Biography

A two-time world champion triathlete and winner of twelve ITU World Cup races, Siri Lindley inspires and energizes her audiences, bringing out the best in an organization’s employees and teams.

Siri is one of Tony Robbins’ favorite motivational speakers. With an infectious and authentic passion, she empowers audiences to strive for peak performance, and to work through and ultimately conquer the demons of fear and self-doubt that hold themselves and their co-workers back. 

Siri helps teams win by living fearlessly, developing the critical traits needed for authentic leadership and building business team mindsets for resilience and success. She establishes a remarkable connection with every audience member and gets to the heart of habits and rituals that drive high performance. 

In late 2019, Siri faced her own difficult battle when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Despite being given less than a 10% chance of survival at the time of her diagnosis, she was pronounced cancer-free by her doctors in May 2020. Today her belief in thriving, not just surviving, guides others to master their own mindsets, emotions and purpose. Siri’s second book, Finding a Way: Taking the Impossible and Making it Possible (2023), provides readers with the tools needed to overcome their struggles and achieve the life they want to live.

Siri Lindley is married to Rebekah Keat, also a world-class triathlete and coach. Together they run the Sirius Tri Club for triathletes and Sirius Squad which gets people off the couch and into a fitter, healthier lifestyle. They have also co-founded two non-profits based outside Denver, Colorado: Believe Ranch and Rescue dedicated to rescuing horses from slaughter, and Horses in Our Hands, lobbying to ban horse slaughter. They have reached more than 90 million homes with their social media campaign, raising national awareness about this brutal practice.
