Mandy Hickson, a former RAF fast jet pilot, motivational speaker, business navigator, and change maker, was the first woman to fly the Tornado GR4 fighter jet on the front line.

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure business world, many organisations struggle to maintain peak performance, effective teamwork, and resilience under pressure. Leaders often grapple with decision-making in times of uncertainty, while teams can falter when communication and trust break down.

Mandy brings unmatched expertise from one of the most critical environments imaginable—the cockpit of a fast jet. As one of the first female fighter pilots in the RAF, Mandy operated in a male-dominated world, making split-second decisions at supersonic speeds, leading teams under intense pressure, and delivering results when the stakes couldn’t be higher. Her unique journey has been featured in her bestselling book ‘An Officer, Not a Gentleman’, and she has since inspired audiences worldwide as a professional speaker, working with organisations to translate lessons from the skies to the corporate world.

By booking Mandy as your keynote speaker, your organisation will gain invaluable insights into building high-performing teams, making confident decisions under pressure, and fostering an environment of trust, communication, and resilience. Mandy’s engaging storytelling, practical strategies, and ability to connect with audiences on a personal level will leave your team inspired and equipped to face challenges head-on. Whether it’s about leading with courage, adapting to change, or embracing diversity, Mandy delivers powerful messages that resonate long after the event.

Bring Mandy on board and watch your team’s mindset and performance soar.
