Lead Like a Pilot

Take on a Pilot’s Perspective to Navigate Change and Success with Agility

Pilots are known for their clear communication skills, decisiveness, situational awareness, information processing, workload management, and overall sense of personal responsibility.

These same skills are invaluable in today’s workplace, given the varied tasks and responsibilities each team member is required to perform, often in the work from home environment.

In this talk, each member of your team will learn immediate ways to think and act with a pilot in command mentality.

Learn:

• How conducting “pre-flight” style team briefings can ensure understanding, preparedness and confidence among team members
• How to identify and avoid the five most hazardous attitudes to stress responses, and how to counter them with positive action
• How the use of checklists can free up working memory while building team trust and synchronicity

Learn to Love the Turbulence

Create a Flight Plan to Clear any Goal for Take-Off

It would be great if all our goals could be reached without any disruption, but the reality is, reaching new heights requires us to get comfortable with the possibility of turbulence.

Preparedness and understanding are the strongest antidotes to turbulence.

Drawing upon her upcoming book, Learn to Love the Turbulence: Flight Lessons on Becoming the Pilot in Command of Your Own Journey”, Amelia shares what it takes to create a solid flight plan to reach any goal, identify and assess risk, and formulate backup plans to prepare for disruption, adversity, and challenges.

Learn:

• How forecasting and proper planning can prepare us to make even the most difficult journeys.
• The concept of 360 degree thinking to gain confidence in course correcting through and around major challenges.
• The importance of “Aviate, Navigate, Communicate,” which allows us to distribute responsibility and prioritize appropriate action in times of stress and confusion.

Own Your Airspace

How to Be Bold, Resourceful, and Agile in Uncharted Territory

In aviation, airspace is the environment where aircraft fly. In the professional world, the “airspace” in which we operate can be thought of similarly. When we own our airspace, we know where we’re going, who we’re sharing airspace with, and we fully understand the rules of the airspace in which we choose to fly. Only then can we begin to fly with confidence, direction, and a sense of mission.

In this talk, your team will learn how to see the big picture, strategically avoid potential storms, and identify their own unique headings to not only soar, but truly “own their airspace.”

Learn:

• The three levels of true situational awareness: Being a passenger, a pilot, or an air traffic controller.
• To identify headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds in terms of professional challenges and opportunities.
• To become comfortable flying “unusual headings” through a divergent creative thinking exercise.
