Curt Steinhorst Biography

Curt Steinhorst helps leaders move beyond outdated models and lead with curiosity and confidence in an ever-changing world. Known for his sharp insights and quick wit, Curt has delivered over 500 keynotes to leaders and executives across nearly every industry, from Fortune 100 companies to fast-growth startups.

A Forbes contributor and author of the bestselling book Can I Have Your Attention?, Curt’s perspective is shaped by years of coaching high-impact leaders and studying the trends that impact high-performance teams. His unique ability to connect diverse ideas and offer a fresh, sometimes disruptive perspective on leadership, teamwork, and performance makes him a highly sought-after advisor. With clients spanning tech, finance, sports, and beyond, Curt helps individuals and organizations solve their toughest challenges while maintaining a sense of humor and humanity.

Most recently, Curt served as a senior executive at Venus Aerospace, driving strategy, brand, and culture for the hypersonic tech startup that aims to make one-hour global transit a reality by 2030. Curt’s experience in the trenches of a fast-growing tech company, paired with his work across industries, equips him to apply fresh ideas to leadership challenges, always grounded in real-world experience.

Outside of work, Curt is a devoted husband and father to three lively kids, and, despite his best efforts, cohabits with a mischievous cat and a cantankerous dog. His personal life is as fast-paced and unpredictable as his professional one, but he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Curt Steinhorst Speaking Topics

High-Velocity Leadership: Mastering Human Factors in High-Speed Environments

Leading through rapid change requires more than simply pushing harder; it demands a deep awareness of how people respond to speed, pressure, and change. Learn how to foster curiosity, leverage feedback for growth, and keep teams aligned during rapid change. Whether mitigating burnout or sustaining high performance, you'll gain practical insights to turn speed into a competitive advantage by focusing on the human elements that fuel success.

Accelerating Operational leadership: Leading up when you don't set the pace

This session is designed for anyone with a boss and people who report to them—those who simultaneously navigate the pressures of leading up and managing down. Translating strategic directives into actionable plans and driving execution with precision, middle managers drive the pace and performance of the entire operation. You’ll explore how to empower your teams to move at speed, create environments of psychological safety (or inadvertently generate anxiety), and protect your team’s capacity (or risk overwhelming them).

High-Velocity Teams: Turning Speed Into Your Greatest Asset

Operating at speed is not just a reaction to external pressures but a deliberate, strategic choice. This session reveals how the most successful teams don’t just move faster—they move smarter. We’ll explore the unseen forces that create drag within even the most talented teams, from decision paralysis to misaligned priorities, and how to eliminate them.

The Future of Work at Hyperspeed

The future is unpredictable and transformation happens at lightning speed. The key to thriving in this environment isn’t about trying to predict the future, but understanding the trends driving change and making informed decisions that position you for long-term success.

Burning Hot Without Burning Out

Where business moves at hyperspeed, the demand to perform at the highest level is relentless. The challenge isn’t speed itself—it's learning how to manage the drag that slows us down, shedding unnecessary burdens, and harnessing the power of focus to navigate the turbulence without burning out.
