Did you know that only 5% of pilots are women?
Whether you’re flying high or puttering on the ground with your work, your next decision might determine what direction to go. Some of us feel limited by the people around us and the expectations society has for us. Others have found ways to do work that they love with the impact they want – and get paid for it.
Your regular hosts, Ted and Sara, talk to our “guest” and usual co-host, Sandrine Gressard, about her flying journey and big goals. Sandrine has been a glider pilot for years and has created a quest to combine her existing coaching business, a desire to inspire young girls, and an ambition to fly her plane to all 300 airports in Quebec into an incredible renaissance business.
This episode is filled with tips about how to turn ideas into lofty goals that stick, keep yourself on track, and leverage your risk to make things happen. Whether or not you’re around young girls or have your own children, any career or goal is possible with the right mindset and skillset.
“I don’t believe the Universe works in ways where it will just help you if you’re unsure. It will bring to you what you need when you are clear on what you want.” – Sandrine Gressard
