“If I needed to employ a fundraiser Lyndel Harrison would be my first choice. She can raise money from seemingly impossible sources and does it with grace, humour and style. It’s no mystery with this combination of skills why she has made such a successful career out of raising money for many excellent causes.”

Wellbeing Coach
Private Equity Firm
I presented my GAIN a Good Life workshop for their eighty staff providing a toolkit of simple methods for gaining better work/life balance and being able to more easily access positive emotions and improve general wellbeing.
Oxford University
I led a three-hour workshop which encompassed working through my GAIN principles of utilising Gratitude, Attitude, Intention Setting and Nature to access a positive attitude and feel a greater sense of wellbeing.
“Lyndel’s GAIN principles have stuck with us – through practising gratitude with a number of team members using gratitude daily journals, and us all making an effort to connect with nature by taking walking meetings or just those small moments to take a break when the sun is shining. Thank you Lyndel for your infectious energy and easy takeaways.”

“Your authenticity and love, your charm and your ability to put people at ease and create an authentic atmosphere that’s enjoyable and impassioned and right for people to dig deep in their pockets is pretty rare and remarkable.”
