It's not easy these jobs we do. But put that aside for a moment and today - these moments - is really what it's all about. Little opportunities we have to, maybe in small and big ways, affect students' lives. Because we don't know what today will mean to them. (Although, talking to them afterward, I have a pretty good idea!) And the chance to be in someone like that's presence, or to ask a question. Like Hannah, who graduated in December. Someone who is immensely talented, but wondering when the right job opportunity is going to come her way. To hear, from someone like Woodward, don't quit. Push. Go out and take it. Fight for it. What that could mean to a young grad like her, or anyone else in that room Oh, man. Isn't that what this whole experience is all about?!? | Professor | |

Bob Woodward | Speaker Biography

About Bob Woodward

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist
Washington Post editor since 1971
Exposed Watergate scandal with Carl Bernstein
Bob Woodward is an investigative journalist who reveals hidden truths of Washington politics with unprecedented access to power brokers. His factual, non-partisan approach offers audiences an authentic view of leadership unavailable elsewhere.

As associate editor for The Washington Post since 1971 and author of 23 bestselling books (17 reaching #1), Bob has earned two Pulitzer Prizes and numerous journalism awards. His work with Carl Bernstein exposing the Watergate scandal transformed political reporting.

Bob's research methodology combines internal memos, classified documents, and hundreds of interview hours with key figures, including presidents. This approach helps organizations understand high-level decision-making, navigate complex political environments, and develop transparent leadership cultures during challenging periods. His insights prove particularly valuable for institutions seeking to build trust while operating within politically sensitive contexts.

Audiences gain concrete strategies for effective leadership under pressure, methods for uncovering truth in an era of spin, and comprehensive understanding of Washington's power mechanisms. Bob's historical context paired with current analysis provides leaders with actionable perspective for today's complex challenges.

Book Bob Woodward for an authoritative analysis that reveals the inner workings of power and delivers the unvarnished truth your audience requires.
