Sarah delves into the parallels between the battlefield and the boardroom

In this compelling episode of the Women Change Makers podcast, we sit down with Sarah Furness—​former RAF Squadron Leader, combat helicopter pilot, and founder of Well Be It—to explore how military-grade mental resilience can transform our approach to stress in the workplace.

Sarah, the first female helicopter pilot to lead UK Special Forces missions in Iraq, shares insights from her 20-year military career, including operational tours in Iraq and Afghanistan . She discusses her H.A.B.I.T.S. method (Healthy Automatic Behaviours in Threatening Scenarios), a framework designed to help individuals perform under pressure by training the mind to be as strong as the body.

Discover how Sarah's experiences on the battlefield can provide valuable lessons for managing stress, enhancing performance, and building resilience in high-pressure office environments. Her approach offers practical tools for leaders and teams aiming to thrive under stress and uncertainty.​
