Talking Points:

  1. How I became a controller – what I thought the job was going to be like, as compared to what the job does entail
  2. What is air traffic control and what makes it such a great career? – what are the pros? What are some of the challenges of the occupation? Things to consider are work/life balance, shift work, fatigue, and how stress in personal life can affect work.
  3. Career pivot – how it came about, how did resilience fit into the situation. Why did I choose to coach?
  4. Building resilience – what is resilience for starters? Why would you want to be resilient? How do we learn to be resilient in life? Why do we need it in aviation?
  5. What holds us back from being resilient? What are normal reactions to challenges or change? Awareness is such an important part of a resilience journey. Intentional thoughts and actions rather than reacting to situations.
  6. How do we become more resilient – there is no one way to become resilient. However, there are proven actions, thoughts, and behaviors that we can practice to become more resilient.
