Biography

Molly Fletcher is a trailblazer in every sense of the word– a rare talent of business wisdom, relationship brilliance and unwavering optimism. A popular keynote speaker, she shares the unconventional techniques that helped her thrive as one of the first female sports agents in the high stakes, big ego world of professional sports and now a successful entrepreneur.

Formerly, as president of client representation for sports and entertainment agency CSE, Molly spent two decades as one of the world’s only female sports agents. She was hailed as the “female Jerry Maguire” by CNN as she recruited and represented hundreds of sport’s biggest names, including Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz, PGA TOUR golfer Matt Kuchar, broadcaster Erin Andrews, and basketball championship coaches Tom Izzo and Doc Rivers.

As she successfully negotiated over $500 million in contracts and built lasting relationships, she also observed and adopted the traits of those at the top of their game. Molly shares her proven approach to negotiating in her company’s Game Changer Negotiation Training workshops, teaching people how to close more deals faster, while strengthening the relationship.

Molly has been featured in ESPN, Fast Company, Forbes and Sports Illustrated. A sought after motivational speaker, she delivers game changing messages to top companies, trade associations, and teams worldwide.

Molly is the author of four books: Fearless At Work, A Winner’s Guide to Negotiating, The Business of Being the Best, and The 5 Best Tools to Find Your Dream Career.

Molly currently serves as a National Trustee member for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and on the board of directors for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) and the national advisory board for the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA).

Molly earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Michigan State University while captaining the women’s tennis team. Molly’s energy and passion for life shines through everything she does. She finds her greatest joy at home in Atlanta with her husband Fred and their three daughters.

Unleash Your Potential

Potential is one of the most dangerous words in the dictionary. If you achieve it, you’re capable of greatness. But missing it means you stay stagnant and frustrated. Embracing your potential requires a mindset shift. You have to reimagine how you lead, how you show up for the people you serve, and how you lean into change. The good news is these are all things you can control. Using lessons from her career as a top sports agent, Molly Fletcher gives you a proven 5-step process for unleashing your potential and achieving peak performance.

Key pillars: Belief, Discovery, Clarity, Discipline, Execution

Secrets of a Champion Mindset

How often do we equate success with talent? All the time. But success isn’t created by talent alone. Just like we might see immense talent squandered, we also see underdogs unexpectedly overachieve. As a top sports agent, Molly saw firsthand that talent might get you there, but it’s drive that keeps you there. The best athletes in the world can’t be complacent or someone will take their spot. But the real magic happens when they stop focusing on the competition against others and start competing against themselves. In that simple mindset shift, the drive to achieve is replaced by something more sustainable—the drive to get better. This keynote inspired by Molly’s viral TED Talk will motivate you to love the process, embrace the journey, and find joy in the everyday discipline.

Leading the Way: Inspiring Go-Getters and Game Changers

In order to lead, you have to inspire people to want to follow. A true leader knows that leadership extends beyond self. From the arenas of professional sports to the boardrooms of major companies, Molly Fletcher shares what drives top leaders and how they inspire collective success. Learn how the best leaders:

Lead with curiosity and embrace change

Connect vs. communicate and create a culture of feedback

Inspire ownership and a culture of success

Molly is ‘the complete package.’ She is authentic, inspirational and entertaining. She knows how to connect to an audience and deliver unique tools that can captivate as well as motivate. It is an honor to introduce Molly as our keynote speaker during our Executive Women’s Day programming and her passion and devotion to each and every event is a testament to her wonderful character. Our follow up surveys rank her 9 or 10 out of a possible 10 on all occasions. Thank you Molly for an amazing year and we look forward to your presence at even more events next year!

– Donna Fiedorowicz, RETIRED Senior Vice President, PGA TOUR

Molly’s keynote message really hit the bullseye at our annual sales conference. Never in the 28 year history had a keynote speaker scored greater than an overall 90+ rating on our participant survey – until now. Molly inspired and engaged our sales teams to “Unleash Their Potential” in a way each participant could relate with. It is safe to say – Valpak will see her again in the very near future!!

– Rick McElwain, EVP Revenue Development, Valpak Direct Marketing Systems

We were thrilled to have you be a part of our ERG conference this year. You were great and the attendees loved you. If you haven’t already heard from some of them I’m sure you will… lots of them would love to have you come speak at their events in the future. You were a big hit, thank you!

– Debbie Storey, Retired, EVP Mobility Customer Service at AT&T

There’s only one word to describe the great Molly Fletcher – phenomenal. Her presentation to our employees was true-to-life, uplifting and powerful. When it was time to leave, most employees seemed not to want to leave the room, as if Molly’s energy and strength would somehow rub off on them. If your organization is ever in need of a speaker whose words motivate and inspire at every turn, give Molly a call.

– Angie Reevers, Corporate Communications, Porsche Cars North America, Inc

Thank you so much for participating in EMC World last week! I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback and was truly impressed by the tips and advice that you shared with our audience. Several people (both men and women) have even said it was their favorite session. Your positive, go-getter attitude is truly an inspiration to us all. You had everyone captivated and laughing as you described how you have learned to “reframe” the way you think about yourself in the male-dominated sports industry and how you’ve used your more feminine qualities to your advantage instead of letting them hinder you. Please know you have made a lasting impact.

– Stella Low, VP Global Communications, EMC Corporation

Like many, I have battled fear in life and work — and found that the only effective antidote is to make a daily shift in my thinking from anxiety to anticipation. I wish I had met Molly Fletcher sooner — to learn the small steps that overcome the demons and shift our focus to the anticipation of life’s great adventure.

– Cheryl A. Bachelder, CEO, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. Author, Dare to Serve

I’m in Texas at the Southwest women’s conference and in one word Molly Fletcher is AWESOME! Engaging, funny, great connectivity with the audience. She is speaking to advisors and connecting the dots about how she gets and retains client and how that translates to their business. She is the last speaker of the day and folks are just as engaged, or more so, than they were with the first presentation yesterday. I HIGHLY recommend her!

– Debra Curtis-Petties, Morgan Stanley

I’ve booked Molly for a number of clients and no matter who is in the audience, I can always count on her to deliver. Molly consistently scores top ratings and makes a lasting impact on attendees. I highly recommend her to any leader looking to motivate and invest in their people!
