Bob Woodward’s Speech Topics

  • Election 2024: A year of presidential transformation?

    No one knows the American presidency as well as Bob Woodward and no reporter or book author has uncovered more of the hidden stories from the secret world of presidents, the CIA, the Pentagon and the Supreme Court. After 52 years of reporting on every president since Nixon, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Woodward presents an in-depth, non-partisan, fact-driven analysis of the current state of the American democracy through the lens of history and how the 2024 outcome might shape the future of American politics for years to come.

     

    Having authored or co-authored 21 national bestsellers, 15 reaching # 1 on New York Times Bestselling Books List, more than any contemporary writer, Woodward will share stories from the thousands of hours of interviews he’s conducted over the decades, to include anecdotes from The Trump Tapes, the bestselling audio book of his 8 hours of interviews with Trump during the last year of his presidency.

  • From Presidents to CEOs, the Price of Politics and Larger Lessons of Leadership

    From Presidents to CEOs to the personal lessons learned along the way, Bob Woodward is candid and straightforward as he shares with audiences the leadership lessons he has learned and observed over the years. Using his vast background, Woodward is able to expertly explore with audiences the successes and failures of Presidents from Nixon to Trump. Presenting case studies in presidential leadership and decision-making, he helps audiences understand where administrations have gone right and wrong in dealing with domestic and international issues and describes what to look for in future leaders. He also explores the price of politics and its impact on leadership, and in particular cites specific examples of how the relationship between the President and Congress impacts the American people. His keen insight on leading while adapting to changing circumstances is thought provoking and relevant to audiences in any industry.

Yesterday was great! I think most people here appreciated the opportunity to spend a day with arguably the greatest investigative journalist of all time. Bob Woodward was very good with the kids, and his sense of humor kept the adults relaxed as well. We were all amazed at just how much Bob knows about the last few Presidents. My students had seen All the President’s Men the night before so they had fun comparing Bob with a young Robert Redford.
