Jeremy Stoker

Bringing Aviation Principles to Life

Jeremy is a two-time TEDx speaker and a respected leader in the aviation industry, with over 30 years of experience and more than 10,000 flight hours in a wide range of aircraft. Born and raised just outside Seattle, Washington, a city known for its deep aviation roots, Jeremy’s passion for flight began early and has driven his career ever since. Today, he leads from the cockpit as Captain of the Airbus A320 and is recognized for his expertise and leadership in the field. He currently resides near Dallas, Texas, with his wife Adrienne—the girl of his dreams—whom he’s been married to for nearly 25 years. And of all his accomplishments, none makes him prouder than being a father.

Signature Talk:

The Leadership Fuel for Your Generation—and the Next

Jeremy’s dream to become a pilot began when his father took him to an air show at the age of seven. Sixteen years later he completed his degree in aviation with a commercial pilot’s license three months after 9/11. The aviation industry was in turmoil. Feeling the pressure of student loan debt and with little hope of fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming an airline pilot, Jeremy began to give up and settle for a life that paid the bills. But in a moment of profound grief, he found his determination. Using the same principles he learned in flight training; he began to plot a path to the destination he set when he was seven. He’s not just paying the bills anymore.

Fuel Up

The first thing a pilot reviews in a flight plan is the fuel load. Unlike a car, you don’t just fill the tanks and go, fuel is strategic. Too much, and the aircraft is too heavy to land safely; too little, and it won’t reach its destination. Success requires leaders to provide clarity of destination and the discipline to carry only what’s essential, just enough to execute the mission, without unnecessary weight that slows the team down.

Stay on Course

A plane is off course 99% of the time. Without constant corrections, problems become unpredictable. We’ll explore how strong leaders set the course, prioritize what matters, and make the right adjustments to stay on mission.

Follow Your Checklist

Pilots live by their checklists—literally. With up to 4 million parts on an aircraft, checklists ensure every system performs exactly when and how it should. It’s complex, but for pilots, it becomes second nature. Great leaders do the same,using clear systems, habits, and routines to lead with precision, build resilient teams, and solve problems before they escalate.

Because of Jeremy I’ve had more improvement in the last six months than the last six years!
