The World’s Best choose courage instead of fear. They feel the fear, but don’t let it keep them from doing what they want to, have to, or were designed to do. As Jimmy Johnson, the coach who led the Dallas Cowboys to two consecutive Super Bowls, once said, “Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great?”
This Week's Power Phrase: “I embrace my fear and choose courage.”
Quote of the Week: “Do the thing that you fear to do and keep on doing it…that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer your fear.” - Dale Carnegie (American author)
Flying an airplane is a challenging activity, even in clear skies and perfect weather…
Now imagine you are flying a plane in combat. The enemy on the ground is trying to kill you by shooting down your plane. All while you are trying to save the lives of YOUR TEAM on the ground who are under attack. That's exactly what Martha McSally did as an A-10 fighter pilot in the Air Force.
Martha's life has been spent overcoming things like fear, self-doubt, trauma, adversity, and obstacles.
After arriving at the U.S. Air Force Academy for basic training at 18, she was told that it was against the law for women to become fighter pilots.
So what did she do? She decided that’s exactly what she would do and became the first woman in U.S. history to fly a fighter jet in combat!
Plus, she later became the 1st woman in U.S. history to command a fighter squadron….which meant, in combat, she was the first one in and the last one out! She deployed 6 times to the Middle East and Afghanistan, flying 325 combat hours, earning the bronze star and six air metals.
After serving our country for 26 years in the Air Force and retiring as a full Colonel, Martha was elected to Congress. She served 2 terms in the U.S. House of Representative and was appointed to the U.S. Senate after Senator John McCain’s passing. As you can imagine, she has had a front row seat, and been an active participant, in shaping the world we live in… always in service to others.
Now, Martha continues to serve by sharing her hard-learned life and leadership lessons through keynote speaking, online courses, and beyond.
In this episode, Martha and Cindra talk about the:
The ways fear holds you back from your dreams
How you can “Drop the Drag”
How to intentionally shape your identity
And, she openly shares how she has worked through trauma in her own life to help us understand how we can work through ours.
