Motivational Speaker & Entertainer

KEYNOTE OFFERING
“UNLEASH YOUR INNER SUPERSTAR!™ “KEYNOTE PERFORMANCE
Audiences are inspired to perform at levels they never thought possible through this highly-entertaining and motivational keynote experience “Unleash Your Inner Superstar™” that combines fun, the transformational power of heart-opening music (live guitar-playing/singing), humor with engaging story-telling, personal inspiration, and a truly memorable and unforgettable finale (where Lynn unleashes her own “Inner Superstar” and transforms into Lady Gaga right before your eyes!). Lynn helps audiences overcome fear, step outside their comfort zones, and set and achieve outrageous goals.

Using her GoGaGa™ formula, the 5-step process she developed to help herself overcome fear and achieve extraordinary success, Lynn guides audiences to set their own outrageous goals and perform at levels they never thought possible. She recounts how she redefined middle age and leapt from being a successful corporate time management consultant to being the lead singer in a rock ‘n’ roll band, Amazon best-selling author and inspirational keynote speaker.

Lynn leaves audiences with no doubt that they can achieve their own outrageous goals, too. In a nutshell, she moves audiences from I CAN’T to I CAN within 60 minutes.
The common results and benefits of her keynote are standing ovations, heartfelt tears, many photos with her as “Lady Gaga”, and audience testimonials on how they transformed, followed through on their dreams, and achieved new levels of passion, performance, and courage in business and life.

“Thanks so much for being the Keynote Speaker at our Team Day event. You were a breath of fresh air in a stale climate! (Thank you Covid!) We needed your enthusiasm, words of wisdom, advice, and passion. Our office had become stagnant, and you helped to “supercharge” us!!! As you know the audience was 50/50 – males to females. It was interesting to get their reactions – 100% had positive feedback! Everyone took away something good to use in their arsenal. Our office now seems more normal, energized, and eager to step out of their comfort zone and move forward. This is a win-win situation for all of us! Again, thank you for being the catalyst to bringing out the “Inner Superstars” of our company!!!”
– Rob Copenharve, Vice President, Lankford Construction Company

“On behalf of the Nebraska Bankers Association and the attendees of the Women in Banking Conference, we’d like to thank you for your outstanding presentation and performance this past week. You were the perfect send off for this year’s conference and the bankers seemed to enjoy the opportunity to get their photos taken with Lady Gaga! It was a pleasure for us to have you on one of our programs and we enjoyed the opportunity to work with you. Thank you and we look forward to working with you in the future!”
– Ron Arrigo, Executive Vice President, Nebraska Bankers Association

“Lynn O’Dowd provided an energetic and engaging program for our attendees. Her unique combination of music, motivation, and crowd participation was just what we needed to energize our attendees as we concluded our conference! We had a line of attendees wanting pictures with her at the conclusion. Definitely a conference favorite.”
–Kim Bohannon, Chief Innovation Officer, Tennessee Credit Union League
