Transcript
- 0:00Welcome to Frontline Static, we will get to hear interviews with
- 0:02some of my clients journeys of getting into flight and how they
- 0:05utilize coaching to help them create success of getting hired
- 0:08with less confusion and more ease.
- 0:10Make your dream a reality of getting into flight.
- 0:12Listen in as you hear some of the stories of the people
- 0:14getting there and come join the flight prep group.
- 0:17Hey you guys, welcome to this week's podcast episode of
- 0:20Frontline Static episode 141. Three lessons I have learned as
- 0:24a flight nurse. I have had a lot of fun really
- 0:31just thinking about what are some of the simple lessons or
- 0:35simple things that I would like to talk about on the podcast
- 0:38episodes. I really have enjoyed learning
- 0:42social media and getting into social media as I've navigated
- 0:46becoming a flight and a life coach in the last four years.
- 0:50What's interesting about this, before I became a coach, I
- 0:56really didn't know very much about social media.
- 0:59I posted every once in a while on Facebook, but I really didn't
- 1:02know Instagram. So fun fact, when I became a
- 1:07life coach and I knew I wanted to start to use Instagram, I had
- 1:09my kids and my coworkers that helped me figure out how to do
- 1:13it. And I just love everybody who's
- 1:16been along with me on this journey and how much it's grown.
- 1:19And I really just accredit that to really putting thoughtfulness
- 1:25into everything that I say and authentically being myself.
- 1:30I don't even know what the Instagram algorithms are.
- 1:33I don't think about any of that stuff.
- 1:35I just really think about what do you guys want to hear and how
- 1:39can I put it out there in a way that feels authentic to myself?
- 1:44And one thing that I really like about Instagram is doing Reels.
- 1:48But I feel like sometimes I'm limited by what I can say and
- 1:53how much I can say. So I know that was like a long
- 1:56lead up into I've really enjoyed doing these podcast episodes
- 1:59because I'm thinking about how can I say this and not a time
- 2:03that's so limited and really speak to you a little bit longer
- 2:07with clarity and more. I guess like what is the word?
- 2:14I'm thinking of depth in these conversations and I feel like
- 2:19I'm just able to do that in my podcast episodes.
- 2:23So that being said, I want you guys to also be thinking about
- 2:28and preface this with when I'm listening to my coach, my life
- 2:33coach, it's usually when I'm on a walk or when I'm working out
- 2:36or when I'm driving in my car or when I'm getting ready in the
- 2:40morning. And so I want to offer for you
- 2:42guys to be thinking about these conversations and what I bring
- 2:45you and the topics on my podcast to be like.
- 2:49I'm getting ready with you. I'm having lunch with you, I'm
- 2:51working out with you, I'm going on a walk with you, Whatever
- 2:55helps you think about really being there with me because I
- 3:00want you to know as I'm recording these, as I'm thinking
- 3:02about the topics, I'm thinking about sitting right across the
- 3:05table from you. Oi wanted to just start with
- 3:07that this week. I thought it would just be fun.
- 3:11I get asked all the time, what was it like to be a flight nurse
- 3:16and what was your routine like? And I just thought it would be
- 3:19really fun to package up this episode and three things that I
- 3:23really learned as a flight nurse.
- 3:24I learned a lot of different things, but these are three
- 3:27things that I've thought about a lot as I've answered this
- 3:29question. So I thought it would be fun to
- 3:31just let you know three really my big takeaways from being a
- 3:36flight nurse. And, and I think I thought these
- 3:39things as I was flying in the seven years that I was flying,
- 3:43but it's become really evident and really clear for me as I've
- 3:48created distance. It's been 2 years since I've
- 3:50retired from flight nursing. Really, the lessons that I've
- 3:54learned. And so I narrowed it down to
- 3:57talking about 3 really big ones. And I wanted to just bring those
- 4:01to you this week and share those with you and give it to you in a
- 4:05way so that you can start thinking about how do you grow
- 4:07the belief, the capability and learn these lessons ahead of
- 4:11time for yourself. Because I think that if you can
- 4:14start to think about these lessons ahead of time, this is
- 4:17what's going to help you get into flight, and this is what's
- 4:19going to help you be successful as well.
