Lynnette Oss Connell

Lynnette Oss Connell believes that sustainable success happens at the intersection of self-awareness and strategy, not on the altar of self-sacrifice. Lynnette is your Burnout Bestie, a real-life, real-human coach dedicated to helping individual accountants and firm leaders escape the burnout cycle and create healthier, more sustainable lives and organizations. With warmth, wit, and wisdom, she engages clients and audiences on a profound, perspective-shifting journey of deep self-discovery paired with actionable, data-back strategy. Whether you are leading a team struggling with burnout or quietly battling burnout yourself, Lynnette’s grounded and actionable approach will leave you feeling reinspired and empowered to take back control over chronic stress and the systems that reinforce it. With over two decades in the accounting industry, Lynnette deeply understands the pressures accounting professionals face. Starting as an auditor in public accounting, then as a fractional controller, and finally as the co-owner of a successful CAAS firm, she bought into the narrative that success is purchased at the price of one’s mental health. After health challenges forced her to confront her chronic, cyclical burnout head-on, Lynnette made the decision to exit her own accounting firm and dedicate herself to helping others prevent and recover from burnout at all stages of their careers. Lynnette currently provides individual coaching to accountants, group training sessions, and keynote presentations. When not deep in conversation or down a research rabbit-hole, she can be found in the yoga studio or out on a hike.
