  Keynote address: An Officer, not a gentleman – leading from the front line

  As the second woman to fly a Tornado GR4 on the front line, Mandy Hickson pioneered the movement of women in the Royal Air Force. Throughout 45 missions and 3 duty tours, her remarkable career is a testament of her strong mental resilience, bravery, and powerful attitude. Drawing on her experience of calculated risk-taking, decision-making under pressure, and the critical role of humans, Mandy’s vivid leadership story demonstrates the importance of leading, quite literally, from the front to get the best from yourself and your team.

  Mandy Hickson

  Former RAF Fast-jet Pilot
  

  Finding a love of flying early in life, Mandy fought hard to achieve her ambition to be a Royal Air Force pilot. She was only the second woman to fly the Tornado GR4 on the front line, amassing over thirty years’ experience within aviation, culminated in her leading an entirely male Front Line Tornado Squadron on operations. 

  Mandy talks with great humour and passion, sharing insights with some of the most successful organisations across the world, and describing the strategies and behaviours that can be adopted when the stakes are at their highest. She has a wealth of experience to share from working in a male-dominated environment, from battling imposter syndrome to juggling life as a working mother of two young children. Drawing on her experience of calculated risk-taking, decision-making under pressure and the critical role that humans play, she transfers vivid lessons from the cockpit to other management and leadership contexts. 

  Since leaving the RAF, Mandy has continued her support for the services in the Volunteer Reserve, flying on the Air Experience Flight for many years, passing on her experience and enjoyment of flying to Air Cadets. She is currently Aviation Ambassador for the Department of Transport and recently launched her bestselling book, ‘An Officer. Not a gentleman’, the story of her inspirational journey to become a pioneering female fighter pilot.

  Achieving growth and exposure in a hybrid working environment

  This session tackles the paradox of flexibility and exposure in this new working environment. As organizations are returning to the office in some capacity, many are also offering more work from home options. With that flexibility, some may be wondering if there are trade-offs to choosing more flexible work opportunities. 

  • How are those that take advantage of working from home missing out on key exposure opportunities that could impact their career? 
  • How can meaningful exposure to leaders, team management and growth opportunities still be available to those who choose a more flexible work schedule? 
  • What types of solutions allow for equitable opportunities for all types of work styles?
