Carey Lohrenz Releases “Span of Control” with ForbesBooks

Carey Lohrenz is a mom, spouse, business consultant, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and one of the first women to pilot an F-14 Tomcat in the U.S. Navy. Lohrenz is acutely aware that the stress one feels on a day-to-day basis can be just as intense as a fighter jet going Mach 2. Her new book, Span of Control, leverages her years of training to help others overcome the specific natures of uncertainty, stress, burnout, anxiety, and pressure.

Lohrenz understands how our sense of control is fleeting, yet we still try to keep a grip on everything in our lives at all times. Inevitably, chaos finds a way in, things fall apart. We lose control, and many of us lack the skill set to regain control when the pressure is on. Lohrenz believes that we must focus our attention and effort explicitly and relentlessly on a limited number of priorities that we can, and should, control—offering a clear path out of the chaos that can accompany our biggest challenges and our moments of greatest distress.

"If you haven't experienced your life's crucible yet, I'd encourage you to take the time now to learn from those who have," Lohrenz implored. "My hope is that Span of Control will be the foundation, the operating manual of ideas, insights, and actions for your flight plan for success, come whatever may."

In Span of Control, Lohrenz walks readers through the fundamentals of keeping a cool head in times of crisis. With an analytical yet engaging approach, turning to the science and stories of her time in a $45 million cockpit, Lohrenz's book showcases the right approach to the most harrowing situations. Lohrenz hopes to teach her audience how to focus on what matters most, formulate a plan for success, and communicate what is possible.
