The Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce welcomes Amy Herman as she returns as the
keynote speaker for the 2022 Women’s Leadership Conference on Aug. 1, at the Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center.
Herman is a New York Times Bestseller and a nationally recognized speaker, art historian, and lawyer who uses art to demonstrate how to hone perceptions and visual intelligence. She has worked with an impressive list of clients including the New York Police Department, US Special
Operations Forces, the US Department of Defense, the FBI, and Google.
“When we held our program virtually in 2020, Amy provided a captivating presentation,” said Robyn Jones, Montgomery Chamber’s vice chair. “We are thrilled to bring her back in person to connect and engage with attendees this year.”
Herman will be presenting a paradigm-shattering twist on problem-solving that will help attendees find solutions to the problems faced every day. She has a new book, Fixed: How to Perfect the Fine Art of Problem-Solving, that was published in December 2021. Things go wrong all the time. Herman offers an innovative and proven way to see problems differently and to craft better solutions for productivity, profit, and peace.
