. They remortgaged their home for the chance. Planned meticulously. Were advised, repeatedly, to turn back. They didn’t. Did they succeed?
Their story is one of the most powerful goal-setting parables ever lived. By the time Lynn finishes telling it, your audience will never think about goals — or the cost of ignoring wise counsel — the same way again.
Your audience will leave with...
-
Completing the mission
Success has different meanings to different people. Goals need a “what next?” strategy, and most organizations never build one. -
The RAP framework
Identify when to Revise, Abandon, or Postpone a goal along the route to success. -
The case for a guide
Even elite performers benefit from an experienced guide who knows the terrain better than they do. Who is yours? -
Bigger-picture visioning
What does winning look like the morning after you hit the target? Plan for the new normal. -
Permission to listen
Trusted advisors may see what tunnel vision hides. Understand when listening to them means everything.
Available as a 60–90 minute keynote, half-day workshop, or customized training program.
"I was so happy to have Lynn presenting at my conference. She is the epitome of professional, she has her $#!+ together, and she has 'the aesthetic.'”
Julia Grosz, Founder, The Acatemy
