Fawn Germer has the secret code to the professional playbook. If you think hard work and excellent performance put you on the fast track, you’re wrong—it puts you on no track at all.

Bestselling author Fawn Germer went to the nation’s most powerful corporate leaders to ask what it takes to take charge.

She was told this: Performance is mandatory, but it is only one piece of what Fawn has identified as a three-pronged strategy that has been used to push all limits and succeed beyond the wildest of dreams.

Fawn’s keynote presentations feature breakthrough insights gleaned from

personal interviews with both the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies

and the senior leaders who will take charge next. Fawn

shows how to take charge by combining those strategies

with the wisdom gained in her interviews with icons and trailblazers, including Hillary Clinton, Erin Brockovich, Martina

Navratilova, Jane Goodall, Nobel Peace Prize winners, Olympic athletes, Academy Award winners, and more.

From those interviews, this four-time Pulitzer-nominated journalist has distilled success and leadership strategies that no other speaker can offer. Only Fawn Germer has gone to the CEOs, company presidents, CFOs, COOs,

EVPs, and SVPs who broke the barriers that hold others back. They told her what worked—and what didn’t.

Oprah told the world how “very inspiring” Fawn’s work is, and it’s true; Fawn Germer is one of the most entertaining speakers on the circuit today. After a recent keynote, Coca-Cola President Sandy Douglas asked, “Have you thought of doing standup?”

Fawn shows us that:

� “No guts, no glory” is true.

� Networking is working. Relationships drive careers.

� Success often comes when you dare to do something you know nothing about.

� The path to the senior office is usually not a straight line up. It may involve lateral or even downward moves to expand expertise.

� You create your next job promotion by volunteering for additional duties, then overdelivering results.

� There is a specific “language” of leadership.

� This generation of leaders can’t waste time on perfection in a marketplace that moves faster than you can line up your ducks.

Her interviews with these business leaders led Fawn to develop 200 core rules for leadership and career success, and these rules are the cornerstones of her new series of keynote presentations.

Fawn is the bestselling author of seven books, including an Oprah pick. 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 and was an editor for The Tampa Tribune.

Fawn’s Books PearlsJanuary, 2012 Newhouse Books

Get ready for the most life-changing mentoring session you have ever had, guided

by many of the strongest, most accomplished women leaders of our times. Author Fawn Germer’s Pearls brings together the wisdom of prime ministers and presidents, CEOs and Nobel Peace Prize winners, adventurers, Academy Award winners, scientists, journalists, Olympic athletes, newsmakers, senior executives and other women who have captured our hearts while making history. This deluxe gift book is a treasure that will give you clarity, courage and direction as you face the challenges of your career and personal life.

The Ah-Hah! MomentSummer, 2010 Strauss Books

We all have a story about ourselves, and usually, it’s powerful fiction. Fawn Germer shows how to take charge of your thoughts, re-write your negative scripts and live a full life unencumbered by

emotional baggage. How do you let go of that baggage and grab on to all of life’s potential? You answer the questions and have your Ah-Hah! Moment. If you are like most people, there are times when you tell yourself you are too fat, too thin, too slow, too hyper, too loud, too soft, too young or too old. You tell yourself you don’t measure up - in relationships, at work, at home and within. Ah-hah – none of that is real. In The Ah-Hah! Moment, you will do the work to mentally and physically position yourself for a productive and fulfilled life.

Finding the UP in the Downturn Spring, 2009 Newhouse Books

There is a Chinese proverb that says, “Fall down seven times, get up eight.” Right now, as your co-workers, neighbors, friends and family members swallow

their daily dose of bad news and see only bad times ahead, take a deep breath. While everyone else is giving in or giving up, your moment has arrived. Whether you want to gain ground in your corporate job, have recently been laid off, or are flirting with starting a business, a downturn can be the right time to charge ahead. Bestselling author Fawn Germer shows us how the one variable we can control – ourselves — is our most powerful weapon in the battle for prosperity and success, and illustrates why now is not the time to stop, but to accelerate.

The NEW Woman Rules Fall, 2007 in exclusive release throughNetwork Books

The most powerful women in American business today cleared their calendars for exhaustive interviews with best-selling author Fawn Germer. They shared their

personal triumphs and defeats, and passed on what they had learned the hard way. After completing more than fifty interviews, Fawn distilled a comprehensive list of more than 200 “how-to” rules for leadership and success that cannot be found anywhere else. The “new woman” is ruling, and this book shows how. Among her interview subjects are CEOs from Kraft, eBay, PepsiCo, Reynolds America, Sweetbay, Pathmark, Sara Lee and more. Joining them are the most senior women executives from Wal-mart, Procter and Gamble, General Mills, Campbell’s Soup, Chevron, Johnson & Johnson and others.

