    6 Steps to Becoming a Successful Air Traffic Controller

    In this episode, I take John Maxwell's teaching on successful personal change and see how it relates to those of you who are trying to become, or already are, air traffic controllers. The 6 steps are: Change your thinking, and you change your beliefs.Change your beliefs, and you change your expectations.Change your expectations, and you change your attitude.Change your attitude, and you change your behavior.Here's where it gets REALLY good! Change your behavior, and you change your performance! Change your performance, and YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE! You can change your life, but it all starts with changing your thinking and your thoughts. Remember: You can't change someone else, but you CAN change yourself. Thank you for listening! If you have a question or comment, you can text me at: 817-233-8199.

    Looking Ahead After 37 Years in ATC

    In this episode, I look back at my first day at the Academy, November 8, 1988. I also look ahead to what it might be like to be an air traffic controller in your future. I talk about some of the things you will have to endure while being an air traffic controller. Things like: Weird schedules and days off.Being a government employee during shutdowns and threats of shutdowns.Lack of sleep.etc. , etc. , etc.Yet with all of this negative stuff, I still think that this career is amazing and SO worth trying to be a part of. A lot will change over the next decades in ATC. I believe that the need for controllers will continue to grow and the technology should be fascinating to see. If your dream is to be an air traffic controller, then I would wholeheartedly suggest you pursue that dream. The pursuit of it will change you in ways you can't even consider until you get there!

    What is the Key to being Prepared for Evals?

    In this episode, I talk about how you can be prepared for the evals at the Academy. Last week, I talked about NERVES and what you can do to mitigate them as much as possible. This week, I talk about what that looks like. It requires you to commit to becoming better every single day you are in OKC. That commitment is essential to becoming the best you can be while you are at the Academy. If you need help making that commitment, or need help keeping that commitment, let me know. We will set up a time when we can talk and see what you may need to do to make those commitments come true.

    How Do I Fight Nerves at the Academy?

    In this episode, I go back to a couple of my first episodes and talk about one of the hardest things about the Academy: NERVES. I talk about what you can do to limit the effect of the nerves you are going to have. I also talk about the fact that being nervous before an eval is NOT necessarily a bad thing- it means you care! Prepare as much as you can, and don't let yourself lose sight of why you are there and what you want to accomplish! If you have a comment or question, you can TEXT me at 817-233-8199 or email me at tomhanes@sidebysideatc.com . I would love to hear from you!

    How Do I Learn How to Multi-task at the Academy?

    In this episode, I talk about multi-tasking as an air traffic controller. Multi-tasking is doing more than one thing at the same time. If you use that definition, air traffic controllers DO NOT multi-task. We do ONE thing at a time. We just do them so quickly that it appears that we are multi-tasking. The problem with multi-tasking is that when we try to do more than one thing at a time, we don't do anything as well as we could have!! Period! Instead of trying to multi-task, get better at doing one thing at a time correctly and going to the next task quickly. Then do the next task correctly, and so on. Speed kills! Speed is not your goal at the academy. Accuracy is your goal! As you practice and practice and practice, you will get faster naturally. But, always pursue accuracy over speed. If you have any questions or comments, you can text me at : 817-233-8199 or email me at tomhanes@sidebysideatc.com .

    Am I a Student or a Trainee while I am at the Academy?

    In this episode, I talk about the mindset that you need to have to do well at the Academy. The Academy is not college, and it is definitely not high school. The Academy is unlike anything you have experienced and if you don't have the right mindset going into it, you are likely to get behind and not be able to catch up. You have to treat the Academy as your job, which is exactly what it is. If you have the mindset that you are an employee of the FAA, that your employer has certain expectations from you, and that you are going to do whatever it takes to meet those expectations, then you have a great chance of succeeding. If you don't have that mindset, your chances of succeeding go down drastically. Treat your time at the Academy, or at CTI school, as a job, with the highest expectations on their employees, and you can succeed. Get as many people around you to help you on this journey and help those who are trying to help you. Do these things and you can be on the road to one of the greatest careers there is. If you have a question or comment, you can email me at: tomhanes@sidebysideatc.com . You can also text me at : 817-233-8199 . The website with coaching programs is: sidebysideatc.com . Thank you all for listening!! Have a great week!!
