What I Do Best

For companies that believe work shouldn’t suck

Strategy, Culture & Creative Leadership

Bespoke Solutions

Every organization needs two things: a brain (strategy) and a pulse (culture). I merge both. Here’s how we can work together.

My solutions fall into three pillars: Culture & Organizational Design, Learning & Innovation Programs, and Creative Facilitation & Corporate Comedy.

I rely on my improv background, my LEGO Serious Play certification, and my MBA, combined with my years of experience, to select the best engagement method to deliver exceptional results. No matter which method is chosen, the outcomes are the same: innovative, creative, and unique solutions.

CULTURE & ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN

  • Organizational Design & Development: Restructuring teams for creativity and psychological safety.
  • Board Governance & Strategy: Paid board or strategic advisory roles for cultural institutions and foundations.
  • Employee Experience Strategy:  Developing an actionable plan to improve employee experience.

Learning & Innovation Programs

  • Accelerator/Incubator Program Design: Designing learning tracks and programming for accelerators and incubators. 
  • Curriculum & Workshop Architecture: Customized design based on your team’s learning needs.

creative facilitation & Corporate Comedy

  • Improv for Leadership: Designed for executive teams to listen and ‘yes and’ team ideas. 
  • Event MC or Moderator: Hosting and moderating events and conferences with humour and grace.
  • The Values Incubator: A proprietary facilitated process designed to reset and identify your team’s shared values.

 

available for strategic engagements

  • Fractional Head of Culture/Strategy: Stepping in to lead a specific initiative, design a learning strategy, or build an innovation program without being a full-time hire.

Process

Design Thinking Principles First

Research & Analysis

Before beginning any work, I get to know you, your business, and your people. I work to understand all aspects of every project before giving my recommendations.

Roadmap planning

Based on your objectives and definition of success, I create a customized plan. This plan will always take into account time and budget constraints.

Execute & Deliver

Once approved, I deliver exactly what was promised in our roadmap. I strive to not only meet the desired outcomes but to exceed them.

Client Testimonials

Trusted by Top Companies

After the workshop, the team felt inspired and uplifted because they had been open and honest with each other. I would definitely book another workshop because I trust that Lindsay will deliver an accessible and effective workshop and that the team will have another positive experience.
Suzanne Decary

Director GTA Operations, CNIB

The Values Incubator Workshop was a great way for our team to step out of the day-to-day and have some fun while also doing some discovery around our shared values, and the things we find important in our daily work. We laughed, we learned about improv, and we walked away with the 3 values that we all share as a company – and with tips on how to strengthen and promote those values in the office everyday. I would recommend this workshop for any company that’s looking to strengthen their connections, and have a little fun along the way.

Managing Director, Eighty-Eight

Interactive Ontario reached out to Lindsay Ellis to facilitate a LEGO Serious Play workshop as part of our monthly iLunch series. We wanted to do something engaging and unique for a summer session. It was a great choice! We had a fantastic turnout and the feedback from our participants was very positive. Our session presented a challenge, as it brought together participants from 30 different companies. Lindsay met that challenge head on, thoughtfully crafting a workshop that asked useful and interesting questions. We can’t wait to do it again next year!
Carly Beath

Program Director, Interactive Ontario

Lindsay delivered a workshop to an audience of high school students as part of ‘Girls Can Too‘ that was effective and easy to understand. She was encouraging, inspiring and made learning fun. The students felt empowered and inspired to take on their own business ideas. We would happily invited Lindsay back and would highly recommend her for any youth program.
