Important Skills Pilots Acquire From Flying

Important Skills Pilots Acquire From FlyingImportant Skills Pilots Acquire From FlyingA certain set of skills is required to become a pilot, a few of which are technical but many are applicable to various parts of your non-pilot lives. A survey done by Brown Aviation Lease determined that pilots come away from flight training with five skills. Core Professional Pilot Skills No matter what type of pilot you become, you will generally need a core set of skills to succeed in this career. Here are four types you will need to develop to get ahead 1. Confidence Your ability to take action and make decisions with assuredness because you are certain that you can handle the consequences of your actions. You are sure of yourself backed by your training and practiced decision making. 2. Multi-Tasking You can simultaneously and effectively manage and take action on multiple priorities and projects at once. 3. Time Management You have the ability to manage complex tasks and deadlines within given parameters of time that are critical to mission accomplishment. 4. Problem Solving You have the ability to solve complex problems that might prove challenging to another partie. Your problem solving involves an ability to simultaneously consider a variety of options and variables to come up with a speedy solution 5. Adaptability You are able to swiftly take into consideration a variety of changing circumstances and change your behavior or actions quickly to take advantage of the differing opportunities. Application of Pilot Skills to Different Careers You can apply these skills valued by pilots to almost all careers. Heres how. Ability to Make a Decision and Make It Quickly Why this is an important skill for pilots Most people, given enough information, can make a sound decision that results in a positive outcome. But when flying an airplane, time and resource constraints, as well as other stress-adding factors like scared passengers or turbulence, can make decision-ma king a bit mora challenging. How you can apply this skill to your career Most jobs dont have life-threatening outcomes possible from everyday decisions, but you also need to make decisions quickly and correctly. For instance, you dont have time to research proper techniques for calming a person down when a client is screaming at you right now. In other situations, you may have time to research and make decisions but this process can lead to analysis paralysis. Once you have enough information to proceed, you can proceed confidently. Remember, its rare that only one right way exists to take action. When to Adapt to Rules and When to Break Them Why this is an important skill for pilots Pilots have a strict set of rules to follow from regulating bodies and various other sources. The federal aviation regulations, for example, set the basic operating rules for flying within the nations airspace. Following these rules is paramount to keeping everyone alive. And there are other rules, too, like the rules that the airplane manufacturer publishes in the aircraft manual, which are often suggestions that, if not followed, could kill. And a pilot flying or working for a company will also be subject to following specific company policies and procedures. These rules are all meant to keep people safe and alive, but, at times, breaking the rules is the safer optionlike busting an ATC clearance or company protocol because an urgent situation compels you to do so. Pilots know that following the rules is ideal, but breaking them is sometimes the better option. How you can apply this skill to your career Rules and regulations exist in any industry and serious consequences can occur (though not often deadly) for not following through. Sometimes, though, doing the right thing can mean breaking a rule. Examples for When to Break the Rules Example 1You may have a rule that customers are never allowed behind the counter, but if an employee collapses behind the counter, you would a bsolutely want to let a nurse who was shopping come behind the counter to help.Example 2Bereavement leave may be limited to three days, but if an employees mother dies halfway around the world, you would find a way to ensure that she can attend the funeral. Ability to Think Analytically and Creatively Why this is an important skill for pilots A pilot cant be just a numbers person or just a creative person to be a good pilot. Its not left-brain or right-brain. Flying requires critical thinking in both realms. Pilots have to know the numbers for the airplane. They have to know the procedures and the checklists. But they also have to know how to use them appropriately, when to deviate from them, and how to think through a problem thats not on a checklist, which is where the creativity part comes in. Both skill sets come into play equally when flying. How you can apply this skill to your career While you can always hire a person to balance out the creative and the analytical, havin g a basic understanding of both realms is helpful. If youre the creative person negotiating with a client, you need to understand the numbers or youre at risk of selling yourself short. Likewise, if youre the financial person and you cant recognize good creative work, you may make errors on that side. Ability to Trust Something Other Than Yourself Why this is an important skill for pilots Most people want to be in control. People are happiest when theyre in control of a situation. Its the same for pilots. A pilot at the controls knows what the airplane is doing, knows how hell react, and is content being in control of this machine. But he also needs to trust the Air Traffic Controllers and the instruments- when flying with no visual references- in the clouds, for example- a pilots ears and eyes can play tricks on their brain, often telling them that the aircraft is in straight and level flight when its actually in a steep spiraling descent. Pilots have to observe and interpret t he