MENTAL HEALTH & RESILIENCE KEYNOTE
Strong Enough to Ask for Help
Mental Health, Resilience & Leading Through Adversity
Great leaders aren't immune to struggle. Great organizations aren't places where people pretend everything is okay. Lyndsey combines lessons from elite athletics, entrepreneurship, leadership and her own mental-health journey to explore what happens when performance, pressure and humanity collide.
Who it's for
Executive and leadership teams, HR and people leaders, healthcare organizations, associations and university leadership — organizations that expect high performance and want healthy cultures.
The problem it addresses
High performers are often the last to say they're struggling, and many leaders don't know how to respond without lowering the bar. The result is silence, burnout and cultures where people pretend everything is okay.
Why Lyndsey
Lyndsey has lived both sides: the pressure of elite athletics, entrepreneurship and leadership — and her own mental-health journey. She speaks to leaders as someone who has carried both.
What your audience will leave with
- Understand the relationship between vulnerability and trust.
- Recognize signs that high-performing people may be struggling.
- Create healthier conversations around mental health.
- Lead people through adversity without lowering expectations.
- Build cultures where people can perform — and still be human.