- 4:21So let's start with #1 gosh, I talked about this on the flight
- 4:26prep Academy call that we had, the weekly call that we had
- 4:28today. And I talked about honestly like
- 4:34to be fully transparent, the big things and issues that I saw
- 4:39with people getting into flight that I included myself and also
- 4:45training new people is that ICU nurses who come into flight
- 4:50nursing. And I want to also start with,
- 4:53it doesn't matter if you come from ERICUI, always say pick the
- 4:56department that interests you the most and then grow in that
- 5:00department. Become the best ER inertia, the
- 5:02best ICU nurse of the specialty of whatever one you're more
- 5:05excited about. That's where your critical
- 5:07thinking skills are going to grow.
- 5:08But myself included and whoever I trained, it's just general in
- 5:15general ICU nurses that came into flight, they had a harder
- 5:19time with pre hospital triaging, a lot of chaos and things going
- 5:25on at once and thinking very quickly.
- 5:29And so that is kind of like, I think the weakness of an ICU
- 5:33nurse going into flight and then the weaknesses that I would tend
- 5:36to see of an ER nurse going into flight is they just didn't have
- 5:41a lot of knowledge of ventilators initiation,
- 5:44ventilator changes, and then advanced hemodynamics and
- 5:49different drips, inotropes and all the different drips that you
- 5:53use in advanced hemodynamics and monitoring.
- 5:56That being said, all of that is okay.
- 5:57I just wanted you guys to know that and recognize like going in
- 6:03either as an ER or ICU nurse, these are the areas you're going
- 6:05to be weaker in. So instead of like pushing up
- 6:07against them, just know this is the tendency of what I saw.
- 6:11And this isn't all the time, but this is in general what I saw
- 6:14and what I experienced for myself.
- 6:16And that that is not wrong. I don't want you to have any
- 6:18feelings of like, OK, flights not meant for me.
- 6:20Just know those are the weaknesses.
- 6:22Those are the things you're going to have to overcome.
- 6:23Those are the things you're going to have to spend more time
- 6:25with. And I knew that as I was
- 6:28precepting people. So I would kind of focus on
- 6:30helping them learn whatever area they were weaker in when it had
- 6:34to do with flight. OK, So that being said, I know
- 6:38that was a long intro into my number one.
- 6:40My number one lesson that I learned going in as a flight
- 6:43nurse is to embrace the chaos. And that is just really simply
- 6:46because I spent four years as an ICU nurse and then two years as
- 6:52a student nurse, intern and tech in the ICU.
- 6:54So the total of the six years, I really learned safety in having
- 7:01a controlled environment, having a big team, having my lines all
- 7:06perfectly labeled. I took pride in having a clean
- 7:12room and everything stocked the way that I wanted it.
- 7:15I wiped everything down before my shift and I left it like
- 7:20that. I took a lot of pride in that
- 7:22and that really served and helped me as an ICU nurse.
- 7:25But that was my biggest weakness I had to overcome when I got
- 7:29into flight. So, and I know lots of you guys
- 7:33who are ear nurses are laughing because you're like, Oh yeah,
- 7:35that's exactly how I see nurses are.
- 7:37But this was one of the first things that I learned from the
- 7:41flight nurse that was precepting me is Janessa.
- 7:43You got to learn to embrace the chaos, meaning that things,
- 7:49people, equipment, calls, teams, departments, they're not going
- 7:55to be wrapped up with a Pretty Little bow.
- 7:57Things are not going to go as planned.
- 7:59You don't have your whole team behind you that you can ask
- 8:03things of doctors and ancillary staff and all those things.
- 8:07You have to be willing to go into chaotic scenes and embrace
- 8:12them and trust yourself in them and learn to expect the
- 8:17unexpected. I even remember my first, and
- 8:20I've shared this before, but I'm shared again, My first IV that I
- 8:25got on my first scene call, I mean, I wasn't used to doing
- 8:28Ivs. We didn't do a lot in the ICU
- 8:30and when we did, we did a lot of ultrasound IV.
- 8:32So I was good at that, but just even doing a regular plain IVI
- 8:36remember getting it, letting it bleed excessively, not holding
- 8:40pressure quick enough, and then like making it nice and pretty
- 8:44as I was taping it up. And my preceptor when we got
- 8:47back was like, he's like, I will never see you do that again.
- 8:51You will put in the IV and you'll move on to the next day.
- 8:55And it was like I just had to learn to embrace the chaos and
- 8:59learn to grow the capability and belief in myself that I could be
- 9:04good at that. And I would say it didn't come
- 9:07over time, but it did. I mean, it didn't come quickly,
- 9:12but it was something that I knew I needed to tackle and I got
- 9:16really clear of at the beginning that I needed to be OK with.
