What's everyone up to? I feel like 2026 is already going in overdrive, and I'm grateful for everyone in this community who takes time to stop by and check in. If you described 2026 in one word - what would it be? Is it more professional or personnal, or both? Mine is: Intentional

What is March holding for everyone? What's one thing you have decided or can plan on pursuing to improve this month.

Take a moment to reflect on one (or more) of these questions: a) When you think of "leaders" in aviation, who comes to mind and why? What specific behaviors make them effective? b) Recall a flight or operational situation where leadership made the difference between a good outcome and a poor one. What did the leader do specifically? c) On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your current leadership abilities in - Building trust quickly with new crew members - Speaking up when you see safety concerns - Encouraging others to voice concerns - Managing conflicts constructively - Making decisions under pressure with team input d) What's one leadership behavior you want to develop through this series? Make sure to engage with at least one other member’s post — leadership grows in community! (This is self-reflection module #1 of the Essential Leadership mini-course)
