Lynn Erasmus is an international, motivational keynote speaker and Great British Entrepreneur Award winner with a talent for helping audiences turn adversity into strength.

As the creator of the CPD-accredited REBEL framework, Lynn Erasmus specialises in delivering engaging, trauma-informed talks that empower individuals to take control of their lives, build resilience, and lead with confidence.

With a style described as “inspirational, vibrant and unforgettable,” Lynn’s sessions blend science, storytelling, and somatic tools, leaving participants with actionable strategies to regulate emotions, overcome burnout, and embrace their unique potential. Whether speaking to corporate teams, educators, or professional women, the audience will walk away with practical tools and a renewed sense of autonomy and purpose.

“To lead others, you must first master leading yourself. Self-leadership is the foundation of everything—because if you can’t break through your own mental barriers, how can you inspire others to do the same?

I help individuals and leaders shatter old mindsets, build unshakable resilience, and step into their full potential. It starts with breaking the internal rules holding you back, embracing change with confidence, and developing the emotional toughness to thrive through anything life or work throws at you.

By being more REBEL—Resilience, Empathy, Breaking Rules, Evolving, and Lightening Up—I give you the tools to take charge of your mindset, actions, and outcomes. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, leading teams, or driving innovation, I’ll show you how to lead from within to create lasting impact.

From a homeless, addicted waitress to a multi-award-winning journalist, publisher, entrepreneur, and now TEDx speaker, coach, and trauma-informed practitioner, I’ve spent my life breaking the rules and redefining what’s possible. I know first-hand that growth never happens in your comfort zone, and yes, change can be hard, but only if you resist it. In my talks, I will show you how to adapt to change with more fun and less glum and even become, unstoppable.
