Avalanche Adventures: Caroline's Path to Corporate Leadership

In this episode, I dive into the incredible story of Caroline Elliott - the only British woman to have qualified across all the disciplines of the French ski patrol rescue world: controlled bombing, weather forecasting, and avalanche dog handling. A graduate of the prestigious École Nationale de Ski et d’Alpinisme in Chamonix, Caroline went on to become the first British woman to join the French Fire and Rescue specialist mountain unit, trained to respond to some of the most dangerous missions imaginable, from gas explosions and building collapses to avalanches and missing persons.Now a Snow Safety Consultant, Educator, and author of the children’s book Fjord’s Mountain Mission, Caroline’s journey is one of breaking barriers, redefining resilience, and thriving in male-dominated, high-pressure environments.We explore:🎿 How a passion for skiing turned into a career at the cutting edge of avalanche rescue.🐾 The discipline, intuition, and trust it takes to work as a dog handler in life-or-death situations.💥 The transferable lessons from operating in crisis that apply to leadership, communication, and team resilience.💡 How Caroline now uses her experience to help organisations strengthen their culture, wellbeing, and performance.This conversation is packed with insight, adventure, and inspiration.So, whether you’re leading a team, chasing a new goal, or simply need a reminder that limits are often self-imposed, this one’s for you.Connect with Caroline on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-elliott-aabb8117/Find out more about:Speaking / Corporate: www.carolineelliott.meSnow Safety: www.fjordsar.comOr purchase Caroline's book: https://tinyurl.com/bde7d8s4
