In this episode we are thrilled to chat with the phenomenal Cécile Biasio, COO of Airbus Protect.

Cécile is not just a leader in a male-dominated industry; she's a founding member of Women in Aerospace, a member of European Women on Boards, and the impulse and driving force behind Balance for Business at Airbus.

Her mission? To inspire everyone, especially women, to step into leadership with courage and authenticity.

Cécile redefines resilience as a joyful, collaborative journey driven by purpose, challenging the outdated "no pain, no gain" mentality.

Cécile doesn't just champion conscious choice and strategic self-awareness - she's living proof that no matter how busy you think you are - shifting from obligation to active selection in our daily lives can be done. Starting with micromoments.

Listen to find out how to create the micromoments of choice in your over full agenda!

As a COO, Cécile embodies authentic leadership, proving that bringing your whole, unique self – even a soft pink shirt in an engineering environment! – fosters trust and enhances performance.

She firmly advocates for gender diversity as a crucial business strategy, emphasising that varied perspectives lead to stronger teams and better navigation of uncertainty.

Key takeaways:

• Embrace joy (even if it seems counter intuitive, and my goodness it feels counter intuitive in this world) and authenticity
• Strategically manage your energy building in micromoments of choice
• Practice deliberate engagement to build trust and safe spaces.
• Your clear vision acts as a compass through challenges - your distinct approach is vital
• To those in leadership: actively seek diverse voices, valuing what unique individuals bring to the team.
• For women leaders: invest in yourself and choose your authentic path forward.
• Women leaders, we need you!!! A collective shift towards more inclusive, high-performing systems will only happen by embracing choice, joy, and diverse perspectives over outdated narratives of struggle.
