Resilience, mindset and performing under pressure with Tornado pilot Mandy Hickson
About this episode
My guest on the podcast today was the RAF's second ever female fast jet pilot, flying the Tornado GR4 on the front line, completing three tours of duty and 45 missions over Iraq.
Mandy Hickson talks to me about mindset and motivation, resilience and imposter syndrome, stress and confidence, both in and out of the armed forces.
I saw Mandy speak at an event a few years ago and recently read her book, 'An Officer not a Gentleman', which is like a guidebook for how to set and accomplish your most ambitious goals, but also packed with edge-of-your-seat stories and humour.
In our conversation Mandy shares some great tips about how to bounce back from setbacks, how to manage immense pressure and also how to 'debrief yourself' objectively to help learn from mistakes.
You can find out more about Mandy's work through her website and I highly recommend picking up a copy of her book An Officer, Not A Gentleman.
