Armed with a Visa card and a whole lot of chutzpah, Lynne Schinella started a performance improvement company in 1989, convinced, at 29 years old, that she was 10 foot tall and bullet proof. And for a while she was. The business grew from a zero base to turn over $3.5 million in just 5 years, picking up industry awards along the way.

Then Murphy intervened and with a little bruising along the way, she found herself reincarnated as a professional speaker, facilitator and MC. Lynne began life in the tourism industry and cut her sales and marketing teeth at organisations like Qantas, Continental Airlines, UTA French Airlines, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts and Radisson Hotels and Resorts.

Along the way she has learned a lot about relationships and firmly believes that in working hard at maintaining healthy personal and professional relationships, you increase your success rate in all areas of life.

When your team can deal effectively with clients, suppliers, other team members, manage up and down, with family…..you know you have an edge. Today she consults to business on relationships in the workplace, and is also a regular contributor to business magazines on both communication and performance improvement issues.

Lynne gives your audience information to use immediately they walk out the door. Her natural energy and passion for her subject allows her to connect with and engage your audience. Everyone has relationships. And everyone will be able to relate to Lynne’s presentations. She has presented widely around Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific; in Tahiti, New Caledonia and Vanuatu.

Dynamic and entertaining and brimming with life experiences, Lynne will add value to your event.

Mango? Apple? Lime? Banana?
Affectionately known as the Fruit Tart, Lynne peels the skin off and takes a juicy new look at the way that human beings behave, a theory thousands of years old. Great after lunch when your delegates are prone to nod off, she takes a light hearted approach and helps us examine and laugh at ourselves, our strengths and our trouble spots. But more than having fun, she shows us how by learning about our differences, and respecting those differences, we can live happier, healthier and more productive lives.
