Lift Off!
In business as in life you need to NAVIGATE the best route for your team.
Airplanes on average are 90% off track (compared to the planned line on the map) but they still reach their destination. Most Businesses are on Autopilot. When the aeroplane is on autopilot the question is, “What is the aeroplane doing now?” Answer, “What you’ve programmed…” What if you could take the bird’s eye view to move more effectively towards meaningful success and desired goals? When you have an emergency at 40,000ft as a commercial pilot you must take command. In business individuals and teams are always going to face unexpected challenges, from career paths to team collaboration.
Let Amanda show you how to improve your leadership skills, from valuable lessons learned from real life emergencies in the cockpit.

Dyslexic Dis- Ability
Learn the Superpowers of Dyslexia for life and business.
“I would be scared of having a Dyslexic Pilot!” I was told. “Why? Because you think I cannot read a checklist?” A check list is for checking you have done things, not actually doing them in the first place. Being a Dyslexic helps Amanda as a pilot because it gives her thinking outside the box for emergencies. 3-dimensional experience for navigation. Determination for getting the job done. Being able to learn in different ways other than linear. Great verbal communication skills.
Take Amanda’s years of figuring out how to succeed being a Dyslexic, and fast track your success. Because she wouldn’t change her Dyslexia for anything now. As it is her superpower.

“Amanda is a great role model for women in aviation. Hearing her experience, ambition, and passion has motivated me to apply for a scholarship and complete a PPL. I am very grateful that Amanda has made me aware of some of the opportunities available, particularly for women.”
