Molly Grantham
Molly Grantham helps organizations build confidence and communicate with impact. A 4x Emmy-winning journalist and anchor who led #1 newscasts for 20 years, she now delivers keynotes for clients including Google, Bank of America, and Coca-Cola Consolidated.
Molly Grantham is a 4x Emmy Award-winning journalist and anchor with a 27-year broadcast career spanning ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates. For two decades, she anchored the #1 primetime newscast in her market and conducted more than 15,000 live interviews, including national segments for CNN and the Today Show.
In 2024, she founded the Bet On Yourself Summit, a sell-out event held at an NFL stadium that brought together thousands of people ready to invest in themselves. The summit marked a new chapter: taking the principles she'd developed on air, from leading under pressure to communicating with clarity and performing without a safety net, and translating them into keynote content for corporate audiences.
Her client list includes Google, Bank of America, Coca-Cola Consolidated, Atrium Health, Wells Fargo, and Takeda. She speaks on confidence, communication, resilience, and high performance, drawing on firsthand experience of navigating a high-stakes, high-visibility career while raising three children.
Molly is also the author of three books: Small Victories, The Juggle Is Real, and Practice Makes... Progress. Each is rooted in honest, practical storytelling about ambition, setbacks, and growth.
Book Molly Grantham for practical, story-driven keynotes on confidence and communication from someone who spent 27 years delivering under live pressure.
Topics, sessions and talks
After two decades leading top-rated newscasts, Molly Grantham chose not to renew her contract, then was abruptly locked out of the building eight minutes before air. Rather than wait for answers, she bet on herself, launching the sell-out Bet On Yourself Summit with a 1,600-plus waitlist within a month. In this session, Molly shows how to look through the windshield rather than the rearview, find the clarity and courage to take initiative, and build confidence that strengthens both the individual and the team.
Perfection was never the point. Drawing on 27 years in news, leading multimillion-dollar newscasts and speaking live to 100,000 people a night, Molly Grantham shows how fundamental steps combined with imaginative moves deliver long-term wins. She shares specifics on transforming the noise, staying elastic under pressure, and handling tough, critical clients. Simple, workable suggestions for managing relationships, a reminder that leadership is a choice, and a case for development as a cornerstone of organizations that flourish.
Effective communication remains our best currency. After decades in the public eye and its pressures, Molly Grantham relays the three-word mantra she uses to navigate complicated conversations and build a culture of collaboration. She shares insider techniques from mass communication and storytelling, showing how to create a community of peers that amplifies belonging and voice. Words carry weight: choosing the right ones builds trust, sharpens command presence, and sets the standard others follow.
None of us work in silos: everyone has a life beyond the job title. Molly Grantham worked 2 p.m. to midnight for 20 years with no flexibility, raising three young children and writing three acclaimed books on the topic. In this interactive session she shares a three-step process for being authentic, getting it all done, and staying grounded, leaving the room laughing, feeling seen, and equipped to set priorities, own their leadership style, and deliver without drowning in the noise.
A 4x Emmy Award-winning journalist, Molly anchored the #1 primetime newscast in her market for two decades and conducted over 15,000 live interviews, including segments for CNN and the Today Show. She now speaks to corporate audiences on confidence and communication, drawing on that broadcast experience for teams facing high-stakes moments.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
