A vision that something that is thought to be impossible is possible and a strong belief in yourself – that you can achieve an impossible task. Lynne describes how many of her achievements were thought to be impossible. “There’s no way a fifteen-year-old girl can swim across the English Channel and break the world record; There’s no way someone can swim in the icy waters of the Bering Strait from the United States to the Soviet Union and open the border; there’s no way a person can swim in thirty-two-degree water off Antarctica. Lynne discusses how to find ways to do the impossible and thereby change how people think and change the world.

Throughout her career Lynne’s accomplishments have exemplified leadership. Whether through citizen diplomacy in opening the border between the United States and the Soviet Union or advocating for water quality, Lynne has brought people together to support important causes and achieve important goals. Lynne inspires audiences to pursue leadership by recounting what it took to achieve her goals and how leadership qualities are vital to achieving objectives.

There’s a moment that you’ve been working toward all your life. It is your opportunity to meet the challenge and to succeed or fail. If you succeed the world and every possibility opens up to you. If you fail, all is lost. Without trying you will never know what you could have achieved or how you would change your life, or maybe change the world. Lynne speaks about the moments in her life when she had to swim or sink and how you can be persistent. As long as you are engaged, as long as you keep moving, you will not sink, you will swim, and you will win.

Lynne'ssuccess is based on achievements others said were impossible. She discusses the ways to create high goals; how to do the research; ways to overcome, rethink, rework, and adapt to challenging situations and obstacles. She show how your company or group can achieve their objectives in exciting new ways. She describes the hero's journey, and how this journey connects the hero in each member of the audience.

The power of the heart: connects us, heals us, and helps us imagine our purpose in life and what we are capable of achieving. The power of the human heart helps us heal, change what we can change, and find joy in our day to day lives and relationships. Lynne speaks about the way love has enabled her to connect with people around the world, to open borders, strive for a healthier ocean and planet. She will talk about the power of the heart and how it heals and gives you a new reason and way of living.

Lynne's background is an example of sustained success. At age 15 she first swam the English Channel and broke the men's and women's world records, and by the time she was in her 40's she swam in 32 degree water to the shores of Antarctica. And she is still going strong. Lynne explains how she achieved this and how you can build upon your own achievements and reach beyond what you've done before. She believes that once success is attained it is simply a stepping-stone to the next great adventure as exemplified by her own life and that of the great polar explorers.
