Lindsey Christensen - Lenovo - Woman of the Week
In this week’s Woman of the Week, Jacquie Rives sits down with Lindsey Christensen, Director of Channel Nationals West at Lenovo, for a conversation that blends sharp execution with deeply human leadership.
From her love of iced coffee (no matter the weather) to her passion for traveling the world with her family, Lindsey shares how perspective—both personal and professional—has shaped the way she leads. But it’s her approach to leadership that truly stands out: a belief that the best results don’t come from direction alone, but from co-creation. When people understand “the why” and feel ownership in the outcome, they don’t just contribute—they commit.
Lindsey also reflects on a defining career moment—raising her hand for a stretch opportunity that felt bigger than she was ready for. What followed was a transformative experience that reinforced a powerful truth: no one will advocate for your growth better than you. Sometimes, the biggest risk isn’t the role itself—it’s asking for it.
Known for her strength in execution, Lindsey shares how she’s learned that willpower alone doesn’t scale. Her secret? Building diverse, complementary teams that challenge her thinking and elevate outcomes. As she puts it, leadership isn’t about being the strongest person in the room—it’s about building the strongest room.
Grounded in inspiration from Brené Brown, Lindsey brings a refreshing reminder that vulnerability and strength are not opposites—they’re essential partners in authentic leadership.
This conversation is a powerful call to action: advocate for yourself, lead with intention, and surround yourself with people who make the vision stronger.
