First Female F-14 Tomcat Combat Pilot Authors "Fearless Leadership: High Performance Lessons from the Flight Deck, For Business and Corporate Leaders"
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- Carey Lohrenz, a pioneer in military aviation and the first woman assigned to fly an F-14 Tomcat Fighter as a combat, mission-ready United States Navy pilot, has authored "Fearless Leadership: High-Performance Lessons from the Flight Deck," now available online and in bookstores.
Combining her extraordinary experience in military and corporate environments, Carey is uniquely qualified in the fundamentals of succeeding under pressure, building teams, managing crises, reducing errors and overcoming obstacles. Her mastery of the fundamentals needed to accomplish this and more is outlined in the book, designed to help assist managers and business professionals of all types to succeed in a high-risk, time crunched and competitive world. Her experience in the all-male environment of fighter aviation and her ability to pass on the lessons learned in her career allow her to deliver insight and guidance from a credible platform.
“This is a leadership book based on the insights and lessons learned on my journey to the cockpit of an F-14, as well as indispensable lessons learned and advice gained from my work with business leaders—from Fortune 500 executives to middle managers, and individual contributors.” said Lohrenz, “A combination of personal stories and very practical tools and clear advice, I hope the book can be both inspirational and motivational to anyone who reads it,” continued Lohrenz.
“My motto is ‘be fearless’ whether I am in the cockpit of an F-14 Tomcat, at the head of a boardroom table, or speaking to an audience of thousands. My hope is this book will help others learn to live that motto as well. Just like flying an F-14, leading fearlessly never gets easy, and it requires nerves of steel. But anyone can build his or her leadership skills and reap the rewards of doing so. You do not need permission to be fearless, to go after what you want—provided you have the courage to step up and take it. This book is a call for each of us to lead more fearlessly—and a guide to show you how to get started” Lohrenz concluded.
Carey Lohrenz has brought the messages in her book “Fearless Leadership” to some of the top Fortune 100 businesses. Her ability to connect with both an audience and on a one-on-one level, coupled with her knowledge and experience in leading high-performing, diverse teams, has made her highly sought after as a leadership expert and keynote speaker.
She resides in Germantown, TN and is currently working on her Masters in Business Administration in Strategic Leadership.
A portion of the proceeds of the book will be donated to veteran non-profit organizations. For more information about the book and Carey, go to http://www.careylohrenz.com
