For many of us, building resilience starts in our childhood. So it would make sense that our schools are places that help us learn those vital skills that will help us overcome and persevere later in life.

In this episode, Montessori ambassador, founder of upschool.co and a 25 year veteran of the education industry Gavin McCormack, discusses the changing face of education and the keys to helping children thrive both in and out of the classroom.

When an explosion rocked a seemingly routine flight between Singapore and Sydney on November 4 2020, the Captain of QF32 Richard De Crespigny leapt into action. Decades of knowledge and experience helped him make critical decisions under pressure to safely land the crippled Airbus A380, saving more than 400 passengers and crew from the unthinkable.

Now Richard is sharing his lessons in resilience, leadership, crisis management and more in the podcast series Fly.

When Ben Pettingill was just 16 years old, he lost 98% of his eyesight overnight thanks to a hereditary disease that had laid dormant up until that point. His resilience was quickly tested when Ben was forced to comprehend a new reality without his sight.

Not allowing his disability to get in the way of life, Ben has gone on to waterski, compete in Spartan obstacle course races, hike the famed Kokoda Track. When not at home with his wife and two daughters, Ben is travelling around the country speaking with children and companies, advocating for better mental health, and even hosting his own podcast.

In this raw and honest conversation, Ben opens up about the day he lost his sight, the drive to rebuild his life and finding his purpose in disability awareness and advocacy.

Ben Pettingill on Embracing Change & Thriving With A Disability

Crisis management is one of the elements of resilience. How a person or business handles a scandal or disaster can make or break their future. In the case of QF32, not one passenger spoke ill of Qantas, myself or the crew in the aftermath.  

In this episode, I speak with one of Australia's most respected and knowledgable crisis management and communication experts about getting the message right, how individuals and companies can plan for the worst, and why the CEO is not always the best person to front a crisis.
