Lindsay Boccardo      

Leadership Coach & Generational Expert

Lindsay Boccardo is one of the most dynamic, hilarious, and celebrated keynote speakers and trainers working with leaders and multigenerational teams today.

Whether she’s with you for hours or weeks, you’ll see why event planners and executives say, “We don’t care what you speak about, Boccardo. We just want YOU.”

Boccardo’s message is as important as her method for energizing and inspiring audiences. Her deeply personal message could only come from her:

If work is going to be better, it has to be better for everyone.

Boccardo’s message grew out of years of trying to follow ineffective leadership methods relying on power, manipulation, and consequences. She adopted these as the leader of a touring Christian rock band, only to watch her dreams crumble under a hierarchy that couldn’t adapt to change.

Humbled by the experience and tired of sacrificing her needs and identity to conform to rules that weren’t hers, Boccardo got clear and curious about the world and people around her. She parlayed a degree in psychology and a coaching certification into a career exploring better ways to lead and help people work together.

Boccardo brings the science, research, and data to your event, advocating for a work culture where everyone’s needs are met and pan-generational perspectives drive growth.

Knowing this is new territory for most audiences, she shares methods for achieving cooperation, engagement, and productivity through actionable takeaways participants practice in real time.

This ain’t your grandfather’s training—but your grandfather would still be welcome.

Every generation matters. Every leader matters. Every team member wants to be all they can be. Work is going to be better—with Boccardo.

Speech Topics


From Boomers to Zoomers – Creating a Winning Workforce Across Generations

Do you ever wonder WHY you feel so frustrated by someone from a different generation? Let’s get to the bottom of it! Join us for an hour exploring the miscommunications and frustrations between generations and leave with a clear game plan of how to change the tune on your team.

Together, we’ll:

  • Explore why the divide exists between different generations
  • Discover the four common factors that create misunderstandings in the workplace
  • Practice transforming tense conversations and turning them into golden opportunities at work
  • Learn what future employees will be looking for from work

For those who dare to enter this conversation, examine their own beliefs, and shift their mindset from judgment to curiosity, a reward awaits. You’ll become a magnet for younger generations as they are looking for mentors and leaders who are open to growth, ready to be curious, and willing to do things differently.

Our Big Bright Future MAKING THE CASE FOR OPTIMISTIC AND LOVING LEADERSHIP

There is a question that pulls at the hearts of humans: are things getting better or worse? Is the ship going down or are we about to launch into a new stratosphere of opportunity? Let’s discover together what has changed in our lifetime and how we can adapt and continue to live with hope and excitement despite the doom and gloom we see on the news.

Our Big Bright Future is an hour-long interactive presentation that will cover:

  • Three major factors that have changed our day-to-day quality of life in the last century (that impact you every day at work)
  • The extraordinary power of the human mind to process change
  • The role you get to play as an optimistic and loving leader

This session is designed to be motivational and shift mindsets around the definition of modern-day leadership. There are additional skill-based trainings that can be combined with this keynote to create change in each participant’s life.

High Achiever Land MANAGING YOUR STRESS AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS IN A MULTIGENERATIONAL WORKFORCE

Welcome to High Achiever Land—a place where caring leaders and teammates burn out by giving too much for too long. Each generation defines “success” differently and faces unique stressors, making leadership a delicate balancing act.

Through stories, humor, and research-based strategies, Lindsay will help you manage your energy, set boundaries, and support a multigenerational team. You’ll also discover why intentional celebration is essential to pacing yourself and fostering happiness across all generations.

In this session, you will learn:

  • The characteristics of High Achievers and the experiences that lead to burnout.
  • How to break free from the “doing more” cycle.
  • The REAL skills leaders need today (and how they’ve evolved).
  • How to empower all generations to solve their own problems.
  • How to set fair boundaries that earn you respect.

Your Time to Rise LEADERSHIP IN THE UNKNOWN

As leaders, it’s time to regroup. The past several years have brought uncertainty in the economy, health crises, climate change, and conversations around diversity and inclusion. Whether juggling at home, work, or both, now is the moment to remind yourself of what’s true and why you’re here.

This is your chance to redefine how you lead through chaos and calm—leaving a legacy of resilience, connection, and growth. Together, we’ll explore the human capacity to handle stress, face fears, and transform through adversity.

In this session, we’ll discuss:

  • Navigating the unknown and embracing your Hero’s Journey.
  • The importance of connection through life’s highs and lows.
  • How humans are wired to grow stronger in the face of change.
