As the founder of The Gathering Effect, she works with HR, Comms, and business leaders to design group experiences that don’t just inform—but actually move people. With 20 years of experience across Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and global consulting, Lindsey blends storytelling, behavioral science, and adult learning to spark behavior change, build buy-in, and create lasting engagement. Her work has been featured in Fast Company and Talent Management Magazine, and she’s spoken at over 50 events on the power of one-to-many influence. Her forthcoming book explores what it really takes to move a room—whether you're leading a training, a town hall, or a transformation. Want to significantly improve the impact of your Town Halls, All-Hands Meetings and other forms of corporate communication? Then this is the episode for you.
