In this solo episode, Nik shifts the focus from flying skills to life outside the cockpit. Too often, pilots struggle when asked to share something about themselves beyond aviation. Nik breaks down why that matters and how those personal stories can strengthen connections during meet-and-greets, interviews, and in the crew room. He walks through eight areas you can draw from—like community involvement, teamwork, hobbies, family, and continued learning—to help you show up as a well-rounded, authentic candidate. Whether you're preparing for an interview or just looking to grow as a leader, this episode reminds you that being an excellent pilot is only part of the story. Who you are outside of flying is just as important. What You'll Learn: Why recruiters and interviewers ask about life beyond aviation Eight non-aviation topics you can share with confidence How community involvement and volunteering show leadership Ways to highlight teamwork, hobbies, and unique interests How to talk about family, cultural awareness, and personal growth The importance of continued learning and curiosity How to practice and articulate your story so it feels authentic CONNECT WITH US Are you ready to take your preparation to the next level?

As AI continues to reshape everything from medicine to flight decks, the question isn't whether it's coming to your organization; it's whether leaders are ready for it. The future belongs to executives who can blend critical thinking with adaptive leadership, who can shed old assumptions and operate ahead of the curve. According to psychologist and organizational strategist Eric Olson, the most crucial skill for tomorrow's leaders is resilience rooted in clarity, connection, and courageous action. What's driving this leadership revolution isn't just digital disruption; it's cognitive disruption. Across industries, AI is exposing the limits of traditional thinking and highlighting the cost of bias, rigidity, and ego-driven leadership. In this high-stakes environment, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and mission-first thinking are no longer soft skills; they're survival tools. Eric Olson, PhD, is the founder of EMO Advisors and a trusted advisor to leaders at Microsoft, Hawaiian Airlines, Ford, and Spirit Airlines. In this episode, we unpack the emerging playbook for 21st-century leadership, from the cockpit to the boardroom. You'll hear how elite teams regulate for excellence, and what over 1,000 pilots revealed about what makes teams thrive under pressure. You'll also learn: Why past performance fails in AI-disrupted environments, and what to assess instead The surprising truth about pilot personalities How Microsoft is reengineering its executive ranks to lead in an AI-first world What the Norwegian Sovereign Fund did to eliminate bias and boost performance Why effective leaders must press pause during crises to regain clarity How self-regulation and cross-functional trust reduce catastrophic errors in high-stakes teams The hidden costs of amygdala-driven leadership, and how to train for resilience How Delta Airlines is using AI to extract more wallet share, and why that's just the beginning The “Olson Resilience Model” that Fortune 50 teams use to perform under pressure Guest Bio Eric Olson, PhD, is the founder of EMO Advisors. He develops leaders and management teams to improve business performance through a growth mindset. He builds resilience with senior teams using strategic planning offsites, culture change, innovation labs, team coaching, and other methods. Eric's client list includes Microsoft, Hawaiian Airlines, Ford, GitHub, IBM, The Coca-Cola Company, Disney, and Novartis, among many others. He works in the digital transformation space (Cloud + AI, mixed reality, engineering, UX, devices, etc.).

On this episode of Engage, hosts Capt. Laura Woods and F/O Ryan Argenta sit down with Capt. Tom Thornton from the Professional Standards Committee—a man who's been defusing cockpit conflicts since 1998. With over 17,000 pilots on property, ProStans fields a high volume of calls each week, tackling everything from CRM breakdowns to personality clashes in the flight deck. Tom pulls back the curtain on what really happens when pilots call in, how confidentiality works (hint: it's not anonymous), and why ProStans should be your first stop—not your last—when facing peer-to-peer conflict. From misunderstandings and fatigue-fueled frustration to inappropriate cockpit banter, Tom shares insights from decades of experience, explaining how ProStans aims to keep conflict resolution in the hands of pilots—not HR. Whether you're new to the Company or a seasoned captain, this episode is a must-listen for understanding how we keep our crews cohesive, professional, and focused on safety. If you need to speak to the Delta MEC Professional Standards Committee, please call 1- 855-778-2637.
In episode 142 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks to the co founder of Ficifolia Fragrances, Sophie Marcoux. Ficifolia Fragrances is only two and a half years old, in which time Sophie has launched 6 individual perfumes as well as the fragrance Flight Deck- a first-to-market offering that I consider one of the most a beautiful examples of thinking outside the box when it comes to converting customers, regardless of industry, that I've come across.I had some questions for Soph about brand building, as that's really the cornerstone of her professional background. She said that for her, it's about “creating a world that people want to return to.” I made note of that while she was speaking and it's stuck with me. That's what it's all about, isn't it? I think this was the perfect episode to start the season with because as much as we do talk about beauty and how that space lights us up, there's so many business nuggets in here- why your journey to starting a brand doesn't have to be linear, why the market circuit is so beneficial for startups, we talked a bit about the natural vs synthetic debate (which, as you can imagine, I have a lot of thoughts on)… just a really juicy but fun chat about a fragrance brand that I am personally obsessed with. In this conversation, Sophie the importance of bringing in someone objective to assist with making decisions that may be too close to your brand, how she's giving e-commerce customers a tactile entry point to the world of Ficifolia, and we both share some of our thoughts on beauty dupe culture.

Chain of Learning: Empowering Continuous Improvement Change Leaders
Is it possible to lead a real, long-term cultural transformation in a publicly traded company—where shareholders often demand short-term financial results?It's challenging, yet possible. And GE Aerospace, with CEO Larry Culp at the helm, is leading the way. I invited Phil Wickler, Chief Transformation Officer, back to discuss the enterprise-wide shift toward lean at GE Aerospace.We explore what it takes to build a lean management system across a global company of 50,000+ people and how GE Aerospace is embedding problem-solving thinking, leadership behavior, and capability building into every layer of the organization as the strategic approach to getting business results.Discover the difference between “doing” lean and “being” lean and what it takes to shift from operational leadership and “being the expert” to transformational influence and building capability across the organization.If you're an operational leader, internal lean practitioner, external consultant, or if you want to lead change at scale, don't miss this episode!YOU'LL LEARN:How to strengthen the positioning of internal change teams and continuous improvement efforts—with and without executive supportWhy real transformation starts with leadership behaviors—not tools—and the key mindset and behavior shifts needed for lasting impactHow GE Aerospace is overcoming GE's Six Sigma historic approach to improvement and leaders' long-standing misconceptions about lean The purpose and elements of GE Aerospace's proprietary FLIGHT DECK lean operating system and how it's aligning lean fundamentals and behaviors across the organizationWhy shifting the ROI conversation on capability-building (not just cost savings) is critical for long-term transformation successABOUT MY GUEST:Phil Wickler is a Chief Transformation Officer at GE Aerospace where he has enterprise responsibility for EHS, Quality, Lean Operations, Sustainability and Transformation.
