Welcome aboard, everyone 🙂 I’m Captain Ben le Fleming, a professional pilot of over 25 years, with experience on Gulfstream V, VI, & VII, Boeing 737, 757, & 767, and Learjet 45 aircraft. In this podcast, I chat with my fellow pilots, flight attendants, and other aviation specialists to explore how we develop the can-do, creative mindset in building confidence, performing well, and enjoying the wonderful experience of life, in and out of the flight deck. They say it takes 1000 people to successfully start, build, and complete a flight mission. That’s mind-blowing, and it highlights how important it is to connect with ourselves with emotional understanding and intelligence as a precursor to developing a spiritual understanding of connection with everyone around us. That forms the basis of health and wellness on a fascinating journey of discovery and adventure together. My aviation journey started at 25 when I finally found the confidence to pursue my dream of becoming a professional pilot. Until then, I had not considered myself remotely intelligent or emotionally strong enough to embark on such a feat, as I struggled to concentrate at school, making classroom studies a constant battle. That was until I hit a low point in my mid-20s when my defeatist mindset led me to fail an interview to become a Professional Property Surveyor after six years of study and working experience. In my melancholy, I inadvertently picked up a flight school brochure, and the direction of my life completely changed. Four months later, I was on the way to the USA to start my piloting adventure. 26 years later, here I am starting a podcast and supporting others in my Mindset & Confidence Life Coaching business. Apart from my passion for flight, travel, adventure, discovery, and fascinating experiences around the world, my passions extend to my three wonderful children, as well as sports, guitar playing, singing, DIY, and cooking. I am also dedicated to self-development and building better relationships, having had a life-long fascination with what makes me tick emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally and how those elements play out in all those around me. I am delighted to have you join me on this fascinating journey, so please jump aboard, and let’s see where this adventure takes us 🙂 If you would like to discover more about me, you can click the link below to my website, where you can sign up for my monthly newsletter, where I share some inspirational stories, some tips and tricks, and some recommendations for books and social media posts.
