Roaming with Restless Women

Breaking the Glass Cockpit: A Fighter Pilot’s Fight for Inclusion


Listen Later

In the latest episode of "Roaming with Restless Women," I sat down with Sharon "Betty" Preszler, the first woman to fly the F-16 fighter jet and a veteran of combat missions in Iraq.

I read a LinkedIn post Sharon wrote regarding "Meritocracy" and how the military is often held up as a model of meritocracy when the reality is much different. I invited Sharon to share her wisdom with our audience because it holds so much wisdom!

Sharon’s story is not just about breaking the sound barrier—it’s about shattering glass ceilings, overcoming adversity, and championing inclusion.

Sharon shares her hard-won insights on meritocracy, resilience, gender bias, and the power of support.

Whether you’re an aspiring pilot, a professional navigating a male-dominated field, or simply someone seeking inspiration, Sharon’s journey offers actionable advice and nuanced wisdom for anyone ready to take flight in their own life!

This one's a MUST LISTEN!
