Today's SWAPA Number is 11. That's the number of pilots we've lost to suicide since 2019. And while that's not an easy thing to say out loud, ignoring it won't make the number smaller. Mental health just isn't at the forefront of the greater national healthcare conversation. It's an ongoing discussion in the aviation community as well.So today we're sitting down with Project LIFT chair, Captain Ty Dimeff. LIFT, which stands for Life Incident Family Team, provides peer-to-peer support for SWAPA pilots and their families. There's a lot to cover when it comes to mental health and wellness and unfortunately there's several stigmas surrounding it. Let's hear from Ty on how to break those stigmas down and discuss ways to stay mentally fit to fly.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at comm@swapa.org or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737

Michael West is Professor in organisational effectiveness and innovation, Lancaster University and Visiting Fellow to the King's Fund, the NHS Think Tank. He is a former Executive Dean of Aston Business School. This is Chris Whitehead's second interview with Michael. If you want some background, please listen to episode 13 of the Compassionate Leadership Interview. In this present episode we are going to focus on Michael's lockdown project, the book Compassionate Leadership: Sustaining Wisdom, Humanity and Presence in Health and Social Care. Michael's interest in compassion stems from his meditation practice, which has brought him into contact with world religions for which compassion is fundamental. At the same time, his research and consultancy work on leadership and culture, in industry and the NHS, highlighted the importance of positivity and relationships in teams and organisations to effectiveness, creativity, and innovation. The pandemic created a space for Michael in which he could bring together research evidence, case studies, and practical approaches to compassionate leadership. The book was supported by Health Education and Improvement Wales, which has a 10-year strategy to implement compassionate leadership. Organisational culture is a recurring theme in the book. Michael characterises a culture of compassion as one in which people are present with each other, there's a strong emphasis on relationships, and there is a strong ethic of caring and support for people who are experiencing challenge or difficulty. Michael believes there has been a “sea change” over the past two years in the leadership approach adopted by the NHS. And this applies to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in particular. In England compassionate leadership is part of the NHS People Plan, but practice is less consistent. Coaching and mentoring receive numerous mentions in Michael's book. Coaching and mentoring are about being present, attending to the other, listening with fascination, helping them to articulate their thoughts, explore challenges, and be comfortable with ambiguity. Therefore coaching and mentoring formalise some of the behaviours of compassionate leadership. In the book Michael says “experiencing compassion for others shapes individuals' appraisals about themselves.” He believes when we experience an interaction with another who is truly present with us, it enables us to be more present with ourselves. He says “it's a myth that performance cannot be managed with compassion.” Michael believes that compassionate leadership actually enables a stronger emphasis on performance, because out of compassion comes a motivation for delivering high quality continually improving care. And it gives us the skills we need to listen to people and understand what is at the root of unsatisfactory performance. Michael's previous book was entitled ‘Effective Teamwork' and this latest book is informed in part by that one. He uses the expression ‘real teams' to refer to teams that have a clear purpose, shared goals, and take time out to reflect on their effectiveness. Michael believes that compassionate leadership can help avoid scandals such as Mid Staffs, Bristol, and Alder Hey. The research he and colleagues conducted following Mid Staffs, revealed that in the Trusts that were less effective, senior leaders tended to be focused on managing upwards and ‘comfort eeking' in their discussions with staff. In the highest performing organisations, leaders were focused on their vision for the Trust, and intent on ‘problem sensing' in their staff interactions. Michael contends that compassionate leadership is one of the keys to innovation, because it creates a psychologically safe environment, and that in turn enables the risk taking associated with innovation. This year NHS Wales published their Compassionate Leadership Principles which they co-created with Michael. NHS Scotland has a programme called Project Lift...

We get straight to business in Episode 18 of Uncharted Performance. We are once again joined by Drew Dillon (Episode 7) and Chelsea Kyle (Episode 8) of Project Lift for a complete walkthrough of the Olympic lifts: the snatch and the clean and jerk. We break down each lift and cover the points of performance for the positions involved in both from the set-up to the catch and recovery. Drew and Chelsea will also provide us with insights on a number of possible faults as well as corrections. In addition to the actual lifts we discuss the importance of coaching each athlete individually, the benefits of a proper and dynamic warm-up, developing habits when performing the lifts, understanding angles, and the value of breathing and bracing in every lift. You'll be exposed to a fresh and open-minded approach to coaching and performing the Olympic lifts. PR time, baby!
Episode 8 of Uncharted Performance brings you Chelsea Kyle, who is not only an elite female weightlifter but is also a fantastic coach at Project Lift. We discuss topics ranging from the leadership philosophy she follows (shout out to Simon Sinek), the value of patience, and to the way she tailors her coaching style to fit male and female athletes. Chelsea brings an extremely positive attitude, tons of energy and irreplaceable personal experience in discussing her injuries, recovery process, breaking bad habits, and coaching athletes through the struggles of being weightlifters. Make the right decision and listen to the "Overlord" :)
Are you ready to step outside the established dogma and become a better athlete, coach, and person? For Episode 7 of Uncharted Performance we are joined by one of the top Olympic Weightlifting coaches in the country, Drew Dillon, co-founder of both Project Lift and the Weightlifting League. Drew provides us with a refreshing look on how to become a better coach and how Olympic Weightlifting can be a great tool to prepare an individual for life outside the confines of a gym. We discuss the importance of continued development as both coach and athlete, letting go of what you know or think is right, being comfortable to ask why, fixing root causes versus addressing symptoms, building self-belief, breaking mental barriers, and being inspired by the unlikeliest of experiences. Strap in and enjoy the show!
