Fawn Germer’s Summary
Fawn began her career as a newspaper reporter but eventually ran into a boss who told her she'd never amount to any more than what she was right then. She sure showed him.
In the decade since, she has written four books -- three nonfiction books on leadership and one popular novel. She is one of the nation's most acclaimed keynote speakers, having been the headliner for numerous Fortune 500 companies. Plus, Oprah loved her book. It doesn't get better than that.