- 9:24Things were not well planned out all the time that what I thought
- 9:31was going to be the way to get the patient there or the path
- 9:34that I was going to take sometimes didn't happen.
- 9:37Sometimes we would land at these rural ER beds and or ICU beds
- 9:43and it was like the physician needed our help or the team
- 9:46needed our help and we ended up intubating or we needed to
- 9:50intubate before we loaded them to the aircraft or weather
- 9:53started to come in. So then we needed to think of an
- 9:56alternate route, whether we were going by ground or whether we
- 9:59needed to take the fixed wing instead of the helicopter.
- 10:03So you just had to be ready for the unexpected and then also be
- 10:07confident and capable that even as things continue to roll out
- 10:13that you could achieve the end game, which was getting the
- 10:18patient from point A to point B safely and also treating them
- 10:22thinking critically if anything did go unexpected or wrong.
- 10:25So that was the first one was just a learning to embrace that
- 10:30things, things would change, calls would change, weather
- 10:35would come in. All the sudden maybe we're
- 10:38needing to be left somewhere because it is pilot change of
- 10:44shift and so the new pilot needs to come and get us.
- 10:47Or maybe all the sudden we have an issue with our aircraft and
- 10:51we need to jump into another aircraft and we need to move the
- 10:53things. So just being willing to go with
- 10:59whatever was coming our way and that we would figure it out.
- 11:04That was number 1, was just really learning to embrace the
- 11:06chaos. Number 21 of the lessons that I
- 11:11really learned was to really lean into being myself.
- 11:16And what that meant and what that looked like was all the
- 11:20ugly parts of me, all the messy parts of me being willing to be
- 11:24open and honest when I didn't know something, and being honest
- 11:30with myself of what I needed in every moment.
- 11:34And being willing to ask my partner and my team and dispatch
- 11:38and the departments and the patients what they needed.
- 11:41And this also meant honing in on what I was really, really good
- 11:46at and speaking up when I wasn't good at something.
- 11:49And this also means being open in the moments where there are
- 11:56conflicts, for example, like if something was going wrong with
- 12:02the staff and I'm starting to get really frustrated, like
- 12:06telling my partner, hey, I'm getting really frustrated.
- 12:08I'm going to need to take a moment, I'm going to need to
- 12:10walk away. Do you think that you can take
- 12:13over and handle the situation and being able to stay openly
- 12:17with myself, I'm coming to a point where I'm not being able
- 12:21to think clearly. Can you take over or also being
- 12:24able to recognize, you know, I know you guys already
- 12:27experienced this. We have a lot of things in our
- 12:30life going on as we're working. Sometimes we can
- 12:33compartmentalize those really well and sometimes we can't.
- 12:35So for example, something might be going on with my partner and
- 12:38their personal life and I'm starting to see it affect our
- 12:41call. And it's the willingness to be
- 12:44able to say, hey, are you okay? Like do we need to stop this
- 12:49call? Do we need to pause this call?
- 12:50Like what's going on? Just be honest with me.
- 12:53I mean, having those open and honest conversations with your
- 12:57team or whether it's maybe with the ground team or something
- 13:00that's going on. In another example of this is
- 13:04sometimes we would get to the team and like this actually
- 13:10happened a lot. We didn't, we had the policy of
- 13:13we wouldn't put the patient on the aircraft.
- 13:14If we thought that they were going to code, we would ground
- 13:17them into the nearest hospital because that's the best thing
- 13:20for the patient. So we weren't trying to code
- 13:24them in the helicopter with not very ideal circumstances where
- 13:29we could do the very best for them.
- 13:30So if we knew the patient was going to code, code, I really
- 13:33wouldn't bring them onto the helicopter unless it was a
- 13:36pediatric patient or unless I felt like we could bring them
- 13:39back. And so there was a lot of
- 13:41instances where we would get there and the patient was avidly
- 13:46coding and we didn't necessarily need to stay with that ground
- 13:51unit to to ground the rest of the way in.
- 13:54But I would always be like, hey, we're the higher level of care.
- 13:57Would you like our help? Can we help you in situations
- 14:02that weren't so black and white of if we could provide more care
- 14:04for them and, and just having that open conversation with
- 14:08them, usually they're like, yeah, we would like we would
- 14:10love the extra set of hands or, you know, whatever was
- 14:14happening. Or maybe we would roll up to a
- 14:19this actually happened one time that I'm thinking of.
