Understanding these elements is crucial for identifying and addressing toxicity in the workplace.2. Recognition and appreciation are essential for creating a healthy work environment: Despite the prevalence of employee recognition programs, many individuals still do not receive the appreciation they deserve. Leaders and organizations need to be more intentional and effective in showing their employees that they are valued.3. Acts of service can be a powerful form of appreciation: Small actions, such as answering emails, delegating tasks, or assisting with clerical work, can make a significant impact on colleagues or employees. Understanding the languages of appreciation helps to ensure that the right actions are taken to make others feel valued.4. Appropriate physical touch to show appreciation: High fives or pats on the back, can be a spontaneous form of celebration in the workplace: However, different cultures have varying levels of comfort with physical touch, and it is crucial to respect individual boundaries. The recipient of touch determines what is appropriate.5. Gifts in the workplace should be thoughtful and personalized: Instead of generic gifts, taking the time to understand an individual's interests and preferences can make the gift more impactful. It's not about how much money you spend, but about the thought and effort put into the gift.Learn More: - Visit The Few With Boo website to find additional resources, related episodes, and more valuable content from Dr. White [Link to the Few website episode page] Connect with Dr. Paul White:  - Official Website: https://drpaulwhite.com/- Social Media: LinkedIn , Twitter - Book: Learn how to improve job satisfaction, create more positive relationships between managers and employees, and decrease burnout rates.

Since the release of Top Gun: Maverick, Bec, Cosi & Lehmo have all been inspired by the incredible skills of fighter jet pilots. So on the show this morning for "What's it like" the team talk to Christian "Boo" Boucousis, a former fighter jet pilot. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest today knows full well that his expertise is not as easy as picking up a phone book or googling the number of a ‘fighter pilot' here in Australia. You would think that all we might be talking about is the change of government or the horrors of the war in Ukraine. No, it is the premiere of Top Gun 2 and in between appearances on Seven's Sunrise and Nine's Today show our guest had a chat with Nic and Carmen. Christian ‘Boo” Boucousis is a former fighter pilot, a current author, speaker, human behaviour, and leadership expert and coach. He might be adding Australia's greatest “newsjacker” to his title as never have we seen such a demand on his time for an appearance this week on radio, television, and print. To do the two breakfast TV programs you are either a sporting icon like Ronaldo or a superstar musician like Paul McCartney. The aviation industry is a fascinating one and the ‘fighter pilot' is the pinnacle of that industry in the training and the lifestyle that comes with it. The training and the mindset of a pilot can be transferred to leaders of industry and that is what Boo has been doing with his business Afterburner. A fantastic program that is helping businesses make better decisions that might be under pressure or difficult circumstances. Not only is Boo a fascinating fella with an incredible experience to share and educate others on but he is also a top bloke.

The new Top Gun movie hits cinemas today, and as the world prepares to watch Tom Cruise reprise his role as Captain “Maverick” Pete Mitchell - Fitzy and Wippa wanted to find out what it's like to be a real life fighter pilot. Enter Christian "Boo" Boucousis. Watch the Top Gun 2 premiere with REAL fighter pilots! Grab your ticket at callmeboo.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christian “Boo” Boucousis is an established entrepreneur, business owner, and today, an executive leadership and performance coach. At the age of 19 Boo was recruited into the Royal Australian Air Force as a pilot, one of only 400 trained over a 38 year period. After serving 11 years as an elite fighter pilot, Boo was medically discharged with a diagnosis of "bone-fusing" Ankylosing Spondylitis. This was the catalyst that brought Boo some of the most challenging and emotionally stressful times of his life, through which he entered the next phase of his life; building disruptive businesses and helping others to do the same. Today, Boo has founded a humanitarian business that develops projects on behalf of the United Nations, built the world's tallest prefabricated modular hotel, and bought and revamped his favorite childhood magazine, Australian Aviation. Now as a life coach, author, and podcast host, he serves people in an entirely new way. This Episode's Heavy-hitter's: Since he was six years old, Boo knew he wanted to be a fighter pilot. This made focusing on achieving that goal much simpler, and Boo was networking as a kid trying to meet fighter pilots and get exposure to that world every chance he could. Boo almost didn't make it into the Air Force because of his slightly below average eyesight– since he was close enough the examiner passed him anyway and told him to get glasses after the fact. One way Boo has managed to get more done is the “want, plan, do” method. Essentially, by setting our goals too high, we usually fall short and get nothing done. He starts focusing on the smaller goals that are feasible so that he's more motivated to do more in the long run. Boo's number one qualifier for selecting a new business or vertical to get involved with is that it has to be disruptive. He says it's because he has always challenged conventional wisdom and how things have been done. The life-or-death nature of his old job as a fighter pilot still drives Boo to make the most of his time. His mantra “never give up” reinforces this for him and other veterans.

