Leadership Lessons From the First Female Thunderbird Pilot
About this episode
When it comes to elite team and personal performance, Nicole Malachowski, the United States Air Force's first female Thunderbird pilot and a combat veteran, is best in class. After a tick-borne illness left her unable to walk, talk, read or write, Nicole left behind her distinguished career of service, but during her rehabilitation, she found a new purpose. In remembering and retelling stories of her as a military commander and leader, she discovered these moments held universal principles and actionable takeaways for organizations, industry leaders and their teams.
Nicole, who will give the keynote at Gartner Marketing Symposium/Xpo™ this May, speaks to business leaders and audiences around the world about rethinking their challenges and learning to maximize human performance in the process. Tune in to this episode for her insights on redefining success, embracing vulnerability and reinventing yourself.