- 14:21We rolled up to an ER and it was a roll that ER and the patient
- 14:24was coding and we knew we couldn't take them anymore to
- 14:27the next, to the next higher level of care hospital because
- 14:31they weren't going to make it. And so we just opted to stay in
- 14:35there and help them with the call and with the patient.
- 14:38And so it's really being able to ask openly what do you need and
- 14:43being open with what you need. And then also being honest with
- 14:48yourself in the moments where maybe it is becoming dicey and
- 14:53maybe you need extra resources and being able to say out loud
- 14:56what that is. And when I say being ugly and
- 15:01messy, like I think one of my biggest weaknesses is that
- 15:04sometimes I become reactionary or defensive.
- 15:10I know early on in my flight career, it was like you could
- 15:12see on my face when I didn't agree with maybe what a
- 15:15physician was telling me or a physician was yelling at me
- 15:18openly in front of the teams. And I just remember my manager,
- 15:24base manager at the time being like, we got this complaint
- 15:27about your face when they were trying to give you a critique.
- 15:30And she's like, you know, sometimes maybe if you don't
- 15:34even agree, I just would like you to put a smile on your face.
- 15:36And it's like I learned a lot from my non verbal communication
- 15:42that I needed to be honest with myself.
- 15:45But then I, there's also instances where I just needed to
- 15:48be better. And that included like really
- 15:52taking in what they were saying in the moment and maybe talking
- 15:55about them afterwards. I, I, you know, just being
- 15:58honest with how I felt, but also taking in criticism.
- 16:02And so this also just really looks like following hunches
- 16:12when you are able to be yourself, get out of your head,
- 16:16you're able to really hone in on, hey, this doesn't feel right
- 16:20for me. I feel like maybe something's
- 16:23going to go wrong with the patient.
- 16:24This is where you can really kind of tap into your critical
- 16:26thinking. There were instances where I was
- 16:30like, we're trying to push this call too much.
- 16:33I no longer feel like this is safe.
- 16:35So we're just going to, we're just going to say no to
- 16:38accepting this call or we're going to say no and we're going
- 16:41to ground the call. We're going to ground the
- 16:42patient the rest of the way because I don't feel good about
- 16:44putting them on the aircraft for whatever reason.
- 16:48And so you have to be able, being yourself means you're able
- 16:52to tap into hunches or maybe times where it doesn't feel safe
- 16:57or maybe a time where your brain is telling you something's going
- 17:00to go wrong. You need to be able to
- 17:03acknowledge what that is and, and, and have a really good
- 17:07feeling of like, this is what a hunch feels like for me.
- 17:11This is what it's like for me to be myself.
- 17:12This is what I what it's like when I feel like things aren't
- 17:15going right. When you can learn to really be
- 17:20yourself, what you need, what you like, what you don't like,
- 17:23speaking up in those moments, learning to take criticism.
- 17:28That's when you create systematic processes for
- 17:31yourself. I really think that that's the
- 17:33result of critical thinking. I think my critical thinking
- 17:37skills are so good because I trust myself.
- 17:40And the more I've allowed myself to exercise those moments of
- 17:44critical thinking, that's when we as nurses and as medics and
- 17:49as as critical care staff, that's how we create systematic
- 17:54processes for ourselves. So what I mean by that is I
- 17:59knew. I knew as a flight nurse like
- 18:04what would really help me in instances if I had a really
- 18:08critical patient, instead of going back and remembering
- 18:11things, I put this big like 4 inch tape on my flight suit and
- 18:16then I would write down OK 10/20.
- 18:18Patient respiration started to go below 10 or whatever and then
- 18:22I would write down OK 10/21. This is 1.
- 18:25I gave RSI drugs and so having that tape process helped me
- 18:30become systematic and how I would then go back in my
- 18:33charting and, and put my charting in there and create a
- 18:36process for myself where it was easy, it was clear and it was
- 18:40concise. But it was only the willingness
- 18:42of me, kind of like experimenting, trying out
- 18:45critically, thinking what's going to work the best for me
- 18:48that I could create some of these processes.
- 18:50So I want to offer you guys the more open, honest you are with
- 18:53what you need, how you learn, how you do things, that's where
- 18:57you can tap into the critical thinking.
- 18:59That's where you can tap into the systematic processes.
