Meet Hang Glider Pilot Chris Waugh

She's not just an Oregon keynote speaker, she really knows about life on the fly. The turbulent winds of change swirl all around you. Success comes to those who are skilled at winging it!

Chris Waugh can launch into unseen currents and take advantage of the lift she finds there- that's how she soars her hang glider. You can discover how to find and seize opportunities in your world by using the same approach that Chris does when she wings it.

"There is lift in the turbulence. Find it, and exploit it."

Of course, she has a business management and leadership background. But Chris is uniquely qualified to be your 'flight' instructor with lessons, stories, analogies and metaphors from decades of flying hang gliders. She'll inspire, provoke and entertain, lending wings to your success.

When Chris discovered hang gliding, there were no successful female pilot role models. Chris learned the laws of aviation and meteorology, and practice at ground school with other pilots. As a woman pilot, she also adapted for her light wing loading and relative lack of strength.

Chris has logged hundreds of hours of airtime. She soared to an altitude of 10,000 feet (almost two miles) off the valley floor one day, and flew 33 miles cross-country. Two times, she launched off Oregon's 9,000 foot Mt Bachelor. All those years of experience give her some insightful stories and a unique perspective! Chris is a charter member of the United States Hang Gliding Association and holds an advanced pilot rating. She can teach you to soar without going near a hang glider.

"At first I thought the lessons I learned flying were just about hang gliding."
