Amelia Rose Earhart takes audiences on a journey few will ever experience, 28,000 nautical miles around the globe in a single-engine aircraft. As the first person to pilot a Pilatus PC-12-NG around the world, she turned a bold dream into a meticulously planned mission involving years of preparation, advanced training, and a team of 100 people. Today, she translates those lessons from the cockpit into powerful insights on leadership, resilience, teamwork, and navigating change with confidence. Her keynotes are inspiring, practical, and unforgettable.
When Amelia Rose Earhart chose to honor her namesake, aviation pioneer Amelia Mary Earhart, she committed to doing so in a way that matched the legacy. She became the first person to fly a single-engine Pilatus PC-12-NG around the world, a 28,000 nautical mile journey that required more than courage. It demanded precision, preparation, and the ability to move forward despite uncertainty.
Her achievement was the result of more than two years of detailed route and logistical planning. She completed extensive flight training and open water survival training, while recruiting, training, and leading a team of 100 people. Every mile of the journey was built on a clear and disciplined flight plan, a concept she now uses as a powerful framework in her talks.
For organizations navigating rapid change, high stakes, or ambitious growth, her story resonates deeply. Amelia shows how to define your own airspace, adjust to turbulence, and stay focused on the destination even when conditions shift mid-flight.
Amelia’s flight was not just an aviation milestone. It was a masterclass in strategy, resilience, and execution.
To fund and execute her mission, she designed a strategic business plan to finance and market the journey. She built a large and engaged social following and secured nearly $2 million in partnerships with 28 corporations. Her success demonstrates what happens when vision is paired with structure and consistent action.
In her keynotes, she brings audiences into the cockpit. Through vivid storytelling, she shares what it means to handle headwinds, celebrate tailwinds, and make critical decisions when there is no room for hesitation. She draws direct parallels between aviation and business:
How to build and rely on a high-performance team
How to prepare for inevitable turbulence
How to lead with clarity when the pressure is on
How to stay mission-focused while adapting in real time
Audiences leave with practical tools and renewed confidence in their ability to navigate uncertainty.
As she circled the skies over Howland Island, the area of the South Pacific Ocean where Amelia Earhart disappeared, Amelia Rose Earhart honored the past while investing in the future. Through the Fly with Amelia Foundation, the nonprofit she founded, she granted 10 flight training scholarships to young women ages 16–18.
Her commitment to fostering the next generation of women in aviation is woven into her message. She speaks about creating opportunities, lifting others as you climb, and building legacies that extend beyond personal success.
Before her historic flight, Amelia Rose Earhart built a successful career as a television news anchor and reporter in Denver and Los Angeles. She covered breaking news, traffic, and weather, developing sharp communication skills and a calm presence under pressure.
Today, she continues to work as an emcee and moderator, using her professional interviewing experience and polished presentation style to elevate events. Her story has been featured by CNN, The New York Times, The Today Show, and other major media outlets.
She has received the Amelia Earhart Pioneering Achievement Award and was named one of the “Top Ten Young Americans” by the Jaycees, recognition that reflects both her accomplishment and her influence.
Amelia Rose Earhart’s upcoming book, Learn to Love the Turbulence: Flight Lessons on Becoming the Pilot in Command of Your Own Journey, captures the essence of her message. She teaches readers and audiences, how to navigate the inevitable storms that come with pursuing meaningful goals.
Her presentations have earned rave reviews from Fortune 500 companies to the United States Air Force Academy. Whether speaking to corporate leaders, emerging talent, or mission-driven teams, she delivers a keynote that is both energizing and actionable.
Book Amelia Rose Earhart for your event if you want more than a story about flying. Bring her in to help your audience rethink risk, embrace change, and step confidently into uncharted territory, ready to become the pilot in command of their own journey.

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.
Drawing upon her upcoming book, Learn to Love the Turbulence: Flight Lessons on Becoming the Pilot in Command of Your Own Journey”, Amelia shares what it takes to create a solid flight plan to reach any goal, identify and assess risk, and formulate backup plans to prepare for disruption, adversity, and challenges.

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, direction, and a sense of mission.
In this talk, your team will learn how to see the big picture, strategically avoid potential storms, and identify their own unique headings to not only soar, but truly “own their airspace.”

Your Flight Plan for Success
Amelia Rose Earhart knows how to bring a bold dream to life – even when all the odds were stacked against her. In 2014, she followed in the footsteps of the American hero she was named after, Amelia Earhart, and flew a small plane (Pilatus PC-12NG) 28,000 nautical miles around the globe. To accomplish this, Amelia self-funded her instrument and commercial flight training, crafted a strategic business plan to design, fund, and market her around-the-world attempt, grew a large and passionate social following to spread the word, raised close to $2 million in partnerships with 28 corporations, and more.
In this motivational speech, Amelia not only inspires, but provides the practical guidance to create your own plan for success.
