Keynote Speaker: Pulitzer Prize Nominated Investigative Reporter; Women's Leadership Speaker; Bestselling Author of "Hard Won Wisdom"

Fawn Germer Biography

Fawn Germer is the irreverent, beloved bestselling author of nine books including the Oprah book, "Hard Won Wisdom." She has been a keynote speaker for nearly 100 Fortune 500 companies and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize four times for her work as an investigative reporter.

Germer’s first book was rejected by every major publisher in the United States, but Germer would not give up until it was the No. 1 nonfiction bestseller that Oprah loved. Her newest book, "Coming Back," on St. Martin’s Press, shows how to turbocharge your career by changing the way you change.

She is co-host of the wildly popular "Hard Won Wisdom" podcast, which is sponsored by the national Women’s Leadership Network.

Germer is an inspiring storyteller and life adventurer. She’s learned plenty the hard way, and is as authentic as they come. She interviewed hundreds of the most accomplished leaders of our times, including famous CEOs, prime ministers, presidents, Nobel Peace Prize winners, scientists, Academy Award winners and many other trailblazers who revealed that success is born in risk, and power comes from consciously disabling your doubt and self-esteem issues.

Fawn Germer Speaking Topics

Women's Leadership

After Fawn’s breakthrough best-seller, Hard Won Wisdom, Fawn became one of America’s fiercest forces of motivation for women who needed the courage to take risks, bet on themselves and dare to do what scared them. This is the work Fawn was born to do. She has headlined women’s leadership events for groups as small as 30 and as large as 200,000.

You'll Never Learn to Fly if You Won't Jump Off the Cliff

What separates people in the middle from those at the top? Guts. If you can’t take the risk, you can’t reap the rewards. That means making tough decisions when you aren’t 100% sure, going for things you think you can’t get, and believing you can do anything and that you deserve everything.

Hard Won Wisdom

Fawn has interviewed more than 300 of the most accomplished leaders and trailblazers of our times for their mentoring wisdom. Learn from what they learned the hard way and what they know through experience will fast-track your career. This unforgettable hour includes lessons for work and home that will make you stronger, more courageous, more successful – and happier.

Finding the UP in the Downturn

Most people are just trying to survive the obstacles of a very chaotic, unpredictable world. Get out of survival mode and figure out how to use it to create opportunity. Fawn teaches how to accept, cope and adapt so you face your obstacles as a warrior – not a victim. If you are working, it’s time to identify the unmet needs and stand up and lead. If you are looking for work, shut down your worry and ramp up the action plan that gets you plugged in and placed. No excuses.

Work-Life Reset

It’s not about balance. It’s about CHOICES. Technology makes it possible to work 24/7 and still have more you could be doing. Fawn teaches how to make the decision and set boundaries so you can live your life rather than drown in a rut. She has been ranked the No. 1 work-life balance speaker by the prestigious International Leadership Consortium for the past six years. This is the topic of her extremely popular TedX talk.
