E38 - Guests: Juliet Kennedy, Former Operations Director at National Air Traffic Services

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

I am delighted to be joined this week by Juliet Kennedy.  Juliet very recently completed more than 8 years as the Operations Director at National Air Traffic Services, the capstone of an entire 43 year career within the world of Air Traffic Control.

Juliet speaks very candidly about her love of a job that many would consider extraordinarily stressful but which she simply thrived on.  She is very clear that it is the outstanding people within the air traffic world that make it what it is, and she offers some fascinating perspectives on leadership and life in general.
