LeAnn Thieman, CSP: Author of Chicken Soup for
the Caregiver's Soul

KEYNOTE ADDRESS ~ “Balancing Life in YOUR War Zones”

A nationally acclaimed Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), author and a nurse “accidentally” caught up in the Vietnam era’s Operation Babylift, LeAnn Thieman describes herself as an ordinary person who struggled through extraordinary circumstances and found the courage to succeed. A renowned motivational speaker with 37 years of nursing experience, she acknowledges the art of caregiving and shares life-changing lessons based on beliefs that we all have individual “war zones.” She inspires audiences to “balance their lives, live their priorities and make a difference in the world.” A prolific author, her works include: Chicken Soup for the Grandma's Soul, Chicken Soup for the Caregiver's Soul, Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul (Dose 1 & Dose 2) and the soon to be released Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul.
