Brief summary:

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Tony Cortés, a Director of Aviation Safety. Listen in as Tony and I discuss the personal drive that's pushed him through the many challenges in his life and career, and specifically a few points that he makes about fuel or a motivating force that finds you versus the other way around.
Key insights from this episode:

TC: (at 9:38) TC: When you make a big mistake and you hit bottom or you think you've hit bottom, that imperative need to focus on that immediate recovery instead of dwelling on the error is just fundamental.
(at 17:39) Dr. Cortes shared what he felt shifted internally when he needed to change his drive from one source to another.
LA: (at 22:36) Leila Ansart speaks to managing your own ability to recover when negative, and even horrific circumstances happen in your world. What it comes down to is focusing on what you can control. Certainly there's not a whole lot you feel you can control, [like] when you lose someone that you love, or in other types of situations, like a loss of a job, or loss of clients or loss of your health. At those times, we can admit that we can’t control what’s happening, but we can try to identify the lessons that are there to be learned. So shifting your focus to be open to learning any lessons that are there, and focus on that --because there are more than likely a few things there you CAN control.
(at 23:49) Tony and Leila discuss insights about leading across generations & cultures.
(at 26:47) Dr. Tony Cortes shares how one of his ‘fuel sources’ found him, rather than the other way around. He tells the story of the incident that caused him to steer his career away from the operational and towards the accident prevention world --a field he originally had no interest in whatsoever.
(at 33:37) Leila asks Dr. Tony how his own self-awareness of what drives him has been helpful to the teams he’s led. Tony discusses how leaders lead with asking questions vs. making statements, and how to be effective in sharing your drive and vision with others, including identifying your own errors in perspective.
