About Dr. Lynn
Providing Support to CEOs for More Than 40 Years

Dr. James J. Lynn
After growing up in Scranton, Pennsylvania and graduating from Columbia U. in New York City, I enlisted in the US Army. I attended the Army Infantry Officer Candidate School (OCS) and the Language School in Monterey, California. Then I commanded an Intelligence Unit in Vietnam briefing Generals on combat conditions. I went on to complete graduate school earning a doctorate in counseling psychology at the University of the Pacific. My brother, Mike Lynn, became the GM of the Vikings, and wanting to go to more Vikings’ games, I moved my family to Minnesota in 1979. My last boss was Hall of Fame quarterback, Fran Tarkenton.
Since 1981, I’ve been a CEO Whisperer, focusing on entrepreneurs in my own management consulting practice. I’ve been helping entrepreneurial leaders learn more about themselves, and elevate their personal and professional performance.
​
Now I’m hatching a very different CEO peer group and looking for a small group of curious leaders to join me on a two-year journey of self-discovery and transformation. It’s not for everyone. Only for those who know it’s time to get clear, get going and get the results they’ve been chasing for a long time.
​
Ready? Let’s hatch something exciting together.
