The Speaker Small Business Owners Didn’t Know They Needed—Until It Was Too Real to Ignore.

I know what it’s like to be the one holding everything together—while secretly falling apart.

There was a time in my business when I was doing it all: grinding day and night, saying yes to everything, and showing up with a smile while silently drowning in pressure. From the outside, things looked successful. But behind the scenes, I was surviving—barely.

My business demanded everything. And my family? My health? My peace?
They got whatever was left.

And even though I was making money…
I was losing everything else.

That moment—that season—changed everything.
Because I realized that the problem wasn’t my work ethic.
It was that I was trying to scale chaos.
I had no systems. No support. No structure to sustain me.

So I did the hard work. I rebuilt from the inside out. I created frameworks that gave me my time, my energy, and my life back—and then I started teaching those same systems to other small business owners who were stuck in the exact same storm I’d weathered.

I’ve spent the last 17 years living and working in the trenches of being a small business owner and helping entrepreneurs across 38+ industries break free from the cycle of burnout. I’m a certified coach, a Lean Six Sigma and PMP professional, but what makes me different is simple:

I’ve lived what they’re living. And I know the way out.

When I speak, I don’t just give inspiration.
I give them a mirror, a map, and tactical strategies that they can implement immediately.
I help them see that the business they built doesn’t have to cost them the life they wanted.

Because if we want more sustainable small businesses…
We have to stop pretending burnout is the price of success.

Book me for your event—and let’s show your audience how to build better.

From keynotes to workshops, attendees leave with tools, templates, and clarity—not just motivation.

LEADING BLINDLY
You pour your heart, soul, and every spare hour into your business, believing that passion, dedication, and sheer effort will be enough to get you where you want to go. But what happens when it isn’t? Without a clear roadmap, we’re driving aimlessly, hoping to reach a destination we’ve never mapped out. And what happens when we spend too long in that cycle? Burnout. Frustration. Misplaced priorities. The dream that once fueled us starts to feel like a burden. The excitement we had in the beginning is slowly replaced by exhaustion, resentment, and the creeping thought that maybe we weren’t cut out for this after all. In this keynote, we’re going to talk about how to stop leading blindly, how to shift from reactionary chaos to intentional, strategic action, and how to finally create a business that works for you instead of constantly  demanding more from you.

BUSINESS BASELINE
You can’t grow what you don’t understand.
The Business Baseline is a powerful, step-by-step program that helps small business owners assess the true health of their company across every operational pillar—finances, team performance, systems, client experience, retention, and more. This isn’t surface-level insight—it’s a full audit designed to reveal what’s working, what’s not, and what needs immediate attention so you can build with clarity, confidence, and control. If you’re serious about sustainability, this is where you start.

At her core, Lyndzi speaks on strategic growth for small businesses—with a focus on system development and process implementation.
Every topic she teaches ties back to building a business that runs with structure, not stress. Each session includes a proven framework or step-by-step process, so audiences don’t just get inspired—they walk away ready to implement.


Workshop/Breakout Signature Programs

OPERATIONS OVERHAUL
Most small businesses don’t make it past the 10-year mark—and it’s not because the owners didn’t work hard enough. It’s because too many are trying to do everything themselves—managing every detail, responding to every issue, and hoping things will eventually fall into place. Service-based business owners, in particular, face unrealistic client demands, a shrinking labor pool, and the constant pressure of never feeling like it’s enough. This tactical workshop is about changing that. You’ll learn how to build your business blueprint, create streamlined SOPs, and organize your operations for long-term sustainability.

LOOKING BEYOND THE CALENDAR
If you’re ready to scale your business, delegate with confidence, and stop being the bottleneck, the Rhythm Calendar is the system you can’t afford to skip. At its core, it answers four essential questions: Who’s doing what? When is it due? Who’s responsible? And What’s the status? But it goes far beyond task management. The Rhythm Calendar becomes the heartbeat of your operations—a decision-making tool that helps you understand how your time is spent, where your team is stretched, and what’s slowing you down. It uncovers inefficiencies, clarifies communication, and helps you make strategic choices about hiring, payroll, and workload. This isn’t just a productivity hack—it’s the foundation for a business that runs smoothly, grows intentionally, and frees you to lead at the highest level.

I didn't know what to expect when we booked Lyndzi, but she blew us away. She was one of the first people we have ever hired that wasn't specifically from our industry and she did not disappoint.
