Biography
Liz Forkin Bohannon has spent more than 15 years building teams under real pressure, starting with the company she founded in Uganda and scaled into a venture-backed national brand. That work taught her the lesson at the center of her keynotes: resilience isn't just an individual trait people grit their way into. It's also a property of the relationships around them, and leaders can build it on purpose.
That insight drives Collective Resilience™, her framework for helping organizations hold steady through change by strengthening the connections between people instead of asking individuals to toughen up alone. Forbes named Liz one of the top 20 keynote speakers in the U.S., and her message has reached more than one million leaders in over 100 countries.
She is the best-selling author of Beginner's Pluck and the forthcoming Relationally Rich (Penguin, 2028). Liz and her company have appeared on ABC's Shark Tank and Good Morning America and in Vogue, Fortune, and The Oprah Magazine. Bloomberg Businessweek named her company a social enterprise to watch, and John Maxwell named her a Top Three Transformational Leader.
Liz lives in an intentional community in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, Ben, and their three sons.
