To become a Fighter Combat Instructor, the Australian equivalent of a Top Gun Fighter Pilot is an amazing accomplishment and then to become a commercial pilot with one of the best airlines in the world was just the icing on the cake. His pathway through Airforce, then flying 747’s and A330’s brought this guest so much happiness he has taken the opportunity to use his experience and skills to mentor others.
His lessons are not just lessons for future fighter pilots but lessons for anyone. It doesn’t matter whether you want to become a young person in business, a fire fighter, a doctor or whoever. The most important thing to recognize is that you are the one that one that controls mental wellbeing. Preparation, understanding of others (empathy), the willingness to ask for help and acceptance that we may well fail will be the key to getting back up and being a better and mentally more resilient person.
This is a story of a man, who claims to be ordinary and through just hard work managed to climb to the top of his game, very inspirational story.
