Motivational speaker Amelia Rose Earhart knows exactly what it takes to bring a bold dream to life when every odd is stacked against you. In 2014, she became one of the youngest women ever to fly a single-engine plane around the world, a 28,000-nautical-mile journey that retraced and symbolically completed the 1937 flight of her famous namesake, aviation pioneer Amelia Mary Earhart. Tracked by millions, it was the culmination of years of planning, self-funded training, and relentless determination, and the source of the powerful lessons she now shares on stages worldwide.
Before she took to the skies, Earhart spent nearly a decade as a television news anchor and reporter for NBC in Denver and Los Angeles, an experience that made her the polished, engaging presenter, host, and moderator she is today. Her around-the-world flight nearly never happened: just months before launch, a genealogist revealed she had no biological connection to the aviator she was named after, and most of her corporate sponsors threatened to walk away. Rather than quit, she pressed on, and turned the near-collapse of her dream into the heart of her message.
That message became her book, Learn to Love the Turbulence: Flight Lessons on Becoming the Pilot in Command of Your Own Journey, in which she teaches readers to think like a pilot: to build a flight plan for any goal, assess risk, prepare backup plans, and course-correct through disruption with confidence. A passionate advocate for women in aviation, Earhart founded the Fly With Amelia Foundation to award flight scholarships to teenage girls, and serves on the board of Colorado’s Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, where memorabilia from her flight is on permanent display.
As a speaker, Amelia Rose Earhart is warm, articulate, and genuinely uplifting, blending the storytelling polish of a broadcast journalist with the real, high-stakes drama of her flight around the world. She speaks on resilience and embracing turbulence, setting and reaching audacious goals, leading and course-correcting through uncertainty, and the confidence to venture into uncharted territory. Trusted by audiences from the Fortune 500 to the United States Air Force Academy, and equally at home as a keynote speaker, emcee, or moderator, she leaves every room inspired to become the pilot in command of their own journey.
In her signature keynote, Amelia Rose Earhart takes audiences into the cockpit of her flight around the world, and into the moments when everything nearly fell apart. Turbulence, she argues, is not something to survive but something to expect, prepare for, and even embrace. She shares the pilot's mindset that carried her through literal and figurative storms, and shows individuals and teams how to stay clear, calm, and in command when conditions get rough. A gripping, uplifting talk on resilience and change.
How do you turn an audacious, seemingly impossible goal into reality? Drawing on the two years of planning, training, and fundraising behind her flight, Earhart gives audiences a practical, pilot's-eye framework for pursuing big ambitions: creating a flight plan, assembling and trusting your crew, identifying headwinds and tailwinds, and executing on the fly. An energizing, actionable keynote for teams venturing into uncharted territory.
Every pilot knows a flight plan is essential, and that no flight ever goes exactly to plan. Earhart teaches audiences how to set a clear destination, anticipate risk, build in contingencies, and course-correct with confidence when circumstances change. Blending her real-world flight lessons with practical takeaways for business and life, she helps leaders and teams navigate disruption without losing sight of where they are headed.
As a female pilot who achieved a world-recognized feat and founded a foundation to send young women to flight school, Earhart is a powerful voice for confidence, courage, and closing the gender gap in aviation and beyond. In this inspiring keynote, she shares how she overcame self-doubt and long odds to claim her place in the cockpit, and encourages audiences, especially women and girls, to take command of their own journeys. Ideal for women's events and empowerment programs.
