As a boundary-pushing around-the-world pilot, Amelia Rose Earhart knows exactly what it takes to venture into uncharted territory– with confidence.
After completing her private, instrument and commercial flight training, Amelia created a complex, one-of-a-kind flight plan. Inspired by the incredible American hero she was named after, Amelia Mary Earhart, she completed, in 2014, her goal of circumnavigating the globe along a 28,000 mile route, all in a single-engine aircraft.
To accomplish this, Amelia developed a flight plan all on her own, while reporting full-time as an on air, TV helicopter reporter. She crafted an entrepreneurial and strategic business plan to design, fund and market her around-the-world attempt, raising close to $2 million in partnerships with 28 corporations. She also founded and ran the Fly With Amelia Foundation, which sent numerous teenage girls to flight school, and more.
From the Air Force Thunderbirds, to the Reagan Library, to corporations like Capital One, Lockheed Martin and United Healthcare, Amelia’s list of clients who trust her message of agility continues to grow.
Programs
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
Create a Flight Plan to Clear any Goal for Take-Off
It would be great if all our goals could be reached without any disruption, but the reality is, reaching new heights requires us to get comfortable with the possibility of turbulence.
Preparedness and understanding are the strongest antidotes to turbulence.
This talk will prepare your team with the skills to form a solid flight plan to reach any goal, identify and assess risk, and formulate backup plans to prepare for possible challenges.
Learn:
- How forecasting and proper planning can prepare us to make even the most difficult journeys.
- Explore the concept of 360 degree thinking to gain confidence in course correcting through and around major challenges.
- The importance of “Aviate, Navigate, Communicate,” which allows us to distribute responsibility and prioritize appropriate action in times of stress and confusion.
How to Be Bold, Resourceful, and Agile in Uncharted Territory
In aviation, airspace is the environment where aircraft fly. In the professional world, the “airspace” in which we operate can be thought of similarly. When we own our airspace, we know where we’re going, who we’re sharing airspace with, and we fully understand the rules of the airspace in which we choose to fly. Only then can we begin to fly with confidence and direction.
In this talk, your team will learn how to see the big picture, strategically avoid potential storms and identify their own unique headings to fly, to truly “own their airspace”.
Learn:
- The three levels of true situational awareness: the passenger, pilot and air traffic control perspective.
- To identify headwinds, tailwinds and crosswinds in terms of professional challenges and opportunities.
- To become comfortable flying “unusual headings” through a divergent creative thinking exercise.

About Amelia's Flight Around The World
Since the first aircraft took flight in 1903, less than 30 women have ever been pilot in command of a flight around the world.
Over two years of route and logistical planning, extensive flight training, open water survival courses, fundraising for the Fly With Amelia Foundation, along with her team of nearly 100 people, all led to a successful and safe flight around the world that was tracked by millions.
Amelia and her co-pilot, Shane Jordan, both agree that the most incredible moment of the flight was over Howland Island, the tiny atoll where the original Amelia intended to land after her departure from Papua New Guinea. At that moment in the flight, they were able to award ten young women, from all across the US, flight training scholarships from the Fly With Amelia Foundation, in the amount of $7,500 each.
At that moment, Amelia Rose Earhart and Amelia Mary Earhart’s vision for the empowerment of women in aviation came true, as one aviatrix picked up where the other left off.
Upon return to Oakland, CA, on the same runway where Amelia Mary departed in 1937, Amelia Rose Earhart touched down and learned who she was by honoring her namesake in the best way she knew how: by using a modern day aircraft to show young women of today that there are still adventures to be had and that they are allowed to live out their wildest dreams in any and every way they choose.
