As “Leader Leader” of Greater Omaha Chamber, Lynda has been tasked with creating and guiding all of the chamber’s leadership development offerings. Essentially, she’s been leading leaders for years, and she shares some of her wisdom with us today.

Lynda is a skilled relationship builder and connector. Today we cover important topics like diversity and inclusion, avoiding echo chambers (check your social media feeds), and how to build relationships -- especially with those with whom you disagree.

Lynda’s experience and wisdom bring us practical, why-haven’t-I-tried-that-before approaches of bridging gaps, building community, and broadening our own scope, while staying true to our own values and priorities.
