Workshops
Everyone needs clarity about their vision and goals at some point in life, and Lynn has been blessed with a gift and ability to guide us to clarity.
-Owner, Marketing Firm
Life is not limited by anyone but yourself. I left feeling good about my life.
-Marla Steinberg, Artist
Thank you! I came away with the power of positive thinking and intentions. I will remove barriers – why limit myself?
-Angi Einstein,
Another fantastic experience. One of the most useful insights – iterations improve the experience. I leave here with humble fearlessness.
-College Professor
My most important insight: “Trusting life to use you” and I will use this too: “your nerves are your energy.” Thank you Lynn, it was all very meaningful and applicable.
-Nancy Hoopes, Artist
My most important insight was to be open. Why not! I will return to the practice of visualizing intention.

Team Meetings
I cannot thank you both enough for today. If I wasn’t already your biggest fan, I will boldly claim stake to that title now!
Time like today is such a rewarding investment and I felt like we grew significantly in just the few hours we were there. I feel much more focused on what next steps should be, and better yet, with the buy-in from my team.
I realize even now that teams are just like an engine in a car - routine maintenance isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a method for maintaining strength and longevity - and teams need maintenance just like engines in order to keep performing at our peak. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Many thanks again
-Michelle Yelton: McConnell Group
You really do a great job of re-energizing our teams and helping us to re-align expectations and goals. You have been a breath of fresh air every 6-8 weeks during this project.
Thanks again for all that you do in helping us to realize our true potential as a team.
-COO, Large Hospital System
I just wanted to express my thanks for such an outstanding retreat for the HNG Foundation Board of Directors.
You led a group of diverse individuals with a wide spectrum of opinions skillfully and enthusiastically to produce, at the end of the day, a directional plan for moving forward.
Your techniques of soliciting and blending ideas resulting in a a new (and to some of us, revolutionary) approach to the business of fundraising and giving back to the community was creative, professional and productive.
You allowed us to disagree but ultimately achieved common ground to overcome an unproductive inertia in taking our mission to the next level. You've got me energize with renewed purpose.
-Mayor Bob
As Past Chairman and Ex-officio Board Member of the Hickory Nut Gorge Foundation, I would like to personally thank you for your presenting and leading our Board Retreat yesterday.
As a former Director of Consulting for AT&T International, former VP of Marketing for Markrich Corp. and VP of Marketing for DMA, I was totally impressed with your leadership of the Retreat. I was especially impressed with your professional presentation and guidance of this very talented and educated group (for a period of nearly 7 hours!!! that went too quickly!!!).
By your guidance, inspiration and leadership, I honestly believe you moved us from very slow and deliberate progress to one of rethinking our goals and processes that will move us forward at a much better rate.
Thanks again for all your efforts. I would HIGHLY recommend your services to anyone needing marketing and management guidance.

Executive Coaching
More than 10 years after first meeting and working with Lynn, starting with a transition into an officer role at a multi-billion dollar company that went through financial restatement, market and regulatory crisis, and forced culture change, my life continues to be guided by some key elements inspired through Lynn’s coaching, including a refined skill to deliberately focus on my own action, trusting my intuition, and tuning in to the feelings of others to do the right thing every time; a normal tendency to seek the good in the most difficult situation to objectively lead others through adaptive change; and an increased capacity to learn through reflection."
-Chief Operating Officer and Chief Digital Officer
Lynn Carnes became my coach over 10 years ago, when I accepted my first executive-level position. Total transformation is how I describe the outcome of the coaching I received from her. With the quiet confidence of a seasoned professional, Lynn guided me on a healing path of self-awareness, specifically tailored to my emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. Lynn was able to see beyond my words, as she helped me discover and dismantle deeply embedded beliefs that were manifested in self-limiting thoughts and behaviors. The coaching I received from Lynn, coupled with the empowering knowledge and practices she gave me, helped me recognize, acknowledge, and embrace my full potential; which I am doing today with the quiet confidence of a well-grounded professional.
-Abby G. Foster: Managing Principal ̶ Ahnimisha Consulting
I am not the same person I was when I started working with Lynn several years ago.
-Project Manager
Lynn was masterful in asking the hard questions, and helping me see that I couldn't win in the situation. In one hour I could see the decision I needed to make.
-Real estate developer
I don’t think you have enough time to read or I have enough time to even write all that I have learned. This process has been an eye opening 3 month that has given me insight into who I am and why others act the way they do, all while providing me with the tools to handle my emotions and the actions of others.

On Demand Coaching
I call Lynn when I have run out of ideas, or when it's not cool to ask the boss. Her questions get me thinking different ways, and then I figure out what to do from there.

Well worth the investment in yourself. You will wish you had come sooner. The insights you can gain are powerful and will fundamentally change your life for the better. I have learned so much from Lynn and her genuine listening, caring and insights are amazing! I feel an inner calm and peace and happiness I have NEVER felt before. This was a wonderful gift to myself and it’s one that will keep on giving. Can’t wait to look back in a year, 5 years, 10 years and see the progress of have made and how god my life is. Please don’t retire before then!
-Jenny Isgett National Title Company
Insightful experience! I am better equipped with the knowledge and tools to lead through change and challenging situations. This has been a great experience and I’ve gained more out of my short time here than I imagined I could.
-Kirk Jenkins Hospital Administrator
The determination of how successful the retreat will be is determined by your own conviction on how successful you want it to be. You must be open to its possibilities, the journey, and allow your internal narrative of the process to be defined by the good you are wanting out of it. What’s amazing about a retreat like this, Is you realize your “thoughts” are defined by the lens you want to wear. Sometimes wanting to go deep, causes fear and anxiety, which immediately tries to make the process negative. If you maintain the focus, you will gain something out of it. NO matter what.
-CEO, Wireless Industry
Be open to discovery – of yourself and how you can improve. It’s a journey but a retreat allows you the space, time and energy to make a difference within you. Leadership and executive presence is only a consequence of being the person you are. Unleash your energy. I believe this has given me the opportunity to define myself and thus contribute more to my organization because I have the focus, strength and energy to tackle whatever comes in the future.

The Power of Positive Intent E-Book
This is a fantastic quick read. I often struggle writing a villain and victim story assuming I have context and know the other person's intent. Usually I get it wrong. Lynn Carnes does a nice job giving us a different way to approach life and relationships. This is worth the 30 min it will take to read it (and the lifetime it will take to master it).

TEDxTryon Speech
I did listen to your TEDx talk and very much liked it; well done! I particularly like that one can change the outcome by changing the story, as I too often think the worst of people (especially being in NYC!) and need to also stop with the self-protecting mechanism. You made me realize that it shouldn’t matter what the intent is of someone else. In actuality, what matters is that I have a choice as to how to respond and have the ability to use positivity to get more of an outcome that I desire.