instruments in this situation instead of their own gut instinct. They have to fight against their gut reaction and instead rely on feedback from the airplane and its instruments to make proper decisions. How you can apply this skill to your career As human beings, you are taught to trust your own body, brain, and your gut to tell you when things arent happening as they should. And usually, youre right. But sometimes the numbers disagree with your gut or your manager says this isnt the correct path. You need to understand when your manager has the bigger picture and how the numbers come together and follow them. It can be difficult but it can save you from disaster. Ability to See Details and the Big Picture Why this is an important skill for pilots Performing a preflight inspection on an aircraft is a good example of this. Pilots use (or should use) both a big-picture and a detail-oriented view when inspecting an airplane for flight, and with all factors involved in flying. W hen first walking up to an airplane, the pilot should make sure that things look normal overall, that the airplane looks like its in good shape, is free of icing and the pilot needs to take a visual inventory of the surroundings. That is the detail-oriented part. Then while flying, of course, the pilot needs to see how the entire plane, the flight plan, and the information from air traffic control go together to pilot the flight to a successful conclusion. How you can apply this skill to your career Checklists arent just for beginners. In fact, surgeons use them to save lives. You can use them to ensure you dont miss any important steps in your projects. A completed checklist allows you to sit back and view the big picture in confidence. They work together to ensure good results. Pilots Have Skills That Apply to Your Career These five skills are just a handful of skills that pilots develop. They happen to be useful skills that cross over into other portions of your lives. What skill s do you think pilots have that are useful in other aspects of your life?

Why too much happiness is bad for you (and your kids)

Why too much happiness is bad for you (and your kids)Why too much happiness is bad for you (and your kids)Ian Robertsonis a clinical psychologist, leading international researcher, and celebrated author. His latest book,The Stress Test How Pressure Can Make You Stronger and Sharper, is an eye-opening study of why we react to pressure in the way we do and how to be energized rather than defeated by stress. He recently joinedRyan Hawk, host of The Learning Leader Show, to discuss how to cultivate winning mindplatzplatzdeckchens in a stressed-out culture.This conversation has been edited and condensed. To listen to Ian and Ryans full conversation,click here.RyanYou have studied people who are winners, why they win, and the neuroscience of success and failure. When you look at the people who have sustained excellence, what are some of the common characteristics they all share?IanThe most important one is the ability to set goals for yourself that challenge you, but are neither too big, n or too difficult, nor too easy. When you achieve that goal, thats a success experience. From my research, I know that theres something called The Winner Effect, which applies across all species, which means that if you win a competition- having success and achieving a goal- youre mora likely to win a subsequent competition, to achieve success the next time. The bottom line is, success breeds success. Thats a biological fact in nature.One of the best ways of achieving success is by having very clear and specific goals for yourself and achieving them. The partner of that is a certain degree of self-belief and self-confidence to actually go for goals, but actually, that confidence follows on from achieving goals. The critical thing is setting goals and achieving them.The bottom line is, success breeds success.RyanIn your book, you say Mike Tyson, for example, would fight weaker opponents on his return from jail to build his confidence. Can you share other ways that we can implement suc cess breeding success into our lives?IanIt wasnt just Mike Tyson. The US boxing world has known about this phenomenon of trying to get your would-be champ to have a few matches against the so-called tomato cans- opponents who theyre destined to beat because theyre either older, weaker, or just leid as good. The mere act of winning a contest actually makes it mora likely youll win a subsequent one.Winning actually changes your brain a little bit, increasing the receptors in your brain for critical hormones linked to, first, motivation, and secondly, aggression. In a contest, you generate the hormone testosterone to prepare and that has a bigger effect on your brain because there are more receiving stations for it. Thats the likely biological mechanism for the winner effect.In our own daily lives, its important to realize the difference between extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is where you want to be number one, always on top. The problem with that i s theres always going to be someone better than you, so youre never going to be guaranteed to have the winner effect. Whereas, if you set your own goal, vis-a-vis, your own standards and your own aims, thats a more guaranteed way of getting that biological boost of success that comes from the winner effect. Winning against your own standards is a more stable way of building the brain circuits associated with success.Winning actually changes your brain a little bit, increasing the receptors in your brain for critical hormones linked to, first, motivation, and secondly, aggression.RyanWhat if you contrast this with people like Elon Musk or Steve Jobs who set behauptung moonshot goals, where they would set these insane dates to have a rocket, or an electric car, or an iPhone ready. If you look at their work versus your research, there seems to be a conflict there. What are your thoughts on that?IanFor every Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, there are a thousand people that should have set moon shot goals for themselves and havent and been frustrated and disappointed with life. Both of them in their way were geniuses with a vision but most of us are not geniuses. Thats the challenge.Generally in life, the problem is not getting what you want, its knowing what you want. If youre driven by a real passion or vision for something, that is an incredibly motivating, life-enhancing thing to have. Both Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, had overarching visions, things that give them that sense of excitement. Thats a treasure that anyone who manages to find it in life should really cherish and nurture. But then thats never enough. You need to find your Wozniak colleague and you need to set goals to produce something by a certain time.Generally in life, the problem is not getting what you want, its knowing what you want.RyanYou also discuss the children of ultra successful people. How do we develop resilience in our children despite the fact that perhaps were able to provide financially ever ything they could even want and need? You talked about how Picasso did such a terrible job of this and how Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are working to not let this happen to their kids.IanSuccess conveys power. Particularly, financial success gives you a sense of power. Power changes your brain physically and changes the way you think and feel. One of the things it does, in extreme forms, is foster narcissism. Great success creates this hunger in people to believe that it is something God-given, something so special in them that has made them successful. They want to feel utterly unique.Success is not necessarily the reward of virtue. There is so much randomness and also other factors like sheer hard work, persisting through failure. Picasso succumbed to that kind of narcissism, which then had a damaging effect on his children. His staff referred to him as the Son and he called himself Le Roi the King. To his poor son, Paulo, he represented an unattainable goal. He could never set goals for himself because in comparison to this deity that he constantly interacted with, everything he did seemed earthbound and useless.I call this phenomenon that very successful people have narcissistic self-preoccupation and credible smugness about their success, hiding the ladder. They hide the ladder of mundane chance, randomness in business, persistence through failure- all of these things which are inevitably a part of success.That can hugely demotivate the children of successful people. Bill Gates has recognized this- he didnt leave his children to expect a huge amount of money. Now, it was big by ordinary people standards but compared to his fortune, it was very small. Warren Buffet has maintained a very modest lifestyle. These very successful people have to be careful that they keep a visible ladder down for their children, so the children dont feel like they can never aspire to the level of success of their parents.RyanYou also write about a study of students who, when they believe they can influence their IQ, did better in school than those who thought their IQ was static and fixed. This goes hand in hand with Carol Dwecks work in the book Mindset- having a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset.IanCarol Dwecks work has showed that the theories we hold about what the origins of our own abilities or our own personality or our own emotional competence affect the extent to which we believe we can control them. Telling a child theyre really bright or theyre really clever implicitly gives them a fixed mindset about their intelligence. That it becomes something they have rather than something they do. Theyre much less likely to persist through if they hold a fixed mindset.Why? Because failure becomes a threat to their ego because they have this notion that they have been endowed with brightness in the way that the magnate feel endowed with success. Then, any evidence of lack of success or cleverness becomes a threat to their ego.The theories we hold abo ut what the origins of our own abilities or our own personality or our own emotional competence affect the extent to which we believe we can control them.RyanI think it behooves parents to have that open dialogue with children, to explain and to have conversations about why your children do well or do not do well when it comes to school. Its so important to explain why somebody is being successful versus just stating the fact that theyre really smart.Id like to transition to some of your most recent work on stress and your latest book, The Stress Test How Pressure and wertzuwachs Can Make You Stronger and Sharper. How can stress make us smarter?IanPart of mastering your mind is dealing with the bodily response to being tested in a situation, performing where there is a possibility of success or failure. The autonomic nervous system generates the fight or flight response in the body. The sympathetic autonomic nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, increases heart rate, makes the skin slightly more sweaty. The reason it does this is to prepare to cool the body in case for either fighting or running away.It takes blood supply away from the internal organs so thats why your stomach gets a little bit tight because it doesnt want to waste energy in digesting and wants to make sure theres a maximum amount of energy given to the muscles. It takes away blood supply from your skin, which is why you might go a bit pale. It makes your breathing faster to oxygenate your blood to prepare for fight or flight. It generates certain chemical hormones, particularly cortisol, which is a hormone that temporarily improve mental and physical functioning. Another one called norepinephrine changes what your brain is paying attention to and in certain dosages makes different parts of your brain communicate with