The Leadership Lounge Podcast Stuart Waddington

In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, we speak to Sarah Furness.



After graduating from Cambridge University, Sarah followed her dream to become a combat helicopter pilot in the RAF. As a Squadron Leader she led on operational combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and she was the first female helicopter pilot to fly and lead UK Special Forces missions in Iraq. During her experiences both at home and at war, she made two important discoveries;



- resilience and performance under pressure is NOT instinctive



- BUT humans have an extraordinary ability to thrive and even excel under pressure when they know how.



She now has ONE mission. To share the secret to outstanding resilience, performance and courage “under fire”.



Sarah is the No1 Best Selling author of FLY HIGHER - train your mind to feel as strong as you look. All of her mental training techniques are backed by science and proven in combat. She is fluent in “alpha male” and whilst she takes her work seriously, she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She has an 8 year old son who she adores and who inspires her every day.

In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, we Dive Deep: From Competitive Swimmer to Navy Diver with Rob Hinton.



The average body is 60% water, in the case of Rob, this is unsubstantiated - as he has been swimming competitively since age 4.



On a rugby trip to South Africa, he found his love of diving and started his diving career there in 1999.



Always one for a challenge, Rob entered the Royal Navy as a direct entry Clearance Diver candidate. Of the 29 candidates on his Aptitude only 3 passed, Rob being one of them, thankfully.



Rob then went on to have a successful career, carrying out mine clearance and bomb disposal on sea and land. Serving in: Fleet Diving Unit 2, HMS Inverness and Northern Diving Group.



After the Royal Navy, Rob dived commercially for 14 years working in oil & gas all over the world.



Along with being a founder of Hold Fast, Rob was an assistant instructor for military rebreather courses - working across the continents.



Apparently, Rob has a sense of humour!

In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, we discuss Military Leadership in politics with Jonny Ball.

Jonny’s civilian career has seen him run campaigns at every level of government, from local to National & European elections and across the veterans’ sector including project managing Deloitte’s Veterans Work campaign and as a consultant to Defence charities. Vitally, his experience from the time he led an MOD’s employer relationship management team has meant that he has become a trusted networker within the armed forces community. His lengthy Army Reservist service includes operational tours of Northern Ireland and Afghanistan. In 2013, following a tour of Afghanistan the previous year, he was awarded a Commander Land Forces’ Commendation for his work as a Pashto Linguist and Intelligence Analyst. This resume of political experience, veterans affairs knowledge and military service places Jonny in a unique position as the UK’s pioneer of transferable military skills to wider UK civil society. He has been the Reserve Forces Reserve Mentor on Reservist Mental Health at the MOD, work that helped extend the offer of ‘Op Courage’ to the Reservist community, and is host of ‘Veterans In Politics’ podcast, interviewing veterans from across the globe who have ‘stood up to serve again.’ In September 2023, he will be competing in the Invictus Games as part of Team UK as part of his own recovery journey through sport.
