LeAnn Thieman

Keynote Speaker: Vietnam Orphan Airlift Hero, Nurse, Chicken Soup for the Soul Co-Author

LeAnn Thieman Biography

LeAnn Thieman, an acclaimed motivational speaker and nurse, shares transformative lessons from her involvement in the Vietnam Orphan Airlift in 1975, where she contributed to rescuing 300 babies as Vietnam was falling. Thieman believes everyone faces their own personal "war zones," encouraging audiences to balance their lives, live out their priorities, and make impactful differences in the world.

Thieman's presentations are tailored not only to recharge and recommit healthcare professionals but also to a diverse audience that now includes cattlemen, contractors, and corporate America. Highlighting the importance of self-care, her talks boost morale and foster environments where positive people produce positive outcomes. This approach has helped organizations save substantially on hiring and retraining costs. A CEO reflected on her impact by stating, "I'm going to live my life differently after hearing you today.”

Thieman is a prolific author, having co-authored numerous volumes of "Chicken Soup for the Soul," including "Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul," "Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul," and "Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul," among others. Her work has been recognized in media outlets like CNN, Fox-TV, BBC, and PBS, and she was featured in Newsweek Magazine's Voices of the Century issue. Additionally, Thieman writes a monthly column for Nursing magazine and was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame by the National Speakers Association in August 2008, earning her the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation. Currently, there are negotiations to adapt her inspiring story into a Hollywood feature film.
