Three Years Ahead Is the Loneliest Place in Business...
Until Innovators Learn How to Build There
For Event Planners
Most innovative people in organizations aren’t stuck because they lack vision—they’re stuck because they have too much of it. They see problems no one else notices. They propose solutions to questions their colleagues aren’t asking yet. And when they start to explain what they’re building, the room goes quiet.
Not because they’re wrong—but because they’re three years too early.
Does this sound familiar?
People waiting for permission instead of building.
Eyes glazing over when innovators describe what’s next.
Great ideas shelved for being “too early.”
The same idea launched later—by someone else.
What if “too early” isn’t a timing problem?
What if it’s a superpower waiting to be used?
About Lynn
Author and Speaker
Lynn Miller spent nearly a decade interviewing over 200 thought leaders and industry pioneers—people once told, “That’s impractical” or “The market isn’t ready.”
Then everyone else caught up.
From those conversations came Ahead of Their Time: Pioneers Who Seized Tomorrow, Today and a framework that helps innovators use their foresight instead of apologizing for it.
In this engaging keynote, Lynn shares stories and insights from 13 pioneers who stopped waiting for permission and started building the future.
​
Your audience learns a framework that transforms visionary thinking into tangible progress—turning “too early” into an advantage.
About the Talk
“The market never tells you what it needs—until someone builds it first.”
The Three Shifts Every Pioneer Makes
Shift One: Stop Waiting for the Market to Ask
The market never tells you what it needs. Resistance often means you’re onto something real.
Shift Two: Share What You Know Instead of Protecting It
Teaching early builds the future faster.
Shift Three: Start Where You Already Are
Innovation needs translation, not more credentials.
What Your Team Will Leave With
-
A “pioneer question” that reframes every project
-
A 90-day plan to act without waiting for validation
-
Language to sell ideas ahead of the curve
-
Permission to stop dumbing down their brilliance
-
Confidence to build without consensus
-
Clarity to spot problems hiding in plain sight
The Loneliness Ends Here
“You’re not crazy. You’re not too early. You’re just seeing what others can’t—yet.”
What Changes After This Talk
-
Projects once labeled “too early” get greenlit.
-
Experts stop dumbing down and start teaching.
-
“We’re too early” becomes a competitive edge.
-
Innovators feel seen—and start building.
This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s a practical framework that puts ahead-of-the-curve thinkers back to work.