- 19:02And then that's how you can walk yourself through recreating how
- 19:07you can do things in a timely manner.
- 19:09Another example of this is as a flight nurse, you're constantly
- 19:14having to go for through verbal case scenarios.
- 19:17Whether you're practicing them with your partner to get better
- 19:20at them or whether you are doing quarterly check offs with case
- 19:25scenarios or annual check offs with case scenarios, you are
- 19:29constantly verbalizing case scenarios.
- 19:31Verbalizing case scenarios was different for me than actually
- 19:34being in the scenario. When I was actually doing the
- 19:38job, running the sinkholes, running the inner facility
- 19:41transports, I did really well. I feel like I do really well
- 19:44under pressure, but there was like this something added thing
- 19:47about doing it verbally with a mannequin in front of other
- 19:51people and other people watching me that I always got tripped up
- 19:53on. So because of that, I analyzed
- 19:56like what is it that I do really well in these instances?
- 19:59What is it that I don't? What do I kind of want to do?
- 20:01Do differently and through that, that's how I created a
- 20:04systematic process to walk myself through any verbal case
- 20:08scenario. Now the systematic process is
- 20:11the process that I teach you inside the flight prep Academy.
- 20:14So if you're in the Flight Prep Academy, I teach you this
- 20:17process that I created for myself, and this will just help
- 20:21you verbalize and walk through whatever it is, whether it's a
- 20:27pediatric infant, trauma, cardiac, whatever it is, it
- 20:30helps you hit everything that you need to hit in a verbal case
- 20:33scenario. And so this is a just another
- 20:35example of like, really me allowing myself to ask myself,
- 20:39what do I need? Where do I trip myself up that I
- 20:41created this systematic process and really helped myself tap
- 20:45into my critical thinking. So that was #2 #3 is learning to
- 20:51have your own back and your team's back no matter what.
- 20:56And I think one of the things that I value a lot is loyalty.
- 21:02And so I think that this comes natural to me and being really
- 21:07loyal to people and having other people's back.
- 21:09But flight really showcases areas where you're weak and
- 21:16whatever you think you're weaker in, it's going to be magnified
- 21:20once you get into flight. And an area that I was kind of
- 21:22weakened was learning to quiet the negative self talk and have
- 21:28my own back. What I mean by this and what
- 21:30this looked like was early on in my flight career when things
- 21:34didn't go well or there was a bad patient outcome, I would
- 21:37ruminate over the call over and over and over again.
- 21:41So much so that I would get so sucked into it that it would be
- 21:44hard for me to go back and I would pull back on my next
- 21:47shift. And I know you guys have similar
- 21:49thoughts and feelings of calls or shifts where this happens and
- 21:53you spend a lot of time with it. And so #3 is really important
- 21:58because learning to have your own back means you're learning
- 22:01to trust yourself in the moments.
- 22:03You're trusting yourself, you're trusting your decisions.
- 22:06And one thought that really helped me do this was I'm making
- 22:09the right decision in this moment with the set of
- 22:12circumstances that I have. And my team's making the right
- 22:16decisions with what I thought was right at the moment.
- 22:19And that really thought, that thought helped me a lot because
- 22:23it helped me get to that subset of things that was going on.
- 22:28I made the very best decision and my team made the very best
- 22:30decision in that moment and that really helped quiet a lot of the
- 22:34noise for me. It helped me have my own back a
- 22:38lot. When we had to talk through
- 22:39calls that maybe didn't go well or we had to like just run
- 22:43through what happened with the patient.
- 22:45If they had a poor outcome or if they coded every patient that
- 22:49coded you were you. You really had to go when you
- 22:51had to talk about it later on with education or with the
- 22:55directors or with the teams and kind of not in a like punitive
- 22:59way, but just to review that, what you went through in your
- 23:02thoughts on it all. And it's really important that
- 23:07whoever makes a mistake, whether it's you, whether it's your
- 23:10partner, whether it's your pilot or whether whoever it is, it's
- 23:16really important to take responsibility in that.
- 23:18And so that's what I mean by having your own back is really
- 23:22being able to trust yourself with the quick decisions that
- 23:26you're making and then go back on them and and tell yourself
- 23:31like that you made the best decision that you could in the
- 23:34moment. And that with each call and with
- 23:39each decision, you are taking responsibility for that.
- 23:45And it flight. And what I really learned after
- 23:51running, I think probably over 1000 calls is being able to look
- 23:59back on calls and say, hey, this is where I messed up.