Every time I see someone self-sabotaging I understand, having had that experience makes me a bit more empathetic towards people who are doing it and I and I call them on it really quickly.  The benefit of situational awareness is it doesn't care how fast you're going in and you know, I see ample bad decisions made at a slow speed, let alone bad decisions at high speed.  One of the things we learn is good or bad decisions is irrelevant, the decision itself is what's important. 1:28        I was exceedingly lucky to have that sense of purpose or an incredibly young age.5:09        I think that the biggest handbrake to people living their best lives is themselves7:35        What I subconsciously decided to do was sabotage my career instead13:10     What I think is important is the leader must work in the business to understand what it's like working as an employee in the business18:33     Without a decision, the environment stays vague and stays gray, you need to move  into the black or white end of that spectrum.https://callmeboo.com/FIGHTER PILOT • ENTREPRENEUR - LEADER • CEO • AUTHOR - PERFORMANCE COACHBoo is an established entrepreneur, business owner and today, an executive leadership and performance coach.

The product of a $15 million dollar training program, Boo reached the pinnacle of his career as a Squadron Leader, before his medical discharge for a chronic auto immune disorder known as Ankylosing Spondylitis.At 30 years of age Boo made a life changing decision, boarding a commercial flight to Kabul Afghanistan, where he founded CTG Global, a Humanitarian business delivering projects on behalf of United Nations agencies. Over a period of three years Boo cut his business teeth in one of the worlds most demanding, challenging and dangerous environments on the planet, successfully growing the business to over 1,600 employees until its sale four years later.Today CTG is a multi-million-dollar company with operations spanning the globe. Boo subsequently transitioned into property development and hospitality, his company built the world's tallest prefabricated modular hotel in the Australian city of Perth, completing a two year project in only 11 months. The project set a record for the construction of 17 stories, completing the structure in only 11 weeks.Boo also heads up the Australian arm of an organisation called “Afterburner” a team of men and women who had served as fighter pilots, the custodians of “The Fighter Pilot Way”, also called Flawless Execution. Upon participating in his first Afterburner event Boo had anepiphany, the skills he learned, developed and applied as a fighter pilot were the fundamental skills that lead to his business success.It's through this journey Boo developed a passion for human performance. He's identified what it is about our innate humanness that prevents us from living the life we dream about and the secrets to unlocking the power of the people around us to assist us with achieving our goals.

Diagnosed with a serious medical condition, Boo could no longer fly fighter aircraft so he took the plunge into business. Using the skills and knowledge he acquired in the Air Force, Boo attributes his success in business to the values and discipline he learned in and out of the cockpit – focus, efficiency, continuous improvement and simplicity.He is a leadership and performance expert and the author of “On Time, On Target: How Teams and Companies Can Cut Through Complexity and Get Things Done….The Fighter Pilot Way”.

Last week, a mini-RAAF revolution took place when the Air Force decided to drop the term airmen in favour of aviators. But on this week’s Australian Aviation Podcast, our chief pilot Christian “Boo” Boucousis tells stand-in host Adam Thorn they’ve got it all wrong. The pair discuss whether the move wrecks tradition or will be an important part of modernising the organisation. What should the RAAF be doing to get the next generation itching to become fighter pilots? Finally, the team discusses the latest problems to hit the country’s vaccine rollout. Will Fortress Australia ever lower its walls to the rest of the world?

It was a week that saw government bailouts, trans-Atlantic rivalries, and moves towards sustainable aviation. Tune in to this episode of the World of Aviation Podcast, where host Adam Thorn and guests Hannah Dowling and Christian “Boo” Boucousis discuss the current status of US government financial aid for US airlines and airports. The team also discusses the ongoing battle between Airbus and Boeing, and the trans-Atlantic tariff feud that may just have an end in sight. To wrap up, the crew talks about KLM's commercial service using sustainable fuel, and other climate-conscious decisions made as the aviation industry returns some of its focus to the climate emergency.

Tune in to this week's episode of the World of Aviation Podcast, where host Adam Thorn and guests Hannah Dowling and Christian “Boo” Boucousis discuss the latest update on the Sriwijaya crash, as well as Airbus in criminal court and, of course, the latest and greatest of Boeing's woes. The week saw Boeing shaken up by seemingly endless PR problems amid its record-breaking $12 billion annual loss, while rival Airbus was asked to return to French criminal court on charges of manslaughter. Meanwhile, in lighter news, the UK is set to see its first-ever eVTOL pop-up airport in Coventry, of all places.

