Donnie SC Lygonis

I work at KTH Innovation at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, where I help researchers and students turn ideas and research into viable ventures. My focus is on commercialization, go-to-market strategy, and execution.Alongside my university role, I build and scale ventures.I am the Founder of Mellanmål Inc, a platform bringing Nordic, better-for-you food brands to the US market. The work is hands-on and operational: product and packaging decisions, FDA and regulatory setup, distribution, retail and e-commerce, partnerships, and fundraising.I am also the Founder of Entrepreneurs Without Borders, a global nonprofit supporting impact ventures aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We organize through local Impact Chapters—groups that meet regularly to support entrepreneurs locally while connecting into a global network.As a keynote speaker, I speak internationally on innovation, leadership, and change. My keynotes are grounded in lived experience from building companies, raising capital, and working with founders and organizations under pressure to change.I’m open to conversations with investors, donors, strategic partners, and am available for keynote and speaking engagements internationally.

Fitness Instructor

I have been working as a fitness instructor since 1994. I started out at a small but great gym called Saga Motion and then moved on to Olympic Fitness in Göteborg, that was later aquired by SATS, and at the same time I started working as a boxing instructor. When I moved back to Stockholm I moved over to Kroppskultur and evolved into kickboxing and more classic boxing. After that I spent five years at World Class Vasastan and nowadays you'll find me at Nordic Wellness Odenplan Stockholm.

On a Mission to Help Thought Leaders Rise as Global Voices of Impact 🎤

In 2022, my life changed forever.
What once terrified me—speaking—became the spark that ignited my calling. That moment wasn’t just about finding my voice. It was about helping others discover theirs.

Today, I help thought leaders grow influential brands, land TEDx talks, and become global voices of transformation.

As a Forbes-featured entrepreneur, International TEDx Speaker, 2× Bestselling Author, Podcast Host, and Award-Winning Speaker, I’ve built a proven system to help speakers, consultants, and CEOs elevate their message and confidently lead movements that matter.

Whether you're launching a podcast, applying for TEDx, or building your authority in a crowded space, I bring both strategy and soul to your success.


What I Do:

• Help entrepreneurs + speakers become TEDx speakers

• Build magnetic brands that drive revenue to your business

• Land TV interviews and launch profitable podcasts

• Coach leaders using my GRASP™ Method (Gratitude, Responsibility, Action, Sight, Purpose)

• Host the globally ranked GRASP Confidence podcast


I believe confidence is a calling, not a personality trait and that leadership grounded in faith, strategy, and action can change the world.

From rural Maryland as the youngest child of five raised by a single mother to global stages, I’m proof that when you bet on yourself anything is possible.

My purpose is to help others rise in their God-given identity and pursue their callings with confidence. ❤️



𝘼𝙨 𝙖 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧 & 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩:
I deliver high-impact keynotes and workshops on leadership and personal growth, blending confidence with business strategies that create lasting transformation and success. 

𝘼𝙨 𝙖 𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨:
I help thought leaders refine their messaging, position their brands for success, land TEDx talks, build global influence, and turn their stories into movements. My clients step onto world-class stages and lead businesses with clarity, purpose, and conviction.


Are you ready to elevate your impact, brand, leadership, and confidence? Let’s build something extraordinary together!
