Today we’d like to introduce you to Liz Brunner.
Hi Liz, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My career journey spans multiple chapters and industries. I’m currently in what I call my “4th professional chapter” having begun my career as a high school music teacher and singing semi-professionally. When I left teaching, I worked in retail for a brief spell. My next chapter was a 28-year career as an Emmy Award winning TV main news anchor and reporter in three different markets, the last 20-years at ABC-TV, WCVB NewsCenter 5 in Boston where I conducted exclusive interviews with prominent figures: professional athletes, global political leaders, including President Barack Obama and cultural icons such as Oprah Winfrey.
After my successful broadcasting career, in 2013 I launched Brunner Communications as the CEO & Founder. As a Professional Certified Communications Coach, (CPC) I guide clients how to find their authentic voice, gain more command, presence, confidence and leadership skills. I also help them get “unstuck,” discovering how to connect their life experiences to create their next chapters, helping them transition from where they are, to where they want to go, to who they want to be, professionally or personally.
Along with my coaching practice, I am a keynote speaker, professional emcee, award-winning podcast host and best-selling author of “Dare to Own You: Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams into Your Next Chapter,” recommended by Forbes as a “teaching memoir.”
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ve been very fortunate that my entire business has been built on referral, and yet, after 11+-years as a small business owner, being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart, especially in the personal services industry. One of the biggest challenges is being able to ride the waves of “uncertainty” that come with not knowing where or when your next client will come. Being an entrepreneur requires a certain type of mindset to continually adapt, pivot, be flexible and resilient.
