Blair Braverman Biography

Adventurer, dogsledder, and author Blair Braverman is a riveting storyteller and expert in perseverance. She and her team of dogs have traveled through thousands of miles of wilderness in Alaska, the Yukon, and Scandinavia, and completed the famed Iditarod race. Braverman is the author of "Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube," which was called “stunning and sharp” by The New York Times Book Review, and "Dogs on the Trail: A Year in the Life." She shares epic stories and practical takeaways about developing a practice of grit and courage, working as a team to thrive in high-pressure situations, and breaks down common misconceptions about what makes a powerful leader.

Braverman is a contributing editor for Outside magazine, and her writing has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, and on the This American Life podcast. She and her dog team have been featured on The Today Show and in O: The Oprah Magazine, The Washington Post, TIME, Teen Vogue, and on NPR. An in-demand speaker on cultivating bravery and embracing the unknown, Braverman regularly receives rave reviews such as: “My team at Microsoft was incredibly impressed with Blair’s passion, her depth of knowledge, and her storytelling. Over a year later, we still quote Blair about how there is always a way to get something done. She inspired the team in ways I had not predicted.” (Microsoft)

Blair Braverman Speaking Topics

  • How to Be Brave

    How do you set off into the wilderness, knowing you’ll meet tremendous and unpredictable challenges? In this talk, Braverman uses stories from the trail to demonstrate that courage isn’t a quality, but a practice that combines preparation, problem-solving, and trusting your future self—and she offers practical lessons that anyone can implement in their life and work.

  • Secrets of High-Performing Teams and Leaders

    A team's success depends on how well its members collaborate in high-pressure situations—and no one knows this better than mushers, whose lives depend on trust and teamwork with their dogs. But true leadership is far quieter than many people assume. Using lessons from animal behaviorism, psychology, and her own experience, Braverman breaks down common misunderstandings about leadership and the myth of the “alpha dog,” instead offering a blueprint for confident, collaborative teamwork that helps every member to excel.

  • Digital Storytelling

    How do you tell a story in a tweet? A page? A single caption? In this fun and interactive workshop, Braverman—whose stories on social media have gone viral time and again—shares techniques for establishing characters, conflict, intrigue, and humor in practically no space at all.

  • Author Talk: ‘Small Game’

    In this engaging conversation about her debut novel Small Game, adventurer Blair Braverman shares her journey writing her gripping and provocative exploration of the comforts, rituals, and connections we depend on. An expert in perseverance, Braverman offers insights about how we find the courage to build a new life from the ground up.
