Leadership Howard County will hold its annual Big Event featuring guest speaker Amelia Rose Earhart, who will present her keynote speech “Navigating Thru Turbulent Times.” Earhart will share how to create a flight plan to navigate uncharted territory with courage, face fear with confidence and make adjustments to stay productive and successful. In 2014, Earhart flew a single-engine aircraft 28,000 miles around the globe. She overcame technical, physical and emotional obstacles to complete the flight. Earhart’s aviation analogies speak to the power of self-identity, perseverance and triumphing over challenges.