With borders opening and COVID cases falling, there’s a sense of optimism in the industry that has been missing for months.  But that good news means airlines are gearing up to battle for market share in the post-pandemic world.  This week, host Phil Tarrant and guests Adam Thorn and Christian “Boo” Boucousis discuss who is going to win out as Rex gears up to flying capital cities, and Virgin plans cooperation with Alliance.  Finally, the team chat about the latest developments in the Qatar invasive search scandal. Will the story run and run, or have authorities drawn a line under it?

Since the start of the pandemic, Qatar Airways has won plaudits for being one of the few carriers to soldier on during the crisis, helping stranded passengers return “home”. But that goodwill has seemingly evaporated after it was revealed up to 18 female passengers from Australia, the UK and France were invasively searched, apparently to find the mother of an abandoned premature baby. This week, host Adam Thorn and regular guest Christian “Boo” Boucousis discuss the fallout and whether Qatar can recover. Plus, the team also chat about the smart ‘new' A321 Passenger-to-Freighter Conversion, Cathay's new pilot dispute and whether it's time to stop searching for MH370.  

Last month, World of Aviation reported on multiple flight crews recording the unique sight of a man in a jet pack flying alongside their aircraft on approach to LAX. This week, host Adam Thorn and regular guest Christian “Boo” Boucousis speculate just what might have happened to him as new sightings emerge. It doesn't take long though, for the team to meander off onto drones, flying cars and why anyone would go for a meal on a grounded A380. In economy. Finally, as countries tentatively begin to open to each other, Adam and Boo discuss the challenges for aviation in a, hopefully, just pre-vaccine world.

Last week, a French fighter jet broke the sound barrier above Paris, causing a sonic boom that wreaked havoc across the city while the French Open was in play. This week, the World of Aviation's resident fighter pilot, Christian “Boo” Boucousis, tells host Adam Thorn exactly how it works – and its implications for commercial supersonic travel. Plus, with the A380 now all-but retired, the team discuss Singapore's plan to turn the aircraft into a restaurant where aviation enthusiasts can enjoy a nostalgic meal. Will anyone choose to dine in economy?

On the previous episode of the Australian Aviation podcast, Virgin Australia chief executive Paul Scurrah appeared on the show to talk through the business’ bold comeback plan that will see it slot in between being a low-cost carrier and large international airline. Or as he calls it, the company will morph into a “high-quality, value airline”. This week, host Phil Tarrant and guests Adam Thorn and a returning Christian “Boo” Boucousis ask: will it work? And can the plan fend off heavy champion Qantas and plucky upstart Rex? Plus, they discuss whether the federal government has done enough to help the industry, with little help for third party providers and airports. When the sector recovers, will there be enough skilled professionals left to get us moving again? Finally, the team chat about the progress of Loyal Wingman, and ponder whether it could open the door to a wave of investment in UAVs over the next decade.

As investigations into the legitimacy of Pakistani pilot licenses continue, a simultaneously conducted internal audit report has found that its pilots are being overpaid, underproductive and spending far too much on luxurious hotels. In this episode of the World of Aviation Podcast, host Adam thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis discuss whether the "luxury pilot life" stereotype is founded in truth, the differences between flying for a low-cost or domestic carrier and a prestigious national airline, and the hierarchy in the cockpit for a major international carrier. Adam and Boo delve into the endless saga of airbridges in Europe opening and closing at short notice, the fraught relationship between Boeing and Airbus, cracks being found in Rolls Royce engines, and an upcoming battle between an AI-controlled fighter jet and a US Air Force pilot.

Virgin Galactic are in the headlines this week for unveiling concept plans for an extraordinary new supersonic jet, despite Virgin Atlantic only recently filing for bankruptcy protection. In the age of COVID-19 in which most airlines are barely surviving, is it possible to consider a future for supersonic travel? Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis are back for another episode of the World of Aviation to discuss the driving force behind Concorde's demise, and whether Virgin's strategy of appealing to a luxury market is a wise commercial decision. Hear Adam and Boo reflect on the spectrum of COVID-19 safe policies across different airlines, from South West Airlines to Qatar Airways, and how the lack of border closure consistency is affecting the aviation industry. They also delve into the recent surge in "flights to nowhere", what's involved in keeping an aircraft active while grounded, and how accurately sims can simulate the experience of encountering unexpected hurdles.

