“I’m going to live my life differently after hearing you today.” That’s how one healthcare CEO summed up his reaction after hearing LeAnn’s powerful keynote sharing life-changing lessons from her Operation Babylift adventure. Imagine bombs falling and 100 little babies laying three and four to a cardboard box, strapped in the belly of a gutted cargo jet! Believing we all have individual “war zones,” LeAnn shares tools for life balance, living priorities, and making a difference in the world.

A nurse for thirty years and coauthor of bestseller Chicken Soup for the Nurse’s Soul, LeAnn knows first hand the “war zones” of healthcare today. By inspiring people to care for themselves as they care for others, she boosts morale, creating positive people who then produce positive outcomes. Her presentations recharge and recommit employees resulting in increased retention, saving millions in recruitment and retraining costs.


	“After LeAnn’s last recruitment event with us, we hired over half of the 58 new RN graduates who attended! We’ve had her back a second time as I don’t know of any other speaker who takes the personal touch to the level LeAnn does.”

		Dana Hall, Nurse Recruiter, Franciscan Health System - Tacoma, WA


	While health organizations and women groups are an obvious “niche” for her keynote addresses and seminars, her audiences have grown to include cattlemen, contractors, and corporate America.
