CREATIVE COMPANIES NEED A DIFFERENT KIND OF COACH.

Great work takes more than great ideas. It takes people who are excited to make them happen.

I’m Lynette Xanders, owner and Chief Strategist of Wild Alchemy. For more than 25 years, I’ve worked alongside creative agencies, leaders, and some of the world’s best brands to untangle messy challenges and get people moving together. I know the pace, the personalities, and the pressure. I also know how much possibility opens up when the room finds its spark again.

Wild Alchemy is a catalyst for creative evolution. I bring artistry, strategy, bold honesty, and a healthy sense of humor to help leaders, teams, and brands do their best work. Through executive coaching, workshops, and brand and culture work, we tackle the decisions, conversations, and habits shaping how people show up. In coaching, we focus on your leadership and the challenges in front of you—with clear next steps you can put into practice between sessions.

The magic is in the 10-degree shifts: small, deliberate changes that turn friction into momentum. A sharper question. A clearer agreement. Space for an idea to breathe. A conversation that finally gets somewhere. We build shared perspective, language, and tools—and create solutions in the room that people want to rally around.

Leaders leave relieved. Teams leave connected. People leave clearer, braver, and ready to make something happen. Some even fall in love with their jobs again.

The grass is greener where you water it. Let’s give your leadership—and the people and ideas counting on it—something to grow on.

Feel The 10º Shift Instantly

Instant Gratification

Transformation happens in the room when people are inspired to grow and reset dynamics and

habits. Change is immediate and lasting.

Proven Game Changers

Our frameworks, thinking, tools

and insights shock the status quo and provide a clear way forward.

Anti-Silo

We dissolve silos by working across teams and levels, connecting strategy to action and creating alignment that lifts the whole organization.

Plus — this work is fun. Clients rave about valuable skills shared in a way that inspires them. We love laughter as much as efficiency.

our areas of expertise

Where We Play

By designing information to align teams, we set people and teams up to solve their own problems and ignite enthusiasm to change.

Leadership

By resetting leadership teams’ collective responsibilities and

talent assessments, they begin to work together in an integrated way (more autonomously) and

better manage their types of employees.

Brand

By determining why people love the brand and what makes it

unique, we identify the best way(s) to communicate to make

the brand magnetic (and how to innovate from strengths.)

People

By identifying the levers that drive your culture, we recalibrate

them to reduce friction, increase efficiency, productivity, creativity,

unity and happiness.

how we help

Things We Do

1:1 & team Coaching

For leaders carrying real responsibility, complicated decisions, and approximately

47 competing priorities.

Structured 90-day coaching engagements create space for clearer thinking, cleaner decisions, and sustainable forward motion.

Enterprise & organizational Work

For organizations navigating growth, change, misalignment, or complexity.

Custom engagements help leadership, creative, marketing, product, and cross-functional teams create more clarity, stronger alignment, and real momentum.

FACILITATED WoRKSHoPS

For teams that need to stop circling the issue and work through it together.

In short, my workshops work. Customized sessions blend practical tools, facilitated discussion, and in-room decision-making so teams leave with progress, not another document nobody opens.

Teams leave with a shared understanding and practical, actionable steps to put new habits to work. More importantly, they leave with a shared sense of purpose and excitement.

SPEAKING

For rooms that need more than inspiration.

Whether as a keynote or adjunct speaker at a conference, event, off site or retreat or as a training facilitator for a company or agency, I have helped up-level skills across a variety of topics and have had attendees LOVE the time we spend together.

These are inspirational sessions where my work with large, fabulous companies (and my delivery, of course), inspires people to listen and absorb best practices and lean into new habits immediately.

RESEARCH & STRATEGY

For moments when something important is forming, breaking, or asking to be redesigned.

Finding consumer insights that propel communications that create amazing brands is in my bones. I also develop insights form internal team discoveries that help companies and cultures get to ‘amazing’ better and faster than most anyone else who works in this space.

Books & Materials

For people who want my thinking in their hands and at their own pace.

A collection of books, workbooks, and digital resources designed to help leaders, strategists, and creative teams think more clearly, work with less friction, and turn ideas into action.

The Killer Briefs Course

For founders, strategists, and teams who want clearer thinking before the work begins.

If your message is muddy, your team is misaligned, or the work keeps missing the mark, my 3-part course is where to start.

the wild alchemy quiz

Take the Wild Alchemy quiz and find out where the friction is hiding.

Your team is busy. The ideas are there. So why does the work keep getting stuck in do-overs, endless conversations, or briefs that leave everyone guessing?

This quick quiz helps creative leaders spot what’s slowing their teams down and see where a small shift could make a real difference.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

My clients love having a renewed sense of:

  • Clarity

  • Alignment

  • Inspiration

Across leaders, teams and/or the organization which leads to intangible improvements in integration, ease and happiness (which improves productivity, reduces friction and helps you win the war for talent.)
