Norah O'Donnell Speaking Topics

  • Work and Family: Achieving Balance and Leaving Time for Yourself

    Norah O’Donnell has been a career journalist for over a decade and a mother for only a few years but it didn't take her very long to understand that the notion of “work-life balance” really is a misnomer. Things are hardly ever in “balance:” career-oriented women often spending their days prioritizing and re-prioritizing as they’re overtaken by the day’s events. In a funny, candid and poignant presentation, O’Donnell discusses: · The sacrifices of today’s working women and mothers · Insight and solutions that allow them to take the pressure off themselves to achieve anything approximating balance · How to live in the moment at work and at home—and make it all work

  • The Future of U.S. Political Leadership: Women, Minorities and Global Comparisons

    The Obama Administration ushered in a new team reflective of America’s diverse population. While the Executive Branch has achieved diversity, the U.S. Congress, governor seats and state legislatures fall woefully short of reflecting the electorate which is 54% women and 12% African American. Globally, several other countries have had women heads of state. Known for her exceptional research and keen interviewing skills, O’Donnell delves into the lack of diversity in U.S. elected positions by analyzing: · Why America’s office holders lack diversity · Global insight into how the rest of the world is doing in electing women to office · Insight into the extensive mobilization and fundraising involvement of women and minorities in previous campaigns and what it foretells for the future · How the administration’s diversity affects public policy
