Curt Steinhorst Biography
Curt Steinhorst is a top productivity virtual keynote speaker and the founder of Focuswise. Known for his sharp insights and quick wit, Steinhorst has delivered over 500 keynotes to leaders and executives across nearly every industry, from Fortune 100 companies to fast-growth startups. Noteworthy clients include AT&T, Southwest Airlines, Deloitte, JPMorgan Chase, Nike, BMI, the U.S. Naval Academy, and SAP.
A Forbes contributor and author of the bestselling book "Can I Have Your Attention?", Steinhorst's perspective is shaped by years of coaching high-impact leaders and studying the trends that impact high-performance teams. His unique ability to connect diverse ideas and offer a fresh, sometimes disruptive perspective on leadership, teamwork, and performance makes him a highly sought-after advisor. With clients spanning tech, finance, sports, and beyond, Steinhorst helps individuals and organizations solve their toughest challenges while maintaining a sense of humor and humanity.
Most recently, Steinhorst served as a senior executive at Venus Aerospace, driving strategy, brand, and culture for the hypersonic tech startup that aims to make one-hour global transit a reality by 2030. His experience in the trenches of a fast-growing tech company, paired with his extensive work across industries, equips him to apply fresh ideas to leadership challenges, always grounded in real-world experience. Outside of work, Steinhorst is a devoted husband and father to three lively kids, and despite his best efforts, cohabits with a mischievous cat and a cantankerous dog. His personal life is as fast-paced and unpredictable as his professional one, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Curt Steinhorst Speaking Topics
Leading through rapid change requires more than simply pushing harder; it demands a deep awareness of how people respond to speed, pressure, and change. Learn how to foster curiosity, leverage feedback for growth, and keep teams aligned during rapid change. Whether mitigating burnout or sustaining high performance, you'll gain practical insights to turn speed into a competitive advantage by focusing on the human elements that fuel success.
This session is designed for anyone with a boss and people who report to them—those who simultaneously navigate the pressures of leading up and managing down. Translating strategic directives into actionable plans and driving execution with precision, middle managers drive the pace and performance of the entire operation. You’ll explore how to empower your teams to move at speed, create environments of psychological safety (or inadvertently generate anxiety), and protect your team’s capacity (or risk overwhelming them).
Operating at speed is not just a reaction to external pressures but a deliberate, strategic choice. This session reveals how the most successful teams don’t just move faster—they move smarter. We’ll explore the unseen forces that create drag within even the most talented teams, from decision paralysis to misaligned priorities, and how to eliminate them.
The future is unpredictable and transformation happens at lightning speed. The key to thriving in this environment isn’t about trying to predict the future, but understanding the trends driving change and making informed decisions that position you for long-term success.
Where business moves at hyperspeed, the demand to perform at the highest level is relentless. The challenge isn’t speed itself—it's learning how to manage the drag that slows us down, shedding unnecessary burdens, and harnessing the power of focus to navigate the turbulence without burning out.
