Lindsay Ellis
About MeI sit on corporate boards. I also make people laugh. I don’t see the difference.
For years, I watched brilliant strategies fail because the people involved felt bored, anxious, or disconnected. I watched creative sessions fail because there was no structure. I realized the problem was a lack of hybrid thinkers.
So I built my career to be the bridge. I earned my MBA and learned governance through training and my board positions. I honed my craft at The Second City Conservatory. I designed LEGO Serious Play and Improv-Based Workshops to help companies close the gap between what they say and what they do.
Today, I work at the intersection of structure and spontaneity. I help tech companies, universities, and cultural institutions design better human experiences.
