Open Window Founder (theopenwindowsolution.com) and seasoned speech coach Wendy Van, is thrilled to announce her partnership with Ignite Lincoln and The Foundry as the official speech coach for this year’s event, which will take place on April 17, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. at the Rococo Theatre. Ignite Lincoln is a fast-paced, high-energy event where local speakers share their passions in just five minutes with 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds.
“I have learned so much from the Ignite speakers while helping them prepare,” said Van. “They are passionate, creative, caring and authentic. Their talks are full of inspiration—and just plain fun. I’m honored to volunteer my time to support them in finding their voices and sharing their stories with impact.”
With a background in media training, nonprofit messaging and spokesperson coaching, Van brings years of experience helping people communicate with clarity and confidence. Through Open Window, she offers one-on-one speech coaching, leadership cadre communication training and workshops to help professionals craft compelling messages that resonate.
“The intentional speech coaching that Ignite Lincoln speakers receive is phenomenal,” says Foundry Executive Director Dr. Julie Murray-Jensen. “A crafted and compelling message makes the Ignite event, and the impact on the speakers and audience, incredibly powerful.”
“One of my greatest joys is working with innovative professionals to bring their critical and complex ideas to the world,” Van said. “When an inspired visionary is able to communicate their passion in a way that lands, pure magic happens, and the world is a better place. Ignite Lincoln is a great community platform to come together to share ideas and get ready to make a difference!”
