Podcast appearances and mentions of holly ridings

A conversation with Holly Ridings, an Amarillo native and the Director of the Exploration Operations Office at NASA. Prior to that relatively new position, her career includes becoming the first woman to serve as NASA's Chief Flight Director in 2018. In this episode, Ridings shares with host Jason Boyett about her path from Tascosa High School to Mission Control. From leading teams supporting the International Space Station to the ongoing Artemis program—with sights set on Mars—Ridings credits the grounding of her Amarillo upbringing and education with her pursuit of the stars. This episode is supported by SKP Creative on behalf of The Amarillo Tribune. 

Holly Ridings, the first female chief of NASA's flight directors, will now help lead the agency's Gateway Program, an international partnership to establish humanity's first space station around the Moon. In this new role, Ridings will serve as the deputy program manager. She will lead teams to build and launch NASA's foundational infrastructure in deep space. Federal News Network's Eric White spoke with Ridings about what that entails.

Holly Ridings is the Chief Flight Director at NASA, an institution that's spent more than six decades thinking about how culture connects to outcomes. In this episode of "Banking Culture Reform: Norms, Mindsets, and Decision-Making," she talks about putting safety and mission first, the importance of having humility to learn from past mistakes, and how NASA's culture helps directors of human space flight develop their command presence and remain laser-focused.

Leaders can't surpass the achievements of the past by sticking to the ways of the past. They must continuously challenge the status quo to inspire teams to break new ground and achieve new possibilities. Few organizations embody this approach to leadership as well as NASA. In this episode, Host Gautam Mukunda speaks with NASA's Chief Flight Director, Holly Ridings about how to build a diverse culture of collaboration, innovation, and disruption. She also discusses how to lead through insurmountable challenges and inspire teams to reach new heights. Holly was the lead flight director for Expedition 16 and SpaceX Dragon. In her current role, she is responsible for the safety and success of human spaceflight at NASA. “I'm always pushing the envelope because in my opinion, as leaders of human spaceflight we have to disrupt ourselves in order to stay ahead and be relevant in terms of leadership. If we are not disrupting ourselves then how do we lead the industry through all of the transitions and changes?” — Holly Ridings Follow @GMukunda on Twitter or email us at WorldReimagined@nasdaq.com   Literature Referenced: The Right Stuff, by Tom Wolfe Columbia Accident Investigation Report   For more information on this episode's guests please visit: www.nasdaq.com/world-reimagined-podcast

In this episode - the second of a two-part special on NASA and the critical teams that drive Mission Control and the International Space Station - we take it to another level by talking about the leadership of out of this world teams. Join Holly Ridings (Chief Flight Operator at NASA) and Preston Cline (Founder of the Mission Critical Teams Institute) as we dig into how anyone can help build their team up to this standard of vulnerability simply by asking for it, as well as other responsibilities of leader when you're asking for elite performance under extreme duress. 

As the Chief Flight Director at NASA, Holly Ridings knows a thing or two about managing big moments. Not only has she overseen rocket launches & missions to both the International Space Station and the moon, she has piloted her own career to heights no-one had done before when she became the first female ever installed in her position. She's joined here by Dr Preston Cline - an international expert on the psychology of Mission Critical Teams as diverse as the FBI, surgical teams and NASA - for a chat about the methods, mindsets and motivations of those who do things that are literally out-of-this-world.

Today's guest is the most exceptional woman you've never heard of. As NASA's first female chief flight director, Holly Ridings is responsible for all of the agency's spaceflight operations - a job they certainly don't teach you at school. She tells Claire Cohen how she stays calm when other people's lives are in her hands, why she uses visualisation techniques to combat imposter syndrome and whether she ever wishes she was in the capsule being propelled into space.Get 30 days' free access to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/imposters |Read more from Claire Cohen: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/c/ck-co/claire-cohen/ |See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

NASA Chief Flight Director Holly Ridings' talk with Dr. Preston Cline Holly Ridings was selected by NASA in 2018 as the first female chief flight director. Holly hails from Amarillo, Texas, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University. She joined NASA in 1998 as a flight controller in the thermal operations group. She was first selected as a flight director in 2005. Since then, she has served as the lead flight director for several missions including International Space Station mission Expedition 16 in 2007-2008.

Holly Ridings is the first woman to be Nasa's chief flight director and is in charge of the Artemis programme - named after Apollo's twin sister - which will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. She tells us about the challenges involved with space travel and what makes a good astronaut. More and more of us are living longer - so how can we do it better? Consultant Geriatrician Dr Lucy Pollock, CEO of the Centre for Ageing Better Anna Dixon, and Dr Niharika Duggal from the University of Birmingham explain how to approach independence, exercise, and even driving as we get older. As The Archers celebrates 70 years, we look at how farming - the backdrop of the radio drama - has changed for women since it's been on air. Felicity Finch, who plays Ruth Archer, meets Mary Quicke - one of the real life inspirations behind the storylines. What makes the night sky so magical? We speak to Karine Polwart, a folk singer whose new work takes inspiration from the stars she watched as a child. And, of course, we say goodbye to Jane Garvey who leaves Woman's Hour after 13 years. The journalist Elizabeth Day quizzes Jane, and we listen back to some of her funniest moments. Presenter: Melanie Abbott Producer: Rosie Stopher Editor: Sarah Crawley

Holly Ridings is the first woman to be NASA's chief flight director. She was appointed in 2018 and is responsible for missions to the International Space Station, the Orion spacecraft and commercial spacecraft. She is also in charge of the Artemis programme - named after Apollo's twin sister - which will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before and potentially lead to further missions to Mars. She is responsible for 32 flight directors who are overseeing human spaceflight at the Mission Control Center at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. How do you know if you’re fit enough psychologically to go into space? What do you need to do to survive in such close quarters with other people? When it comes to Mars, the focus is often on how to get there: the rockets, the engines, the fuel. But upon arrival, what will it actually be like? Jane speaks to Kate Greene author of “Once Upon a Time I Lived On Mars” and to Dr Iya Whiteley, Director of the Centre for Space Medicine at Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London. What are the jobs for women in space? Vinita Marwaha Madill is founder of Rocket Women which aims to inspire women around the world and provide advice on working in the space and technology industries. And finally, what is the cultural significance of space and the moon to us? It is the site of so much folklore, myth and legends and has spawned countless books, films and songs. Looking up at the stars is a trope of romance – but it also a reminder of how small and insignificant our own lives are – seen against the life of the cosmos. For that reason many ask – should we even be going to the moon or Mars? Jane discusses this with the folksinger Karine Polwart who is writing a new theatre piece called “The Only Light Was Stars” and Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun-Stépanian who is a driector, member of the SETi Institute, Vice-Chair of The Committee for the Cultural Utilisation of Space and director and founder of the International Space Orchestra in NASA.
