How are we doing? Send us a message and let us know what content had impact, and what content may have missed the mark, and why.I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People. Today we explore building resilience in ourselves and our teams. We are joined by Dawn Whyte, an air traffic controller and aviation career coach. She has spent the past three decades helping leaders in aviation and the broader business world to work on cultivating genuine connection in their teams, and she joins the show to talk about resilience.In this conversation we explore the link between vulnerability and resilience, what Dawn has learnt from her own journey, and how growing as a leader is a journey, not a destination. Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #7 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2023. Dawn’s Episode Links:1.
