Short bio
Meet Beth
Beth McDonough is an Emmy, duPont-Columbia, and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning investigative journalist, author, and keynote speaker. After three decades reporting from the center of crisis, two public DUI arrests brought her own life into the spotlight. Beth spent 18 years in deliberate reconstruction, developing the STILL STANDING™ five-beam framework to help people and organizations move beyond surviving and begin rebuilding from the inside out.
Her immersive keynotes combine investigative storytelling, visual demonstrations, audience participation, and real-time reflection to help people recognize patterns and take practical next steps.
