Talking Points:
- How I became a controller – what I thought the job was going to be like, as compared to what the job does entail
- 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.
- Career pivot – how it came about, how did resilience fit into the situation. Why did I choose to coach?
- 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?
- 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.
- 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.
