199: Dare To Own You: You Know More Than You Think
Liz Brunner is an Emmy award-winning journalist who co-anchored the number one rated 6 pm newscast at WCVB-TV 5, Boston’s ABC network affiliate. In 2013, she became the CEO and founder of Brunner Communications and launched Brunner Academy.com in 2020. A certified professional coach, expert communications coach, and motivational speaker, she is also the host of the multi-award-winning podcast, Live Your Best Life with Liz Brunner. She is the author of the book Dare to Own You: Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams Into Your Next Chapter, which Forbes described as a teaching memoir.
Liz says she’s in the fourth chapter of her career. She grew up in a family that was very involved in music, performing in her church choir and with her family in front of their congregation. Liz attended Lawrence University's Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin, became a high school music teacher, and sang semi-professionally for a time. After a few years of teaching, Liz felt there was something else she was supposed to do. While working a retail job to pay the bills, she considered many career options by reading books and taking self-assessments. Then, one day she bravely cold-called the NBC and CBS affiliates in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where she had been living, to request informational interviews. It took about six months of conversations, but one of the stations actually created a role for Liz. The rest, as they say, is history. Thus began Liz’s career in communications and TV news broadcasting.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Liz’s journey:
Liz won the title of Miss Illinois in the Miss America Scholarship Pageant in 1979. This enabled her to pay for her college education, a proud achievement.
She was the only Boston reporter to land an exclusive interview with President Barack Obama in the White House. It took her four years to get it!
