What do helicopters, humanitarian crises, and high-pressure hospital wards have in common?

In this episode, we sit down with Jan Becker, CEO, helicopter pilot, midwife, and international educator, to explore the vital role of non-technical skills in high-stakes environments.

From aviation to midwifery to emergency medicine, Jan unpacks Crew Resource Management (CRM), situational awareness, closed-loop communication, and how to lead without overpowering.

We dive into decision-making under pressure, how to manage amygdala hijack, and why simulation training (and humility) might just save lives.

Highlights include:

• The link between cockpit discipline and clinical calm

• Why humanitarian medicine demands quiet confidence

• How to build collective efficacy and empower teams

• Teaching others to lead without ego