Mustang Sallies Fall, 2004 Penguin / Perigee Books

“Germer’s advice is specific and illuminating. If you’ve ever felt judged and isolated at work for being who you are, Germer’s book offers support, encouragement and strategies for coming through with your self and your goals intact.” — Publisher’s Weekly

Mustangs were the original wild horses of the West: tough, agile, quick to learn--and unwilling to run with the herd. And, like the daring woman in the famous song, today’s Mustang Sallies question the rules, challenge the status quo, and dare to make a little noise. For this book, Fawn interviewed everyone from Hillary Clinton to Martina Navratilova, Susan Sarandon to Erin Brockovich, and more than 75 others. The result is an engaging, provocative guide for women determined to charge ahead and succeed on their own terms.

Hard Won WisdomFall, 2001 Penguin / Perigee Books

“If you want to read a very inspiring book, read Hard Won Wisdom.” — Oprah Winfrey

Hard Won Wisdom captured Oprah’s fancy and launched Fawn onto the best-seller list. The book features inspiration and

mentoring advice from Nobel Peace Prize winners, women presidents and prime ministers, Academy Award winners, Olympic athletes and more. Fawn interviewed fifty icons, from Jane Goodall to Helen Thomas to Cokie Roberts and Rita Moreno. They share a perspective on self-awareness and balance that will dare you to leave your rut and redefine yourself in extraordinary terms. It hits hard at the self-esteem issues that hold so many women back, and offers a clear strategy to lift readers out of their anxiety and onto a path toward success.

From Fawn’s latest release, Pearls

“What separates an ordinary woman from an extraordinary woman? The belief that she is ordinary.”

—Jody Williams, 1997 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for the movement against land mines

“It’s a real challenge to be yourself. Obviously, that doesn’t mean you can be rude or discourteous and get away with ill behavior, but at the end of the day, you have to be satisfied about who you are. Nobody else can live your life.”

—Hillary Clinton

“Someone once told me, ‘You are such a hard worker.’ I answered, ‘The truth is, I’m really lazy. Thank God I am brilliant.’”

—Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell

“When I would say, ‘I’m Gayle Greer,’ it wasn’t enough to stop. It was, ‘I’m Gayle Greer, senior vice president of Time Warner.’ One day, you look around and you have all the things you think you should have, and you still aren’t there. You don’t feel right.”

—Gayle Greer, who now just says she is Gayle Greer

“Many people resist risk and are only comfortable with the security of knowing, when they go to sleep at night, what the next day is going to be like. That’s comforting. It’s secure. And living like that is a choice they are free

to make. I recognize the importance most people place on having structure in their lives. Not having structure can be disconcerting. They should not try to do what I do if structure brings them peace and comfort. Risk is a choice. It is the only way to test your potential.”

—Oceanographer Sylvia Earle, “Her Deepness”

“There is this very macho mind-game playing that men do—a lot of bravado. They lie about how their team looks or what their plans are or how they are running their race. They either act cocky like they have a better chance of winning than they actually do or they act really humble when they actually have an incredible chance of winning. I have watched them win using this mind game. I couldn’t play it and I finally went to not playing mind games. I just had the best possible team I could have, and I was honest about my chances. They’d ask a question and I’d be 100 percent truthful. That was confusing to them. They didn’t get my ways any more than I got theirs.”

—The phenomenal, late Susan Butcher, winner of four Iditarod titles

The main thing you have is the strength of your reputation, and you build on that day in and day out by the decisions you make.”

—Carolyn Carl, vice president, the Coca-Cola Company

I have an appreciation for what real drama and crisis are. It is not here. This is business. You want to embrace the business, but you don’t want it to smother you. If it becomes who you are, you have a problem.”

—Mary Beth West, executive vice president, Kraft Foods

“If there was ever a point in time that I said, ‘No, I don’t know enough, I’m not ready,’ I would have missed out on the next experience. It is all about the chain of experiences. Each one has enabled the next one. You can learn whatever it is you have to learn.”

—Marie Quintana, vice president, PepsiCo

Your Viability Blueprint: Taking Charge of Your Career TrackAre you painting yourself invisible in the professional world? If you aren’t consciously defining yourself with viability, you probably are. Those who hate change, can’t stand proving themselves and begrudgingly accept new technology are a drag on the bottom line and destined to be left behind. “The rules have changed,” says bestselling author Fawn Germer. “You can’t wait this out and you can’t coast, because those who do are diving into irrelevance. Success now depends on adaptability and an ever-changing skills set.” That is the viability formula that gives you the direction and incentive to take charge over your career and drive it deliberately, rather than being run over by hesitation.

Fawn shows how to:

Finding the UP in the DownturnYou’ve read the news stories. You’ve checked the market. The bad news doesn’t stop. So why is it that America’s largest companies are hiring international leadership speaker Fawn Germer to speak on leadership at a time when they are slashing budgets? Because Fawn has the chops and strategies to change the performance dynamics that either doom a company or lift it above the fray. Fawn declares a cease-fire on negativity and brings her audience into a realm of possibility. Nationally, we have a fearful, beleaguered workforce. While senior-senior executives figure ways to cut here and add there, they will turn to those who hyper-perform, overdeliver and come up with new ideas for a changing landscape. Instead of cowering, it is the moment where we must muster the courage and ingenuity to rise above.

