Biography

Book Siri Lindley through The Keynote Curators.

Against all odds, Siri Lindley defied the impossible—transforming from a non-swimmer to two-time World Champion triathlete and #1 ranked competitor in her sport. Her journey from battling crippling anxiety and self-doubt to dominating the world stage exemplifies the extraordinary power of belief and determination that has become her signature message. 

When faced with acute myeloid leukemia and a devastating 10% survival prognosis, Siri applied the same championship mindset to defeat cancer, just as she had overcome the heartbreak of her father’s initial rejection after coming out as gay. These profound personal battles have shaped her unique approach to resilience that resonates with audiences worldwide. 

After retiring from professional racing, Siri built one of the most successful coaching legacies in sport, guiding athletes to 11 world championships and Olympic medals. She’s translated these championship strategies into her work with Fortune 500 executives and purpose-driven organizations through her ChampionMind methodology. 

Beyond her athletic and professional achievements, Siri has rescued 326 horses from slaughter through her non-profits, Believe Ranch and Rescue and Horses in Our Hands. She’s the bestselling author of Surfacing: From the Depths of Self-Doubt to Winning Big and Living Fearlessly, and the subject of the powerful documentary Tri Me: The Siri Lindley Story, featuring Tony Robbins and Melissa Etheridge. 

With infectious energy and authentic passion, Siri doesn’t just share her remarkable story—she equips audiences with transformative frameworks that make their own “impossible” achievements not just conceivable, but inevitable. Her mission remains unwavering: to help every person she meets believe in themselves more deeply—and act more boldly than they ever thought possible.
