KEYNOTE SPEAKER
SPEAKER · AUTHOR · FORMER STATE SENATOR · SYSTEMS TRANSLATOR
What if the problem isn't you?
Lynn Bromley doesn’t talk about burnout, resilience, or work-life balance the way you’ve heard before.
She’s a systems translator — a former state senator who spent two decades working at the intersection of innovation, public policy, and economic equity for women. Today, she traces exhaustion back to its structural source, helping audiences see when what feels "personal" is actually systemic — and giving them language for the shift from “Why can’t I ever catch up?” to “No Wonder I’m so tired.”
SIGNATURE FRAMEWORKS

One shift.
Available as keynotes, workshops, ERG events, panels, podcasts, and book events. Full descriptions in the Speaker Packet.
"No Wonder I'm so tired."

ABOUT LYNN
A systems thinker with a dangerous sense of humor
Lynn Bromley has been, at various points in her life, a waitress, a teacher, a truck driver, a corporate manager, a social worker, a legislator, and a consultant.
After four terms in the Maine State Senate, she was appointed to the Obama Administration as the Small Business Advocate for the six New England states. She holds a Master's in Social Work and Public Policy from Boston College, and has spent nearly two decades at the intersection of public policy, economic development, and the kind of systemic change that doesn't happen without someone willing to agitate for it.
She is the bestselling author of On the Path to Justice - a challenge to the empowerment myth women have been sold for too long. On stage, she creates the moment audiences don’t forget: when exhaustion stops feeling personal and starts being seen for what it is - evidence of a system that expects too much and counts too little.
She lives in South Portland, Maine, near her two children and a great gang of sisters. She travels frequently to the UK and Scandinavia, and is available for engagements across the US and internationally.

MAIN AUDIENCE TAKEAWAY
Women's exhaustion is not a personal failure. It is evidence.
Evidence of a system that relies on invisible labor, praises over-functioning, and then offers self-help as the only solution. The shift audiences leave with is not resignation — it is recognition. And recognition is where new possibilities begin.
"Once exhaustion stops looking personal, new possibilities open. And once seen together, it can't be unseen."
