LeAnn Thieman, CSP Speaker's Home Base: CO What can we learn from war? LeAnn Thieman (Tee-man), a nurse who was "accidentally" caught up in the Vietnam Orphan Airlift in 1975, brings multiple lessons to her keynote presentations. In her book, "This Must Be My Brother," she details her daring adventures as she helped rescue 300 babies when Saigon was falling to the Communists. An ordinary person, she struggled through extraordinary circumstances to inspire her audiences into their own ordinary greatness. LeAnn’s story has been featured on FOX-TV News, in Newsweek Magazine’s Voices of the Century issue, and on the PAX TV show, It’s A Miracle. LeAnn brings all of the life-changing lessons learned from the airlift experience and her 34 years of nursing to her extraordinary keynote presentations. Believing we all have individual "war zones," LeAnn inspires audiences to balance their lives, truly live their priorities and make a difference in the world. After her story was featured in "Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul," LeAnn became one of Chicken Soup's most prolific writers, with stories in eleven more Chicken Soup books. That, and her devotion to nursing, made her the ideal co-author of the New York Times best seller "Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul," "Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul" and "Chicken Soup for the Caregiver's Soul" Most Popular Topics: Balancing Life in Your “War Zones” or Lessons from 100 Babbling Bawling Babies! 100 babies in open cardboard boxes, strapped in the belly of a gutted cargo jet! -- It was 1975, Saigon was falling to the communists, and LeAnn was "accidentally" caught up in the Vietnam Orphan Airlift. Today, she applies life-changing lessons from her Airlift experience to the "war zones" of our every day lives -- too much to do, too few resources, too much stress! How do we cope? In this poignant, yet humorous presentation, LeAnn motivates audiences and shares tools for life balance, living priorities, and making a difference in the world - and finding peace in their war zones. Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul, Second Dose or “I Didn’t Even Stop to Go to the Bathroom!” Most nurses didn't choose their careers because of the great hours, pay, and working conditions! LeAnn reminds them why they entered the profession- - and why they stay. By sharing Chicken Soup stories, and those from her own 30 years of nursing, LeAnn encourages, uplifts and honors nurses and champions their daily contributions and sacrifices. By teaching tools for life balance, she offers nurses a "care plan" to care for themselves as they care for others. With love and humor, LeAnn re-energizes them with hope, health, and healing during these challenging times, inspiring them to continue their compassionate service. It’s estimated to cost $50,000 to recruit and train a new nurse. LeAnn’s presentation increases nurse retention - and costs less than most sign-on bonuses! When she spoke to graduating nurses at a hospital nurse recruitment event, over 50 percent signed up that evening. Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul or “How Long Can I Keep This Up?!” While rewarding, caregiving requires tremendous emotional, physical and spiritual stamina, making burnout an everyday challenge. In Chicken Soup for the Caregiver's Soul, LeAnn offers remedies by encouraging caregivers to care for themselves as devotedly as they do for others. By sharing stories from Chicken Soup for the Caregiver's Soul and her own life experiences, she fills caregivers with hope, courage, and strength and honors them for the difference they make in the world. You've Got To See It To Be It! Scientific studies prove positive thinking and visualization promote mental, physical, and spiritual health. By sharing medical research and her airlift experiences, LeAnn empowers audiences to improve their health by improving their attitudes. A former childbirth educator, LeAnn teaches how labor tools - breathing, relaxation, positive thinking and visualization, and management of time - apply as we "labor" through everyday life. Light A Single Candle A sign above a pediatric burn unit in Vietnam read, “It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.” LeAnn reminds audiences they don't have to fly into a war zone to make a difference in the world. No effort is too small. By lighting our single candles, we make a difference and set the world aglow with our goodness. By identifying, exploring, and sharing our gifts, we receive more than we give.
