Molly Grantham

Molly's ease in connecting people and clever wit make her a sought-after and popular speaker. Her insight into managing crises, bringing authenticity into work, and being a current-day journalist in an ever-changing industry, provides real-life parallels to draw for any company. She can customize a keynote for your audience. Molly is a 3x-Emmy winning journalist who anchors the 5p, 6p, and 11p newscasts at a top-rated CBS-affiliate in a major metropolitan city. She is the author of two books -- both funny, raw takes on parenting in the face of public and social pressures, while embracing the many messy truths. Her Tedx Talk, called "The Real We Are," focused on succeeding by not being perfect, an unheard topic for a woman who lives a stereotypically image-oriented job. When Molly takes the stage, she gives behind-the-scenes knowledge of how to get your story told (hint: It's not about a press release), how to remain calm and adaptable when communicating through crisis (something she practices weekly lessons as solo-anchor of a #1 newscast in a large city — the buck stops with her), how to have crucial conversations, and tips in building successful relationships with people — all types of people — across a spectrum of views. But Molly is most often invited to talk about bringing authenticity to your job. As a woman who works 2p-midnight with three young kids in a high-profile career, while serving her community and giving back… Molly walks the walk. She can inspire on how to keep it real, get it all done, and not lose yourself in the process. She says the best testimonials are people who approach her and say, “I feel seen."
