But you're still waiting for permission to act.What if your biggest frustrations at work are million-dollar opportunities in disguise?

Autorenporträt
Lynn Miller has always been drawn to the questions no one else is asking. Her journey began in an unexpected place: a decade spent training as a classical singer, where she learned the disciplines of voice, breath, and performance. But when she stepped into corporate America at a billion-dollar retailer, she discovered a different kind of stage-one where the script was often missing entirely. After ten years in retail, Lynn shifted into corporate training and immediately noticed something was broken. Companies were spending millions on training programs that failed spectacularly, and the reason was painfully simple: no one had bothered to ask employees what they actually needed to know. No one was delivering learning when people needed it most-in the moment, not in a conference room three months earlier. This realization became her compass. At Knowledge Planet (later Mzinga) and ElementK (now Skillsoft), Lynn built a career on asking the uncomfortable questions other sales reps avoided. She sold e-learning solutions to Fortune 500 companies, generating over $1 million annually, not by pitching harder, but by listening deeper and identifying the problems her clients hadn't yet admitted they had. Then came the pivot that changed everything. Working with the team at Socratic Arts, Lynn discovered that information doesn't teach people-experience does. People learn by doing, by failing, and by working through problems in real-time. This insight sparked a new question: how could she use her learning expertise to help thought leaders and entrepreneurs grow their businesses in ways that actually stuck? In 2018, she founded Women in Growth Stage Tech, creating a space where tech founders could learn from each other, understand the investment landscape, and share what actually worked. Over the next several years, Lynn continued this pursuit, interviewing more than 100 founders and entrepreneurs, listening for patterns and the moments when someone saw a problem that everyone else had normalized. Those conversations led to Straight Talk Writer (now Lynn Miller Strategies), where Lynn began writing about entrepreneurial growth-and eventually to her role at Networlding Publishing as Coordinator of Targeted Research and Editing Projects. Here and in her own practice, Lynn works with brilliant people who struggle to explain their breakthroughs, and who see solutions no one else recognizes yet. Ahead of Their Time emerged from Lynn's fascination with a particular kind of pioneer: people who don't predict the future so much as they lose patience with the present. Through conversations with thirteen of these leaders, she discovered they all shared something--they weren't waiting for tomorrow. They were building it because they could no longer tolerate today's broken systems. Lynn's work is for the people who see what's coming while everyone else is still arguing about what is. She believes being ahead of your time isn't about having all the answers. It's about asking the questions that make everyone else realize they've been accepting "good enough" for far too long.
