E32 - Guests: Mandy Hickson, RAF Tornado Pilot, Author, Keynote Speaker

Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

This week's episode was a real joy for me as it is an interview with fellow fast-jet pilot and former RAF Officer, Mandy Hickson.
Mandy was one of the very first women to go through RAF flying training and was the second female Tornado GR4 pilot. She had an extremely active 17 year RAF career, and is now the bestselling author of "An Officer, not a Gentleman", and a highly acclaimed motivational speaker whose talents are in demand all over the world.
Unsurprisingly, Many and I have a great deal in common given our shared RAF flying experiences, and this was a hugely enjoyable conversation which covered a lot of ground, but which also touched on a wide range of important areas of leadership. I really hope you enjoy listening to it as we did making it.
