Sarah Furnace - Helicopter pilot

Sarah shared her experiences as a combat operational commander, helicopter pilot, mother and mindfulness practitioner has led her to develop her own unique Healthy Automatic Behaviours In Threatening Scenarios (HABITS) Formula - a way to train the mind to be a Jedi master under pressure and accomplish zen like levels of self-belief and inner calm.

Sarah spent 20 years as an RAF helicopter pilot. These are the most powerful lessons she learned:

- Intelligent capable people don't always feel as strong as they look

- Performance under pressure is NOT instinctive

- BUT humans have an amazing capacity to adapt, grow AND lead even in the toughest conditions.
