Lyn St. James' story is a remarkable one. It culminated into a victory few others could claim - winning the title of Rookie of the Year (1992) and in a sport few women were allowed to participate. She became the first woman to become a full-time driver in the Indy Car World Series and in her quest to be there, set 31 international and national closed circuit speed records. Great stats, but the real story is packed in the journey to get there.

Lyn St. James is a popular speaker, author and sports commentator who understands the drive that leads to success. She understands the rejection, the "crashes", the inferiority feelings, the defeated mind-set when others constantly "get the breaks", and when victory seems achievable only for others.

Allow Lyn to share with your marketing team, your sales group, your management staff, or your entire organization, the determination and positioning she used to break into a world she never imagined. Let her impact your team to consider other paths - those not so typical. Let her relate to their moments of defeat but then watch how she encourages and sparks in them the drive to seek their goals - perhaps the goals you set for them as an organization.

Lyn's story is not about simply being a successful racecar driver. Her goals include sharing the journey, sharing her experience, and helping as she moves into the next phase of her life. She wants to give back. In 1993 she launched the Lyn St. James Foundation and Driver Development Program. She wants to give to those following behind like so many gave to her along the way. Lyn has turned her journey into a path of helping others.

When the race is finished, and the trophies handed out, what will be your team's next goal? Perhaps, if the vision is clear, your audience will see reason to achieve goals - life goals.

1. High Performance - "Delivering Results in the Face of Outrageous Demands"
Racing is a high performance sport that challenges the technical, human, and competitive environments at the highest level. It's like rebuilding a company weekly with hundreds of thousands of people watching live and/or on television. Lyn has succeeded in this very male dominated sport and can create analogies for any type of business or organization.
2. How to Find Your Boldest Form of Self-Expression
Lyn is the least likely person to become a successful racecar driver; a shy only child, a certified piano teacher, a secretary, a wife; everything society expected her to do, she did. But there was so much more in her; she searched for it; she found it; and she worked at it until she succeeded. She will challenge you to find your passion' regardless of what limitations may appear real.
3. The Difference between "Making a Stand" and "Taking a Stand"
4. Life is Full of Defining Moments - "You either Define the moment, or the moment defines you!"
5. Diversity: When the policy on paper doesn't look like what's happening in the workplace.
