    Avalanche Adventures: Caroline's Path to Corporate Leadership

    In this episode, I dive into the incredible story of Caroline Elliott - the only British woman to have qualified across all the disciplines of the French ski patrol rescue world: controlled bombing, weather forecasting, and avalanche dog handling. A graduate of the prestigious École Nationale de Ski et d’Alpinisme in Chamonix, Caroline went on to become the first British woman to join the French Fire and Rescue specialist mountain unit, trained to respond to some of the most dangerous missions imaginable, from gas explosions and building collapses to avalanches and missing persons. Now a Snow Safety Consultant, Educator, and author of the children’s book Fjord’s Mountain Mission, Caroline’s journey is one of breaking barriers, redefining resilience, and thriving in male-dominated, high-pressure environments. We explore: 🎿 How a passion for skiing turned into a career at the cutting edge of avalanche rescue. 🐾 The discipline, intuition, and trust it takes to work as a dog handler in life-or-death situations. 💥 The transferable lessons from operating in crisis that apply to leadership, communication, and team resilience. 💡 How Caroline now uses her experience to help organisations strengthen their culture, wellbeing, and performance. This conversation is packed with insight, adventure, and inspiration. So, whether you’re leading a team, chasing a new goal, or simply need a reminder that limits are often self-imposed, this one’s for you.

    When Thinking Harder Makes You Stuck

    If pros and cons lists worked, you wouldn’t still be Googling ‘Should I quit my job?’ at 2am. And yet, how many of us have done exactly that? Scribbled a list, analysed every angle, researched the 52nd article on ‘should I stay or should I go’… and still, we don’t move. That’s because your head brain, as brilliant as it is, sometimes works overtime to keep you ‘safe’, but that safety often equals stuckness. In this episode, we’re diving into why your logical mind isn’t always the best decision-maker, and what you can do instead. You’ll hear real stories, a few of my own reflections - including how I recently realised dancing is one of my forgotten passions (and if anyone can get me a ticket to Strictly Come Dancing, or better yet, a place on the show, please call me immediately!), and simple tools from coaching and psychology to help you stop spiralling and start moving. 💡 In this episode: Why your head brain loves logic (and why that’s not always helpful) How to spot “fear dressed as logic” when it’s keeping you stuck The Fact vs Story exercise to cut through overthinking How Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule can help you act before fear talks you out of it Why it’s not about making huge changes overnight - small acts of alignment matter most ☕ Grab your cuppa, get comfy, and let’s dive in. 👉 Explore more coaching resources, downloads, and ways to work with me: linktr.ee/lauracapindale
