Around the world pilot Amelia Rose Earhart emphasizes to her international keynote audiences that the only aircraft that never experiences turbulence, is one that stays locked up in a hangar. This sentiment is at the core of her inspiring and informational message, which teaches us all to act as pilot in command when life gets bumpy. 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 miles around the globe to honor her namesake and encourage the future of women in aviation. 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 international corporations, and more- all while reporting live on the morning news from a helicopter.
Amelia strives to provide unique, practical guidance to create your own flight plan for success.
