Keynote speaker Fawn Germer’s leadership message went everywhere last year, with four events across China and Taiwan, followed by a keynote for Cisco in Barcelona. She just spoke at the Harvard Business School’s leadership conference and her 2011 calendar is packed with major events because she is inspiring, insightful — and she has personally interviewed world renown leaders on what it takes to win.
She’ll energize your spirit, wake you up to your untapped potential and show you what you are doing to sabotage your success. All the while, Fawn will make you laugh as you re-focus your vision and dare to be daring.
Whether she’s speaking in front of an audience of thousands, huddling with the nation’s most accomplished leaders or mentoring a new generation, Fawn unleashes the possibility that exists once we embrace our obstacles and dare to stand up and lead. In the last twelve months, this best-selling, Oprah-featured author has keynoted for Xerox, Cisco, NASA, Michaels, State Farm Insurance, The Department of Defense, Novartis, State Street Financial, The Network of Executive Women, ADP, Brown-Forman, the Association for Corporate Growth and many, many other major associations and corporations. Fawn is a four-time, Pulitzer Prize nominated journalist and has personally interviewed more than 300 famous leaders and legends for their perspective on leadership and success.
Last year, she released her sixth book, The Ah-Hah! Moment and is working on another book — on leadership in a globalized market.
]]>Fawn is the four-time, Pulitzer-nominated journalist who interviewed the greatest women of our times on what they learned the hard way. From them, she learned how self-esteem issues hinder women at every level. Fawn teaches us to use that insight to help us move beyond our self-esteem and confidence issues so we can boldly take charge of our lives and be more successful.
Along the way, this best-selling author of five books has interviewed women including Hillary Clinton, Martina Navratilova, Susan Sarandon, Erin Brockovich, Jane Goodall, Helen Thomas, Cokie Roberts and women prime ministers, presidents, CEOs, Nobel Peace Prize winners, Olympic athletes and more.
Fawn’s own inspiring story — and the stories of the women she has profiled — help us to expect obstacles and use them as defining moments to rise above and achieve. Especially now, as so many people are giving up because of the economy, Fawn sees this as the moment to gain ground. Her new book, Finding the UP in the Downturn, is a plan for succeeding — regardless.
That’s what Fawn is all about. The defining moment of her storied career as a veteran investigative reporter came when a new editor rolled into town and told her she would never be any more than she was right then. “You aren’t going anywhere,” he told her. And then she went on to be one of the nation’s most sought-after keynote speakers.
Fawn has keynoted for Coca-Cola, Kraft, Ford Motor Co., GlaxoSmithKline, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, 3M, Motorola — and many, many other companies. See her testimonial page to see what others think of her. She’s absolutely remarkable.
