Elaine Lindsay
Digital Integration Specialist, Speaker, Podcast Host, TROOL Social Media, BBPTVShow, Suicide Zen Forgiveness Podcast
After losing a friend of mine due to suicide at age 16, a life-changing MVA, multiple personal losses, surgeries, and hospital stays in the double-digits, Elaine is uniquely suited to this new normal. Her history of adapting and reinventing herself like the phoenix rising from the ashes… comes from being granted multiple second chances in life. As an early adopter, starting with the original Hyperion in the late 1980s. Elaine has been online since the dial-up modem. That's earlier than most people even discovered the digital world. Nevertheless, Elaine ensures she is always on the cutting edge.
“My advice would be to set goals that are related to you, how you feel, and what you would like to be doing, rather than the attainment of a role, a salary amount, or physical things.”
