Chasing Challenges & Big Goals, Featuring Nadine A. Gilbert

Nadine A. Gilbert has never been a woman to play it safe.As a teenager in Montreal, she discovered women's water polo, became a goalie, and worked her way to the Canadian national women's team... where she won a bronze medal at the 2002 FINA World Cup!However, that was just the beginning! In addition to her experiences with water polo, Nadine earned her commercial pilot's license and became a professional pilot flying CRJs for the United Nations and Congo, and corporate jets across Europe. She's also driven a Zamboni, flown a helicopter, scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef, and lived in Kinshasa. When health challenges clipped her wings in her 40s, Nadine pivoted to earn her executive MBA and now blends her backgrounds in aviation, tech, and public speaking to empower others - especially women and neurodiverse professionals - to chart bold, purpose-driven paths.Nadine is also Director of Business Development for Zap Around, a smart travel companion with AI-powered recommendations!You can check out Zap Around here or on Instagram!Do you know an interesting midlife woman with a cool story to share on this podcast?
