"I learned resiliency or the art of resiliency — bouncing back from any adversity and things that come your way." — Suzanne Lesko
In this episode of Make Your Move, I’m speaking with Suzanne Lesko, a former naval aviator who retired as a Navy Captain after 26 years of service. You can find her section in The Military Effect by Scott Manthorne in chapter 42.
Suzanne opens up about her journey from naval aviator to public speaker, sharing how vulnerable you can feel being on stage and how she developed her keynote, "The 8 Superpowers of the Resilient Leader: Tales of the Warrior Advisor."
Hear her thoughts on the art of "failing forward fast" and how military experience can bring valuable insights to the world of business. You’ll also learn the story behind her call sign, ”Xena,” and her mentors, who have made a life-changing impact along the way.
Listen to the full episode to hear about her experiences in naval aviation and public affairs and her transition into civilian life.
