CURT STEINHORST — OFFICIAL BIO

Curt Steinhorst wrote Can I Have Your Attention? (Wiley bestseller), then left the speaking circuit to spend three years running the people side of a rocket company.

At Venus Aerospace, he helped build the teams behind the world’s first flight of a high-thrust rotating detonation rocket engine, through years when the money was never certain. Even when it is rocket science, it’s how you get people to work together that dictates the outcome.

His keynotes cover attention, curiosity, and the teams that build hard things. He contributes to Forbes, has delivered 500+ keynotes across four continents, and has spent fifteen years preparing influential people for their biggest moments, from Heisman acceptance speeches to pitches where millions are won or lost.
