Molly Grantham

Find success in failure and opportunities in reinvention. After two decades at leading multimillion-dollar newscasts with #1 ratings and as the highest-scoring anchor in the market – Molly chose not to renew her contract. She was unexpectedly forced to leave, eight minutes before the shows began. Banned from the building and in the face of a career crisis, Molly flipped front-page questions on their head by transparently betting on herself, taking high-road action, and not waiting around for things to happen. In this talk, she’ll lead you in step-by-step ways of how to uncover power by approaching change with positivity and understanding transformation.

Using examples from her 27-years in news, and leading multimillion-dollar newscasts, Molly will share specifics on how to transform the noise, stay elastic, and create big wins. Her suggestions for your team are superb. Which makes sense: Speaking live to 100,000 people a night and as a public figure accessible on multiple platforms, Molly has decades of experience with difficult environments and tough, critical clients.

    – Stay grounded in the process.

Have fun in this interactive talk that addresses the fact none of us work in silos. All of us – no matter job title – have lives and responsibilities outside of our careers. Molly worked 2:00 p.m.-midnight for 20 years, with no flexibility. That’s 50 hours a week outside of the house (often with travel for national stories), while raising three young children. She is also an acclaimed author and wrote three books about this topic. A talk that leaves you (and the room!) laughing, inspired, and feeling seen. A huge hit with women’s groups and working parents.

The audience will leave with:

– Ownership of their own authentic leadership style, and a profound way to create priorities.

– Empowerment to control self-destiny, while still delivering what’s needed.

– Actionable insights on reaching your potential and not getting bogged down in the noise.