each other better. Thats the whole fight or flight system that is activated in any situation where we feel challenged or threatened.Take the example of the norepinephrin e system- like many of the brains chemical messengers, it has an inverted U-shaped function. That is, too little and our brain underperforms and too much in our brain causes it to underperform. There is a sweet spot in the middle with optimal brain performance and a moderate amount of stress. We can perform better under moderate stress because the activation of the fight or flight system actually pushes our brain up into a state where it pays better attention, thinks faster and remembers better.Stress is defined as where we feel that the demands made upon us exceed our ability to cope with these demands. That gap between what we think we can do and whats been expected of us depends on our perceptions and in the context. In thinking about frightening situations, its possible to change them from threat into challenge. If we do that, we can actually control to some extent where we are on that upside down inverted U-shaped function of norepinephrine. We can actually control our brain ch emistry by the way we think about situations to produce better performance.Part of mastering your mind is dealing with the bodily response to being tested in a situation, performing where there is a possibility of success or failure.RyanLets say you have a big presentation or a speech, and youll say something like, Im really nervous or anxious. If you say that to yourself, youre going to perform much worse than if you say, I am really excited about this opportunity to get up on stage and give a speech. Talk to me about the science behind saying that to yourself.IanThe bodily symptoms of excitement are exactly the same as the bodily symptoms of anxiety. How then do we know which emotion were experiencing? We only know which emotion were experiencing by context. Its only because Ive opened the lottery-winning email and seen that Ive won $10,000 that my mind says, This beating heart and dry mouth must be excitement, not anxiety. Thats an example of the context creating the emotion.One way of us creating our own context is exactly how you described. If youre waiting to have a big presentation and you say to yourself, I feel anxious, youre creating a context thats interpreting these symptoms as anxiety, which is more likely to tip you over the sweet spot into the far side of the norepinephrine curve where your brain wont function as well. If you say to yourself, I feel excited, then your mind is interpreting that same set of symptoms as something positive. When you do that, you push your brain into that sweet spot because youre adopting whats called a challenge mindset.Our brains and our bodies react in fundamentally different ways to these two different mindsets. If youre waiting for that big challenging presentation, if you say to yourself, I feel calm, thats not going to work with the brain. Why? Because you have none of the symptoms of feeling calm- slow heartbeat, dry skin, stomach feels quite normal. Its much less easy to trick the brain into interpreting th ese symptoms as ones of calmness because the heart is pumping and youre breathing fast and your skin is sweaty.We can actually control our brain chemistry by the way we think about situations to produce better performance.Whereas, excitement and anxiety are very, very close to each other, so its easier to trick the brain into interpreting them as excitement rather than anxiety. If you do that, youre going to get better, because youre nearer the sweet spot of norepinephrine activation in your brain.RyanHow about happiness. Can too much of it be bad for you?IanYes. Thats why overprotecting our children is not a good idea. If a child or adolescent has had little or no adversity in their lives, they will end up more emotionally vulnerable as a young adult. Why is that? Well, is because theyve never had the experience of dealing with failure, with anxiety, with feeling low, with having to deal with a tough situation maybe where people are not being very nice to them. You have this rather precious ego that has seldom known the downside of failure, of feeling the ego bruised or feeling anxious. You cannot go through life never experiencing these emotions because life is just not like that.If youve had very little experience of these feelings of anxiety, they can really feel alien and terrifying. Whereas, children and adolescents who have had not severe but moderate levels of adversity, they have learned that sometimes you fail, sometimes youre excluded, sometimes you feel anxious. but because theyve experienced this emotions in the past, they know from past experience that they dont last. You dont feel anxious forever. You dont feel depressed forever. These things pass. There is a resilience. Its a bit like being vaccinated against measles. You have a little bit of the disease injected into you in order to boost your immune systems, so when the disease comes big time, youve got a defense against it. Well, inoculation works that way to deal with stress.You dont feel a nxious forever. You dont feel depressed forever. These things pass. There is a resilience.Even more interestingly, if you have adults who suffer back pain, for example, the ones who have a very little experience of adversity in their lives are much more likely to be disabled and on severe pain killing medication than people with the same amount of back pain, who have suffered moderate levels of adversity in their lives. Finally, people in their 70s who have experienced moderate levels of adversity maintain their cognitive functions at higher levels than those who have no adversity. Thats because challenging, stressful situations can actually push your brain up to that sweet spot of functioning. Moderate degrees of adversity and stress can generate positive effects, not just cognitively but also emotionally.This article first appeared on Heleo.