- 24:02This is where I could have been better.
- 24:04But then also being able to say, hey, I made the best decision
- 24:08that I could, or we made the best decision that we could.
- 24:12And really learning to not point fingers.
- 24:15You're a team in everything. And that means taking
- 24:19responsibility for mistakes maybe that were made and also
- 24:26trusting yourself for the decisions that you made at the
- 24:28time. So I want to go through these
- 24:32three things again. Number one is embracing the
- 24:36chaos. Number 2 is being yourself,
- 24:39ugly, messy, being willing to be open and honest #3 is learning
- 24:44to have your own back and your team's back no matter what, and
- 24:47learning to trust yourself. And what I want to offer you
- 24:50with these three things and these lessons that I learned is
- 24:53I want to offer for you to start putting these into action now,
- 24:57these three things, embracing the chaos, being yourself,
- 25:00having your own back and your team's back.
- 25:03If you practice this in your shifts now as critical care
- 25:07nurses or as medics, you will step into that flight position
- 25:12very confidently and into that interview.
- 25:15You can practice being that flight nurse now.
- 25:17You can practice it on every shift that you go in and you can
- 25:21become that flight nurse ahead of time.
- 25:23This is what will give you the confidence sitting in this
- 25:26interview. This is what but will give you
- 25:28the confidence after you get your offer.
- 25:30On the flight Prep Academy call today, we talked about someone
- 25:34who just received an offer last week and he talked about he took
- 25:39all the lessons and things and the self concept and self
- 25:42identity of what a flight nurse was and what he wanted it what
- 25:46he thought it looked like. He took that into every shift
- 25:49that he went to as an ER nurse and as he practiced being that
- 25:53flight nurse and who he thought that flight nurse was, with
- 25:57confidence, he grew into that person so that when he sat in
- 26:01that interview a couple weeks ago, he already believed it
- 26:06about himself. And when you believe it, they
- 26:08will believe it too. And this is how you grow the
- 26:10belief by practicing these things today.
- 26:13Also what we talked about is stepping into the belief and
- 26:16self concept, really starting to identify with who that flight
- 26:22nurse is, what that flight nurse looks like for you, and really
- 26:26starting to shape and mold that for yourself is how you will
- 26:30grow your confidence. Now I know you guys have pre
- 26:34misconceptions of what you think of flight nurses.
- 26:37I know and I've heard from you guys cuz I thought this too.
- 26:39Flight nurse I, I put on pedestals and it was like they
- 26:42knew everything and they were confident and they never had
- 26:44doubt and that just simply isn't true.
- 26:47What I want you guys to think about with these three lessons
- 26:50that I've learned is how can I apply these to my shifts now?
- 26:54And then also, who do I think the confident flight nurses and
- 26:59what are the qualities that I want to have as that flight
- 27:04nurse? And then go out and practice
- 27:06those for yourself. These are things that you can
- 27:09grow now and what how you can maybe put these into practice
- 27:13now is I hear a lot of you guys, well, I have a colleague or a
- 27:16preceptor I don't like and it's affecting me and how my
- 27:20confidence and how I'm showing up.
- 27:22But really, when you can practice having this belief and
- 27:26growing into the self concept of being that flight nurse, now it
- 27:30does not matter who you're working with, who's precepting
- 27:34you, what patient you have, what's going on in your unit,
- 27:39who your manager is, what's the education level of education
- 27:42you're getting. Because you always got you.
- 27:46You know how to show up in the chaos, you know how to be
- 27:50yourself, and you know to have your own back no matter what.
- 27:54And I promise you, if you can take on these three things, then
- 27:58your circumstances of what's happening in your unit will not
- 28:02have power over you. Because I really believed as a
- 28:07flight nurse that I could work with any partner, any pilot in
- 28:13any aircraft, anywhere all over the United States and still show
- 28:18up confidently because I trusted myself.
- 28:20And when you trust yourself, you know how to trust your team.
- 28:24You know how to make really good decisions and you know how to
- 28:26trust like every possible different outcome that or
- 28:31intervention that you can do for your patient.
- 28:34And then when you can trust yourself, you have power over
- 28:38whatever circumstances that you have and you have power to show
- 28:42up confidently no matter what. I hope that this podcast episode
- 28:48resonated with you. I hope you got something about
- 28:51stepping into the belief, stepping into yourself concept.