Emirates is offering to cover customers' coronavirus related health expenses and quarantine costs in its latest bid to get people on planes, but will this move actually incentivise travel? In this episode of World of Aviation, Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis reflect on the inconsistencies across the industry in the current state of the world, whereby some airlines and countries are focusing solely on repatriation while others are promoting holidays and business trips. Adam and Boo also discuss Boeing 747's final demise, Ryanair's attempts to avoid staff cuts by trying to enforce pay cuts, success for private jets during COVID-19, and an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 777F catching fire in Shanghai.

He's also practised as an examiner, specialising in both air show display flying and warbirds. In this episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, Gary joins hosts Phil Tarrant and Christian "Boo" Boucousis to talk about his earliest aviation memory, his transition from seaman officer to aviator with the Navy, and the difference between military and commercial pilot training. He gives an insight into what the flight examination process is actually like, outlines his preparation routine for getting into the zone on flying days, and reveals his hairiest flying experience to date.

Airlines around the world are tackling the tricky challenge of saving costs by hibernating, whilst also maintaining a workforce that's viable on the other side of this crisis. In this episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, hear about the carnage over airbridges in the EU, from the UK's closure to Spain and Ireland's fundamentally flawed "green lists". Hosts Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis also discuss the potential return of the 737 MAX, the latest on the Pakistani pilot controversy, a bold call from Iceland Air, and a cyber attack on Garmin.

In this week's World of Aviation Podcast, hosts Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis recap Virgin Atlantic's miraculous revival with a big helping hand from Sir Richard Branson, as well as the very slow resuscitation of the 737 MAX. Tune in to this episode to hear Adam and Boo reflect on the ongoing rivalry between Boeing and Airbus, Singapore Airlines admitting they're struggling, and Qatar Airways seeking compensation for losses over an airspace blockade. They also discuss a new development in Pakistan's dodgy-or-not license scandal, a new ultra-luxury airport to open in Saudi Arabia in 2023, and the proliferation of unusual COVID-19 jobs for pilots that have been stood down or made redundant.

With pockets of second wave COVID-19 spikes cropping up around the world and border closures changing by the moment, were some airlines a bit pre-emptive in committing to getting planes back in the sky?

In this episode they'll also touch on a new Microsoft flight simulator program, the cause of the recent R44 rash in WA, and NSW's investment into an electric flying car testing facility.

While Boeing initially blamed aircraft pilots for the tragic incidents involving the 737 MAX, a watchdog report has revealed that the manufacturer actually failed to share critical information regarding flight control software to regulators. In this episode of World of Aviation, hosts Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis unpack who is truly responsible, why the aircraft was so popular in the first place, and what needs to happen to get the plane back in the air. They also discuss an astounding fraudulent license discovery out of Pakistan, whether the industry is over reliant on automation, and the impacts of the recent COVID-19 spikes in Australia and the UK on aviation.

While it may seem like the worst of the pandemic has passed, the long-term effects on the global aviation sector cannot be underestimated, with fleets of aircraft and business travel under threat of being phased out. Hosts Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis discuss the uncertain future of the A380, the ambiguity surrounding European border closures, and a tragic puppy discovery on a Ukrainian International Airlines plane. In this episode, Adam also talks to the VP Pacific of Qatar Airways, Tom Scruby, about why the airline decided to not only keep flying through COVID-19, but in some cases even increase its services, subsequently becoming one of the world's biggest international carriers.

After weeks of good news, mixed messaging between state and federal governments is spooking consumers. In this episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant, Christian "Boo" Boucousis and Adam Thorn delve into a minister's hint around keeping international borders closed, Australia's acquirement of its third Triton, and an "unsettling" development in the Virgin saga.

Join hosts Adam Thorn and Christian "Boo" Boucousis on this episode of the World of Aviation Podcast as they delve into how different airlines are responding to the easing restrictions, whether claims of onboard safety is based in fact or more of a PR stunt, and what will happen to demand as we emerge from the pandemic and into a recession.

Tune in to this episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast to hear feedback from the regional airport sector in response to $40 million of upgrades, and uncertainty around JobKeeper among airline administration and unions. Hosts Phil Tarrant, Christian "Boo" Boucousis and Adam Thorn also discuss a story about a miraculous teen pilot crash, Qatar's dramatic market share increase, and new RAAF drone innovation.

As Australia waited for the National Cabinet to announce the return of flying, Alan Joyce seized the initiative early and revealed he'll hugely increase capacity in July. But will his plan be profitable? Host Phil Tarrant, Christian "Boo" Boucousis and Adam Thorn share their insights as to whether or not demand will be there. They'll also discuss events across the ditch, where New Zealand has declared victory against coronavirus and dropped social distancing. What does this mean for the future of international travel and border reopenings?

