Who I Am
I’m Lyndre Diederichs (PhD), an Impact Strategist with a focus on helping Canadian based researchers activate the full potential of their work. With a background in strategic planning and communications, I help researchers share their work beyond academia in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
What I Do (in plain terms)
I work with researchers to build Impact & Visibility plans you can actually run. That usually looks like:
- clarifying impact goals and audiences
- making a simple pathway for visibility and engagement
- design authentic personal branding
- setting up light-touch systems you can keep up in ~1 hr/week
- creating or refining a small set of “evergreen” assets (profiles, website copy, talk outlines)
- aligning with knowledge-mobilization expectations—without the buzzwords
These strategies help meet growing expectations around Knowledge Mobilization and research impact—showing funders, institutions, and collaborators that your work is being shared and applied.
See the Services page for more options.
How I Work
Discrete, collaborative, practical, and tailored. With respect for your time.
- short discovery call → focused plan → gentle activation
- clear scope and timeline; no content treadmill
- evidence-based outcomes
- we move at the pace your life allows
My experience at a glance
- PhD (Environmental Science) + 14 years in interdisciplinary academia
- Research Coordinator, University of British Columbia Okanagan
- 10+ years supporting impact and partnerships across academia, business and non-profits
- Work with logic models, impact pathways, and evidence-informed KMb practice
What this isn’t
- not hype, not “personal branding for the sake of it”
- not a social-media hamster wheel
- not one-size-fits-all templates