Her theory:

FAWN GERMER’S OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.fawngermer.com BLOG: www.hardwonwisdom.com [email protected] (727) 467-0202

� Project manage the rest of your career so you are positioned to create and take advantage of change moments, rather than react to them.

� Show that you are a point person who can lead others into change.

� Identify which technologies and cultural shifts are going to drive the next wave of success and beyond.

� Manage the stress that comes from the need to

constantly tether yourself to electronic devices that require immediate attention.

� Gain notice and create viability if you are young

� Win friends and influence a generation that thinks you are old news.

� Actively brand yourself so you are relevant, purposeful and viable.

� Expect the worst? You’ll get it.

� When everyone else gives up, the window is wide open for those who don’t.

� You can profit from a failing economy.

� When you fall down, get back up!

� You never know how close you are to turning the corner until you turn the corner.

� Companies are crying out for leadership, so stand up and lead!

� If you’re going through Hell, keep on going

� Turn off the autopilot and overdeliver in order to define yourself as a contributor.

It’s Not About Work-Life Balance. It’s About Choices.Work-life Balance. We’ve all heard those words so much it’s as if they have merged into a simple mantra which, if we repeat them enough, will manifest. “Work-life balance.” Poof! Look at her! See that career woman climb that company ladder! Look how happy her marriage is! My, aren’t her children beautiful, successful and happy! She still has time to cook gourmet recipes, clean house and have great sex! Not only that, she still plays tennis, too!

It doesn’t work like that. Fawn will show participants how to:

Networking is WorkingSuccessful people know that it’s “jacks or better” to get into the game. That means results are important--but they only get you into the game. You also need the right image and the right exposure. That comes down to relationships, and relationships come down to networking, and good networking involves personal marketing. Here are the techniques that senior leaders have used to bond with the decision-makers and people of influence who mentored them to the top.

Participants will learn to:

� Shed guilt, manage priorities and turn turmoil into peace.

� Use the same strategies as America’s busiest women, who have managed to prioritize family and success.

� Create a personal zone so they don’t lose themselves while taking care of everyone else’s demands.

� Confront “upheaval” decisions like relocating or taking assignments that may upset their home lives.

� Set boundaries that make impossible situations completely workable.

� Dare to make allies at the highest levels.

� Leverage a lunch, party or casual encounter in the hallway into a networking relationship.

� Talk to anybody, anywhere, about anything.

� Grow a superficial encounter into a mentoring opportunity.

� Stay in touch without appearing needy, opportunistic or desperate.

� Wind up in the right place at the right time with the right people.

� Turn a networking relationship into career results.

� Make peace with your self-esteem issues, embrace who you really are, then go for it.

� See that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the belief that you are ordinary.

� Take risks.

� Stop competing with each other and start propelling one another forward.

� Ask for favors and build mentorships.

� Realize that networking is mandatory, and it’s all about friendship.

� Give up on perfection and be decisive.

You’ll Never Learn to Fly If You Won’t Jump Off the CliffThis is the performance jolt you need to leave the ranks and excel without limits. Keynote speaker Fawn Germer shows how to get past the self-esteem traps and negativity so you can see possibilities and take the leap from ordinary to extraordinary. In more than 300 interviews with renowned leaders, Fawn heard one success strategy over and over again: If you want to succeed, you must be able to take a risk. We don’t like risk because we are terrified of failing. But you have to risk failing in order to test your limits. This leadership expert will motivate and inspire you to:

Hard Won WisdomIf you only have an hour to hear the most entertaining and inspiring material from leadership speaker Fawn Germer’s interviews with great leaders, this is the hour to spend.

� Break from the herd.

� Boost self-confidence so you don’t chicken out or quit.

� Learn that the timing for a risk is rarely perfect, but risk can be fortified.

� Dare to go for opportunities you assume you can’t get or master.

� Stop thinking of a career as a climb up the ladder and instead view it as a highway with twists, turns, off-ramps and on-ramps that will get you to your ultimate destination.

� Volunteer for projects that get exposure and add influence.

Karin Thrift , Director of National Accounts, Clif Bar & Company

“I kept hearing participants wondering why it had to end so soon. You gave them a formula to move forward and take the risks in times that are tough.

Stephanie Allen, Women’s Vision Foundation

“Fawn is a wonderful author, speaker and friend whom the Network of Executive Women considers one of its greatest supporters. We hired Fawn to write a book about the amazing women leaders of our industry--a real turning point for our organization-- as we published it and sold over 15,000 copies! Fawn has been a key partner touring the country and facilitating panels of the women featured in the book at our various regional events… Fawn continues to be a source of inspiration, ideas and support for the Network--she embodies our ideals of diversity, inclusion, and finding one’s voice.”
