Curt Steinhorst helps leaders eliminate hidden friction—what he calls Drag—so teams can move faster, communicate better, and thrive under pressure. A keynote speaker, author, and advisor with roots in a hypersonic aerospace startup, Steinhorst brings a sharp lens on human behavior and a gift for making the complicated feel conquerable. He's driven by a deep curiosity about how leaders think, why they think it, and the ripple effects their decisions create. With humor, insight, and a rare ability to shift the energy in a room, Steinhorst creates space for leaders to think clearer, feel braver, and reconnect with why their work matters. He believes the best work should be challenging—but the people shouldn't be. His mission is simple: turn pressure into progress and help teams build something remarkable—together.