On this episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, Phil Tarrant, Christian "Boo" Boucousis and Adam Thorn recap the not-so-confidential front runners in the fight for Virgin, the latest on JobKeeper and JobMaker eligibility in the aviation sector, and Air New Zealand's strong footing in the current crisis.

On this episode of Australian Aviation, your hosts Phil Tarrant, Christian "Boo" Boucousis and senior writer Adam Thorn delve into Virgin's public fight for survival and stories of industry resilience and initiative in working around current restrictions. They also get philosophical about the implications of the rapid shift to a remote workforce on domestic and international travel in the wake of COVID-19.

While the federal government has responded to the airline sector with billions of dollars’ worth of support, the struggle of small aviation businesses through the devastating COVID-19 crisis remain largely unrecognised. Businesses that were already financially strained due to the cost of keeping up with existing regulation are now in even direr straights. CEO of Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Benjamin Morgan joins host Phil Tarrant and Christian "Boo" Boucousis to delve into the crippling effect of coronavirus on the Australian aviation industry as a whole and outline the action that needs to be taken by the government and these smaller businesses to gear them up for recovery when the current situation dissipates. On this episode, Benjamin also unpacks the somewhat unsavory motivation behind the recent closure of a Canberra Airport cross runway and how it is reflective of a wider issue that is pervading the Australian airport sector.

The last few days have seen a shift in sentiment amid the global airline sector in regard to COVID-19, from initially being focused on getting people home to now aggressively calling for government bailouts.

Tune in to hear how Rolls Royce have been affected, whether other companies on the supply chain deserve to receive a government bailout, and the issues Boeing are having in getting the 737 MAX back in service.

In the last week, a dramatic ramping up of social distancing, travel bans and state lockdowns have forced airlines to stand down the majority of their staff. But amid the chaos, what's next for Australia's aviation industry? On this episode of the podcast, hosts Phil Tarrant, Christian "Boo" Boucousis and senior writer Adam Thorn reflect on the latest airline announcements, including Virgin Australia standing down 80% of its staff, Qantas' soaring share price, and REX's unique approach to demanding a bail-out. They discuss the long road to recovery predicted for international flights, the ongoing collaboration between unions and airlines, and the now booming maintenance and storage sector of the industry.

The coronavirus crisis has sent ripples through the worldwide aviation sector, with dramatic reductions in civil flights and manufacturers pausing production while uncertainty around the future of the industry prevails. Hosts Phil Tarrant and Christian "Boo" Boucousis are joined by senior writer Adam Thorn on this episode of the podcast to unpack the current sentiment within the sector. They cover the latest headlines around airlines and manufacturers asking for a collective bail-out and how consumers have responded to this request for government support. Phil, Boo and Adam also delve into the role that aviation plays in Australian sovereignty, the potentiality of a mass border closure, and their predictions around a forecasted global recession. Boo also commences his Learjet conversion training and shares his experience with us thus far, dialling in from Tuscon, Arizona.

The coronavirus pandemic is undoubtedly having a substantial impact on the aviation sector, with staff and passenger safety, employment and share prices all areas of significant concern moving forward.

He could mope around staring longingly at the Mavericks of the world high-fiving and shouting "I feel the need, the need for speed" but he didnt. Instead using the skills and knowledge he acquired in the Air Force, he co-founded a successful humanitarian support company in the Middle East growing it to over 1,500 staff.

In the first edition of Australian Aviation Radio, we talk to the magazine's new owner Christian "Boo" Boucousis & editor Gerard Frawley about the brand's transition into digital. Boo also talks about his former career as a fast jet pilot with the Royal Australian Air Force. We also speak with managing editor of our sister publication, Australian Defence Business Review, Andrew McLaughlin, about current issues in local military aviation, including the F-35 program.

Christian “Boo” Boucousis was a fighter pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force for 10 years. He is now the CEO of Mode, an innovative property development group that is currently developing Australia’s tallest prefabricated hotel in the Perth CBD. Boo’s story is a real world example of how fighter pilots use the skills developed during their military careers to succeed in business. Diagnosed with a serious medical condition, Boo could no longer fly fighter aircraft and so he decided to take the plunge into business. Using the skills and knowledge he acquired in the Air Force, he co-founded a successful humanitarian support company in the Middle East growing it to over 1,500 staff. Boo then sold that business and moved back to Australia to focus on developing affordable building methods, which was the genesis of Mode. Boo attributes his success in business to the values and discipline he learned in the Air Force – focus, efficiency, continuous improvement and simplicity. And because of this experience, Boo fundamentally believes that the simple methodology used by fighter pilots (which Afterburner calls FLEX), can accelerate the performance of any business or organization.