5 Things You Need to Know About Creating Awesome eNewsletters

5 Things You Need to Know About Creating Awesome eNewsletters eNewsletters are powerful marketing and communication tools for several reasons. They can drive sales and leads, lead to a larger social media audience, increase traffic to your website, and serve as great places to repurpose content. They are crucial for maintaining an engaged audience, but you can lose a lot of people if you drop the ball.A survey of 277 hiring professionals conducted during May and June of 2016 by Recruiter.com and my company, Come Recommended, found that eNewsletters are among HR and recruiting pros favorite content formats.So, what makes a successful eNewsletter?There are five crucial bestandteils1. Focused ThemesA bad eNewsletter is scattered and unfocused. If readers open your newsletter and see 10 different unrelated messages, they will be turned off. Instead, you should stay focused on one theme. You should have a very clear, straightforward goal in mind.Lets say y ou have a new wertzuwachs tracking feature you want to demo for hiring professionals. The content in your newsletter should be related, so make sure everything you share via the newsletter aligns with performance tracking. For example, you could share content that explores the challenges that companies face when it comes to annual performance evaluations.2. Balanced Content and DesignContent needs to be concise and to the point. Our survey found that 22.5 percent of HR professionals prefer content that is about 390 words long and takes approximately three minutes to read.Your subscribers dont want to open an email and see a Dickens novel. Large blocks of text head straight to the trash bin.Adopt a clean, minimalist design. There should be plenty of open space and the content should be organized into sections with small blocks of text. The readers eyes should comfortably follow the flow and feel of your eNewsletter.Regarding the content, you need to find a balance between educational and promotional. Most of the content you produce and share through eNewsletters should be educational. Readers want your expert advice on employer branding more than they want your sales pitch.Thats not to say you shouldnt try to promote your products or services. Keep promotional content to around 10 percent of the newsletter. When every newsletter has some form of sales content, you may come off as spammythe only click youll get will be on the unsubscribe button.3. Strong Subject LineHow are you attracting readers to your content? Our survey found that your headline is the most influential element in getting readers to your page.Your subject line is just like your headline your make-or-break point with the subscriber. It can be tough to stand out in your readers overflowing inboxes.You cant stick with the same exact subject line over and over again. What does your subjectsay that influences readers to open the newsletter? What incentives are presented? Why should they open it ri ght now?eNewsletters are all about clicks and getting more people to your site. You cant drive traffic if your subscribers arent reading your emails.Make your subject line undeniably compelling. Address a common problem like soaring turnover rates and demonstrate thatthe eNewsletter contains expert insights into solving the problem.Keep your subject line short and sweet. Tell readers what is contained in your message and use action-oriented words just as you would with a call to action.4. Clear Call to ActionA common mistake many organizations make is trying to get their audiences to perform multiple actions with one eNewsletter. If your readersare overwhelmed bymultiplebuttons begging for their engagement, they simply wont do anything. Youre diminishing the value of each call to action if you put five in one message.Leadreaders to one main thing you want them to do e.g., explore your new video interviewing features, share your article to social media, or forward an infographic t o a friend. Make your calls to action simple and clear, anddont forcethemto compete with one another.Consider including interactive content, like quizzes, contests, and games to help your audience retain your brand messaging. According to researchfrom the Content Marketing Institute,79 percent of content marketers agree that interactive content enhances retention of brand messaging when combined with traditional marketing tactics.Furthermore, 81 percent of content marketers agree that interactive content grabs attention more effectively than static content. When you have your readersattention, you can build a relationship with them thats founded on trust and respect.5. Established CredibilityStick to your word. On your subscribe page, platzset clear expectations, and then follow through on your promises.If youre promising a weekly eNewsletter, give peoplea weekly eNewsletter. If youre offering access to a free eBook on talent mobility programs, deliver that product.Be detailed and s pecific about why people should subscribe, what they can expect from you, how often they will get it, and how they can opt out. If you bury the opt-out options and make it hard for readers to unsubscribe, you may end up in the spam folder. Successful eNewsletters belong in front of your audiences eyes, not in the trash can.What makes your eNewsletter successful?Heather R.
