Amelia Rose Earhart

Pilots are known for their clear communication skills, decisiveness, situational awareness, information processing, workload management, and overall sense of personal responsibility. These same skills are invaluable in today’s workplace, given the varied tasks and responsibilities each team member is required to perform. This talk will teach you how to take flight toward new, elevated goals, with confidence and a sense of agility.

Amelia Rose Earhart's keynote message will ask you to ponder the question, “what’s your relationship with turbulence?”, meaning, how do you react when things don’t go exactly as planned? By sharing her story of how she endured and recovered from major professional turbulence, while planning and completing a flight all the way around the world, Amelia shares practices to illuminate new paths using all 360 degrees of our personal compass, embrace challenges by diffusing their power with preparation, and empower us to elevate to new heights by acting with multiple levels of situational awareness.

Take on a Pilot’s Perspective to Navigate Change and Success with Agility

Pilots are known for their clear communication skills, decisiveness, situational awareness, information processing, workload management, and overall sense of personal responsibility.

These same skills are invaluable in today’s workplace, given the varied tasks and responsibilities each team member is required to perform, often in the work from home environment.

In this talk, each member of your team will learn immediate ways to think and act with a pilot in command mentality.

Learn:

• How conducting “pre-flight” style team briefings can ensure understanding, preparedness and confidence among team members
• How to identify and avoid the five most hazardous attitudes to stress responses, and how to counter them with positive action
• How the use of checklists can free up working memory while building team trust and synchronicity

Description: There will be successful companies in 2021 and beyond. What’s one thing these teams will need to have in common? A willingness to venture into uncharted territory. In the midst of professional and personal change, teams who take action on bold, resourceful, and never-before imagined solutions are the ones that will find growth.

As a boundary-pushing around the world pilot, Amelia Rose Earhart knows exactly what it takes to venture into uncharted territory; now she’s sharing her one of a kind perspective and strategy with the world.

With the odds stacked against her, Amelia brought her own bold idea to life in 2014, piloting a small plane (Pilatus PC-12NG) 28,000 Nautical Miles around the globe. To accomplish this, Amelia self-funded her private, instrument and commercial flight training, went through open-water survival training, crafted a strategic business plan to design, fund and market her around the world attempt, help to design and build a custom auxiliary fuel tank for the trip, grew a large and passionate social following to spread the word, raised close to $2 million in partnerships with 28 corporations, founded and ran a charity organization to send numerous teenage girls to flight school, and more.

In Amelia’s keynote, she shares 3 non-negotiables that she used in her successful, uncharted trip around the globe, which is directly transferrable to the business world. Whether the attendees are CEOs/leaders, a sales team, or an entire team of an organization, Amelia’s talk contains actionable takeaways that people can start implementing immediately.

Consider All Directions: Course correction in action When unexpected challenges force us to choose a different path toward reaching our goal, it can be tempting to lose momentum, or even give up completely. In this breakout session, flexibility and options for success are unlocked and explored, as Amelia shares stories and strategies centered around seeking new paths with confidence and creativity. Gone are the days when responding to challenges with a simple and rigid North, East, South West approach is acceptable, and here, Amelia empowers teams to unlock all directions of their compass through course-correction techniques to help navigate the roughest storms.

Weight & Balance: How to turn small shifts into massive results In this insightful and actionable flight lesson, Amelia leads teams through an honest assessment of determining which practices, habits and limiting ideas can be shifted, consolidated or eliminated all together in order to fly further than ever imagined. This lesson packs an extra punch, as Amelia uses actual equipment from her custom designed 200 gallon auxiliary fuel tank from her global flight to emphasize the importance of prioritizing fuel over unnecessary baggage.

Plan for obstacles: The power of understanding worst case scenarios Creating a well-researched plan for tackling potential pitfalls and challenges is an absolute must when exploring uncharted territory. Developing a deep understanding of what could go wrong when innovating and growing, boosts self-confidence, presence, and instills calmness in the face of adversity if and when they arrive. In stressful situations, our body’s hormone levels rise, affecting our thinking, perception, and memory retrieval. Through an in-depth breakdown of how and why pilots undergo open water survival training, Amelia explains how rehearsing for emergency situations in the professional environment can boost confidence, illuminate options and boost performance.

In her second CREW keynote appearance, around the world pilot Amelia Rose Earhart invites you into the cockpit for a raw and invigorating discussion about the importance of learning to love the turbulence.

Inspired by the tenacious around the world flight attempt of her namesake, Amelia Rose took to the skies with the goal of flying a single engine aircraft 28,000 miles around the globe. Just months before her launch, Amelia’s flight nearly came to a very public crash landing.

Take flight with Amelia as she shares her realtime response to a navigating and course correcting a flight plan, but more importantly, navigating a life.

Amelia’s keynote message lingers with her audiences, combining skills from a decade long career as a NBC TV Anchor & Host in Denver, CO with an invigorating real life account of a successful (& turbulent) attempt to fly around the world.

“The only aircraft that never experiences turbulence is the one that stays locked up in a hangar. That’s not what planes were built for and that’s not what you and I were built for either. We were built to take flight.” -Amelia Rose Earhart
