Flying High - Business Lessons from fast jet flying with guest Mandy Hickson

Flying High - Business Lessons from fast jet flying with guest Mandy Hickson
Ever wondered what it must be like to fly a fast jet in a combat situation? Think about fast jets and my mind immediately takes me to the film ‘Top Gun’ and I have always been intrigued to understand more about this challenging and dangerous endeavour . When life is on the line, pilots must be rigorously trained and exercises carefully planned and evaluated. There is much we can learn in business from such careful strategy, training, planning and debriefing. My guest for this show is Mandy Hickson. Mandy fought hard to achieve her ambition to be a Royal Air Force pilot. She was only the second woman to fly a Tornado GR4, completing three tours of duty and 45 missions over Iraq. Today, Mandy shares the strategies, tactics and behaviours adopted for high stake missions for the benefit of today’s business leaders. Join us for an interview that will help us to take our businesses higher and faster!
