Now a seasoned frontline pilot Matt shares some of his most significant learning events including an incredible night-time emergency over hostile territory which earned him the same award [https://www.airpilots.org/what-we-do/trophies-and-awards/award-winners/the-masters-medal/] as Sully!  Finally Matt shares his thoughts on areas where the world of sport can learn from aviation particularly in terms of quality debriefing and creating psychological safety.

Learning Journeys Ep 21: What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

In this episode of the Learning Journeys Podcast, we jump into our next 'thinking out loud' episode where podcast host, Doug MacDonald shares his thoughts and reflections on a particular area, offering his experiences and knowledge, and most importantly thinking out loud.  In this episode, off the back of Doug's epic adventure on the Isle of Skye, we ask the question what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail or what’s worth doing even if you fail?  We consider what may lie behind our fear of trying something difficult or scary, the difference between risk and consequence, and how we might learn to embrace the vulnerability of failure rather than avoiding it.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
