We spend our lives being told to be good girls, good employees, good partners, good mothers—and somewhere along the way, we can lose track of who we are. This keynote is about breaking that pattern: reclaiming your voice, choosing yourself, and realizing that what others might label as a midlife crisis might actually be the beginning of your most authentic and beautiful life.
As an executive leader, Lynette questions and challenges the status quo, believing there is always a better way of doing something if we are willing to be open, foster creativity, and encourage innovation. She has helped build organizations, brands, and ecosystems across three provinces and internationally.
Now, as Founder of Iconoclast Solutions, Co-Founder of Stay Spicy Inc, and Co-Host of the Stay Spicy Podcast, Lynette is leveraging her experience to help leaders grow their brand and their business and navigate change effectively.
In her spare time, you can find Lynette traveling the world, performing spoken word poetry, attending rock concerts, cuddling with her cats or latin dancing!

In 1975, March 8 was declared International Women's Day by the United Nations. Since then, it has been a day to celebrate women, our achievements, raise awareness about discrimination and amplify our voices.
Women worldwide have been in an organized fight against oppression since 1908. Much progress has been made since then but we still have work to do.
