Carey Lohrenz Biography

Carey Lohrenz is a dynamic communicator with an incredible story. As the first female F-14 Tomcat pilot in the U.S. Navy, she was a pioneer in military aviation. Having flown missions worldwide as a combat-mission-ready United States Navy pilot, Lohrenz is used to working in fast-moving, dynamic environments where inconsistent execution can generate catastrophic results.

Lohrenz is uniquely qualified in the fundamentals of winning under pressure, reducing errors, and overcoming obstacles. Her mastery of these fundamentals can help teams triumph in high-risk, time-crunched environments. Her experience in the predominantly male environment of fighter aviation and her ability to relay the lessons learned in her career allow her to deliver insight and guidance from a credible platform.

Recognized as one of the world’s impactful keynote speakers, Lohrenz excels in both onstage and virtual formats. As a high-content keynote speaker who inspires Fearless Leadership and increased team performance, she delivers her messages to a wide array of audiences. This expertise has earned her a place among the elite in the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame.

Lohrenz's ability to connect with an audience, coupled with her knowledge and experience in leading high-performing, diverse teams, has made her highly sought after as a business consultant and leadership speaker. She is also an advocate for improving performance, communication, and teamwork in healthcare environments.

Carey Lohrenz is the author of two Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestsellers: "Fearless Leadership: High-Performance Lessons from the Flight Deck" and "Span of Control: What to Do When You Are Under Pressure, Overwhelmed, and Ready to Get What You Really Want." Beyond her speaking and writing, Lohrenz is a CEO, board member, dedicated researcher, and the mother of four. Currently, she is pursuing a Master’s in Business Administration in Strategic Leadership.

With her dynamic approach, Lohrenz inspires individuals and organizations to refine their skills, lead amidst uncertainty, conquer adversity, thrive under pressure, and maintain a competitive edge in today’s volatile marketplace. Her insights on operational excellence and patient safety are particularly valued in the healthcare sector, where she focuses on creating a positive safety culture and reducing human error.

LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP

An industry pioneer and team performance accelerant, Carey is uniquely qualified in the fundamentals of Leadership, Teamwork, Winning Under Pressure, Reducing Errors, and Overcoming Obstacles.

This highly popular leadership keynote will challenge, inform, and inspire your team to move to higher levels of performance in these difficult economic times. Lohrenz offers bottom-line expertise with clear, realistic takeaway items for audiences that can produce both short-term and life changing results.

LESSONS IN PARTNERSHIP

Just like in aviation in a rapidly changing global environment, speed is life. Collaboration is critical to business success and managing successful strategic partnerships is crucial. Competitive advantage is gained when your organization can optimize partnerships and strategic alliances. Deeper relationships with partners can be the key to long term success and growth.

In this inspiring and engaging keynote, Carey shares what it takes to be on the ‘Leading Edge.’ Those things that helped her succeed in one of the most extreme environments on earth can help elevate your team to gain advantage and uncover opportunities.

STRIKING A BALANCE

A successful career, a happy family, and a balanced personal life leave little time for many people to nurture their dreams.

As a former Naval Aviator, a corporate executive, and as a busy mother of four, Carey “Vixen” Lohrenz knows first-hand the challenges of navigating the many demands of daily work-life balance. In this riveting and inspirational keynote speech, Carey will inspire you to ‘Be the Catalyst’ and look beyond your circumstances.

Just as pilots do a “systems check” before takeoff, Carey’s motivational speech will walk you through a Pre-Flight Check on your journey towards success.

REMAINING RELEVANT

In a challenging economic environment, remaining relevant to your customers and within your organization is critical to your survival. Those who fail to deliver value to their consumers, shareholders, clients, and teammates become extinct. Could that happen to you? In aviation, complacency kills. The same is true in business. If you become complacent and ignore the warning signs (shifts in culture, trends, global demands, budget restrictions), you could be facing extinction.

In this energizing and empowering keynote, Carey shares the fundamentals that can help your team win in business by learning the importance of remaining relevant, how to accelerate performance, how to stay agile and adaptable, and how high performing teams become excellent.

HIGH-RISK, HIGH REWARD

Carey’s “Patient Safety” keynotes and workshops challenge, inform & inspire your employees to move to higher levels of performance and operational excellence in high-risk and sometimes dangerous environments.

Carey Lohrenz Reviews

  • I really enjoyed Carey's talk- she was well spoken and engaging. The content was interesting, and I was able to take home some lessons such as focusing on the main goal, and not needing ALL of the information to get there but to keep progressing forward. I also learned to “find a third way” when presented with 2 options that are not so ideal. And something I will start doing daily is writing my top 3 tasks for the day on a post it to keep myself on track for each day to accomplish my goal.
