“Lynda spoke about burnout prevention and personal resiliency to our group of teachers and district staff at a recent pro-d day. It was a great pleasure to have Lynda set a unifying and uplifting tone as our keynote speaker. Her presentation was incredibly informative, entertaining, and has already helped my colleagues and I start to rethink our priorities around- self care and burnout prevention.”

Suzanne Heron

Event Coordinator

“Lynda was one of the favourite workshop leaders at our Imagining Possibilities 1-day Conference or young women (age 15 – 24), engaging participants in a dynamic and passionate way. Comments included, “It was very inspiring and prompted introspection,” and, “She was clear, organized, giving, knew it all really well.” Her work completely supported our goals of firing up young women to take charge of their lives and believing that they can: Lynda was positive, spoke their language and led participants to reach their own “aha”. We are delighted that she is returning this year.”
