Detailed Biography of Connie Merritt, RN, BSN, PHN


Connie Merritt, RN, BSN, PHN, has been dubbed “The Lion Tamer” for improving relationships at work and home. From her twenty-plus years of professional speaking, she knows how to add value, fun and excitement to your meeting. Her programs draw from her experience as a nurse, author, coach, speaker, rehabilitation equestrienne, wife, sales star, volunteer, fundraiser, actress, recuperating overachiever and recovering superwoman.

With boundless energy and humor, Connie connects with her audience by spinning unforgettable tales plus being open and down-to-earth. She links her experiences such as flying the Goodyear blimp, training her horse to be an equine therapist and coping with community disasters to lessons and skills everyone can use. Her highly involved presentation will strike you where you live--she has helped more than 1 million make their lives simpler and more fun.

When called upon as a healthcare expert, Merritt’s presentation brings the latest research on the state of our healthcare systems to corporations and associations. Fields such as genomics, bioinformatics, and pharmacogenics get the full treatment; she explores the options and opportunities for teaching wellness and coordinating patients with their environment, technology, and treatments. When you need a speaker who's part college professor, part philosopher, and part comedienne: Connie's essential for your next meeting.

Author of Too Busy for Your Own Good (McGraw-Hill, 2009) to invigorate and inspire the over committed and overwhelmed, and the award-winning Finding Love (Again!), and The Taming Guidebook Series (on difficult people, men and women, stress reduction and desk yoga). She synthesizes the latest research from medicine, psychology, sociology, and business to help you work and live smarter, not harder.

Merritt volunteers weekly teaching Equine Assisted Therapy to physically and mentally disabled children and adults. She chairs community fund-raising events that raise more than $2,000,000 a year. She founded the Free Clinic in Laguna Beach, which is now fully funded by Orange County (CA). Other monumental moments include starring in the National Geographic underwater film, The Beauty of Long Point and successfully avoiding collision with a California condor during her first cross-country solo flight. Merritt augmented her American Medical Association scholarship by yearly appearing on television quiz shows and performs a stand-up comedy routine on relationships.
