We help coaches, consultants and workshop leaders 10X your expertise using content you already have

About us

Authors, consultants, speakers, monetizing your expertise is an opportunity whose time has come--and I can help you get there! Over the past several years, I noticed thought leaders, authors and consultants had an unmet need for increased visibility and scalability. At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I designed the 10x Your Expertise consulting process. This process results in strategies that lead to new ways you can monetize and scale your expertise. You will benefit from my 25 years as a learning, business development expert and an award-winning enterprise sales executive in the eLearning software and services industry. Previously, I managed a 25-person team while doubling revenue and profitability for a multi-million-dollar business at Marshall Field’s in Chicago. My education helped me build discipline and tenacity. Why? Because I studied opera for 10 years. My volunteer experience included working as a volunteer and supporter for LUNGevity, Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund, along with Best Buddies of Chicago.

    Excerpt from my chapter, Pathways to Becoming an Opportunity Champion. Chapter 8. "Deciding to write this chapter for the Inner Circle Lead from Within collaborative book motivated me to take my writing skills to the next level. The leadership trait I chose was "opportunity champion." I felt a connection to these words personally and was curious about their actual definitions. First I looked up "opportunity" in the dictionary. It said, "A situation or condition favorable for attainment of a goal" and, To accept or pursue an opportunity (to do something) with clarity and conviction." The part about conviction resonated with me. For years, I wrote about my commitment to helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses exponentially. Then I looked up "champion" in the dictionary. It said, "Someone who fights for or speaks for another person in favor of a cause." There it was--my purpose!" Then, a terrifying dilemma unfolded as I reflected on my journey to opportunity champion, it prompted me to ask myself and others the following questions: 1. Why do I consider myself an opportunity champion? 2. What story/example about how I built on past success to serve a bigger purpose? 3. How did I move forward to make a difference in the world? 4. What advice do I have for others. In Chapter 8, Learn more from the interviews I did with Meg Bear, Sean S., Loretta Stagnitto. Then learn about my story.

    The Opportunity Strategist | Accomplished Expert Interviewer | Best-Selling Author | Collaborates with Experts on the "Why" behind your 3rd act | Stories with your "Why" to Attract New Prospects

    Everyone keeps asking me, "What's your word for the year?" After a few conversations, I am excited to share, my word for the year is flourishing! In typical "Lynn" style, I wanted to make sure I had the meaning of the word correct. Now that I'm a best-selling author (more on that in another post), what would it look like if I was flourishing all the time? Here's what the dictionary says, "flourishing is feeling good and functioning well. When someone is flourishing they experience positive emotions, positive interest and engagement with the world around them, and meaning and purpose in their lives most of the time." The next day a surprising thing happened. Colleen Chapco, My client who I worked with last year on her 10x Your Expertise Strategy and Content Development Map, asked me if she could post a recommendation that would inspire more people to work with me. After reading her post, I can honestly say, my year of "flourishing" has begun. Thank you again Colleen Chapco for being such a wonderful client and for this amazing recommendation! I had an absolute blast teaming up with Lynn to collaborate on some truly amazing online course content! I could not have done it alone. You see, Lynn has this magical ability to turn your brain dumps into pure gold. Even though she was a newcomer to the topic we were diving into (The life of an expat in South Korea), her superpower of soaking up info and spinning it into engaging course material became quickly apparent and I knew that I had found the perfect person to bring one of my dreams to life. Lynn is like a knowledge alchemist, turning expertise into knowledge into an income-generating machine. So, if you are looking for a collaborator and a wizard at making your expertise pay off, Lynn is the one you need!
