	Expertise: Leadership and Courage • Risk-taking • Thriving with Discomfort • Mentoring • Balance Fee Range: $10,000 to $15,000 Location: Florida Fawn Germer has learned the hard way that success is defined by how you handle your obstacles. Her first book, Hard Won Wisdom, was rejected 15 times before it became an Oprah-featured bestseller. That lesson, along with the hundreds of insights from this Pulitzer nominee’s interviews with 200 world-famous leaders has propelled Fawn to the top of the speaking profession. Fawn works with organizations that want more courageous and creative performance from their people. In her mind, excuses don’t count. Results do. This four-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist reveals the strategies of the famed leaders she interviewed for her two best-selling books. She shows how to overcome the naysaying voices from within - and on the outside - to achieve extraordinary performance.

	Fawn has headlined events for Ford Motor Co., Intel, Motorola, JP Morgan and Chase, Novartis, Capital One, GlaxoSmithKline, The American Banker’s Association and even the CIA. This acclaimed investigative reporter has worked as a Florida correspondent for both The Washington Post and U.S. News and World Report. Her distinguished reporting career earned her numerous state and national awards including four Pulitzer Prize nominations and the prestigious Green Eyeshade Award from the Society for Professional Journalists. She has worked as a staff writer for The Miami Herald and Denver's Rocky Mountain News. Her second bestselling book, Mustang Sallies, features interviews with more than 65 astounding trailblazers, including Hillary Clinton, Susan Sarandon, Ann Richards, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Janet Reno, Martina Navratilova, Nadia Comaneci, Arianna Huffington, Carly Fiorina, Erin Brockovich and many, many others. The book looks at how women can find success by being themselves in a world where there is so much pressure to be like everybody else. Audiences love Fawn because she's been there.
