Intuitive Architect & Strategic Growth Expert | Bridging the Gap Between Brand Strategy and Mindset to Unlock Exponential Executive Success.
For many high-level entrepreneurs, the path to success is often paved with a familiar frustration: following the “perfect” strategy, investing in the “right” ads, and building “proven” systems, only to find themselves hitting an invisible ceiling. Lindsay O’Donnell spent fifteen years witnessing this phenomenon from the front lines of the marketing world. As she scaled agencies and built global brands, she realized that no amount of external marketing could fix an internal block. It wasn’t just about the brand voice; it was about the voice within. Today, as an Intuitive Clarity Coach and Marketing Executive, Lindsay has dedicated her career to helping leaders “scrub the corners” of their professional journeys—removing the unconscious barriers that manifest as business problems to unlock a more authentic, joyful level of scaling.
A Passion for Voice and Connection
Lindsay’s journey began with a deep-seated interest in how we communicate and connect. Educated at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) with a focus on Business Administration and Marketing Management, she developed a rigorous understanding of the mechanics of growth. However, her early influences were never strictly corporate. Her early career saw her advocating for causes she believed in—from environmental protection to animal welfare—and even exploring the culinary arts as an amateur chef and community fundraiser.
These experiences instilled in her a foundational belief that business is deeply personal and that the most impactful brands are those that prioritize their “Why” above all else. This period shaped her perspective: that marketing isn’t just a series of touchpoints, but a vehicle for change and community contribution. “Brands almost always need to go back to their ‘Why’ to guide their ads, their messaging, their touchpoints… EVERYTHING,” she notes, emphasizing that true growth is built on purpose, not just profit.
Scaling Brands and Breaking Barriers
The professional trajectory of Lindsay O’Donnell is marked by a relentless drive for results and a rare talent for leadership. As the Founder and Marketing President of Piquant Marketing, she spent over eight years spearheading expansions for more than 100 brands across North America. Under her leadership, the agency grew from a solo operation to a powerhouse team of twelve, doubling revenue for clients and boosting engagement metrics by triple digits.
Yet, it was during this period of high-speed growth that Lindsay encountered the “hamster wheel” of traditional success. Despite the accolades, she noticed a recurring pattern: even the most successful entrepreneurs were often held back by unconscious fears and beliefs. This realization led her to train as an intuitive coach, blending her tactical marketing expertise with a deeper, psychological approach to business. She began to see that when an entrepreneur’s internal alignment shifted, their brand followed suit with explosive, unstoppable growth. This dual-lens approach—strategy mixed with mindset—became her signature, allowing her to guide clients from six-figure plateaus to seven-figure breakthroughs with grace and efficiency.
A Rock in the Midst of Chaos
Lindsay’s influence is best measured by the clarity and confidence she restores to those she mentors. She has become a vital resource for leaders navigating the often-disorganized and high-pressure environments of the modern startup world. Her coaching doesn’t just address business systems; it addresses the human being at the center of the system.
As Bernadette C. Simard, a sales leader and client, noted: “In a fast-paced, hectic, and often disorganized startup environment, she was truly my rock… I finally had the right support to process challenges, decisions, and self-doubt. Through her presence and guidance, I gained clarity, focus, and perspective.”
Whether she is speaking at events like the FCC Food & Beverage Summit or working one-on-one with visionaries, Lindsay’s impact is defined by her ability to make the complex feel simple and the heavy feel light. She challenges the notion that business growth must be a grind, instead teaching that if marketing and scaling aren’t a joy, they aren’t being done right.
Intuition as a Competitive Edge
Today, Lindsay continues to balance high-level marketing execution at Living Alchemy with her private coaching practice, PQ Consulting. Her philosophy centers on the idea that the “Universe” often tests our growth by presenting us with repeating patterns—tests she views as opportunities to respond differently.
“A pattern isn’t a pattern if you’re responding differently,” Lindsay often says. “The Universe is going to keep pushing you to walk to see how much you’ve healed… but the pattern may be broken when you stop making it about you, when you stop internalizing, or reacting in a way that isn’t in your best interest.”
Looking forward, Lindsay is focused on empowering the next generation of visionaries to embrace their executive presence with integrity. She believes that the future of leadership lies in intuitive clarity—the ability to hear the answers within and act on them with unwavering focus. For Lindsay, the goal is simple: to help leaders stop fighting the internal blocks and start building brands that are not only wildly profitable but also deeply irresistible and authentic.
Editorial Note
Lindsay O’Donnell’s journey reminds us that the greatest obstacle to our next level is rarely a lack of information, but a lack of internal alignment. Her story encourages leaders to look beneath the surface of their “business problems” to find the personal breakthroughs waiting to happen. If you find yourself at a crossroads, perhaps it’s time to stop looking at the spreadsheets and start looking at the internal structures that support your vision.
