My Speaking Topics
Crisis as a Growth Coach
How disruption trains our innovation muscles.
Crisis does not arrive with a playbook. It disrupts plans, reveals where systems and confidence are fragile, and forces us to confront what is no longer working. But it can also become a growth coach - training the courage, curiosity, communication and creativity needed to build what comes next. Drawing on her experience of moving countries as a child and the lessons of the dot-com crash, Lucy Lin shows how individuals and organisations can use disruption to clear away noise, focus on genuine value and design new possibilities together.
Audience leaves with
A practical reframe for responding to uncertainty and change.
A clearer way to distinguish hype from meaningful innovation.
Confidence to create a new playbook when the old one no longer fits.
Best for
Innovation conferences, leadership events, strategy offsites, transformation programs, future-of-work conversations and organisations navigating technological, market or cultural change.
Future Skills
Building the human capabilities that matter in an AI-powered world.
AI is changing how work gets done, but future readiness is about more than just using new tools. In this engaging keynote or workshop, Lucy helps teams focus on the human capabilities that grow in value alongside technology: critical thinking, communication, creativity, curiosity, emotional intelligence and adaptability. Participants leave with practical ways to build confidence and capability in a changing world of work.

Strengths to STEM Careers
Helping students connect their strengths with future STEM careers.
STEM careers can feel distant or narrowly defined, especially when students cannot yet see how their own interests, strengths and ways of working fit. This is an interactive workshop that helps high school students discover how their strengths, interests and ways of working can connect to real STEM careers. Through a strengths quiz, a group problem-solving session and a group pitch, students leave with clearer language for their strengths, greater awareness of STEM pathways and more confidence to explore relevant school subjects, university degrees and future careers.
Students leave with
A personalised view of their strengths and interests.
Greater awareness of diverse STEM roles and pathways.
Practical next steps for subjects, study and career exploration.
Best for
High schools, universities, TAFE, girls-in-STEM and equity programs, STEM academies, career expos, councils, youth organisations and industry partners seeking to inspire the next generation of STEM talent.

Emerging Tech Unpacked
From AI anxiety to confident, human-centred adoption.

Mindset shifts that build curiosity, confidence and adaptability.
Everyday behaviours for responsible experimentation and better human judgement.
