NJC's Heidi Cole supports aspiring flight attendants from a holistic perspective. 

Starting out as commercial cabin crew, she quickly transitioned to private flight attendant and has built a wealth of experience and developed her unique approach over 22 years. 

Experiencing her own difficulties during the pandemic, she sought the support of a mentor that she says was life changing. This ongoing learning and wisdom is infused into her aviation coaching and courses, from a self confidence and creating connection perspective. This is at the heart of success in the role she believes.

Alongside 22 years of experience in aviation, she also incorporates her background in modelling and TV presenting. All leading to a thriving role in this industry.

She started an apprenticeship with Hays Travel and when she was 18 started applying for jobs as crew. After working for a ground handling agent, Servisair, she got her first flying job for FlyJet.

In this episode, we chat with Julie Tyrer, a Cabin Crew from 2012 to 2016.

Julie had the privilege of being Virgin Atlantic Cabin Crew. It was a dream job which she debated doing since graduating in 2005.

She took a sabbatical from Virgin to cover a maternity position teaching Travel and Tourism at Uxbridge College. Her classroom was an aircraft, it was just like being in SEP training.

She decided not to return to Virgin due to contact changes and spent some time as a Careers Advisor to pay the bills whilst she qualified as a Personal Trainer, with the plan to start her own business.

Whilst all that was going on, she got recommended for a position at QinetiQ, a Defence and Space company (literally rocket science... she's basically their Penny from Big Bang theory!).

She honestly believed it was the skills as cabin crew and that Virgin Flair that never leaves you which got her this job. She now lead the Development Programme for the apprentices and graduates. It took her a while to find her feet after leaving flying, but she finally found it!

Mood/Vision boards

If you think vision boards are bogus, then think again! They work, and there's actually a really simple explanation of why they work so well.

In this episode we chat to Jools Tyrer about the power of visions/Mood boards. She creates one most years, or if ever she has a plan to change to life plan.

Visualisation is one of the most powerful mind exercises you can do  it brings to life what we focus on and brings it to reality.  "The law of attraction is forming your entire life experience and it is doing that through your thoughts. When you are visualising, you are emitting a powerful frequency out into the Universe."

Some of this text was recycled from a Huffington Post articlecan do. According to the popular book The Secret, "The law of attraction is forming your entire life experience and it is doing that through your thoughts. When you are visualising, you are emitting a powerful frequency out into the Universe."

Whether you believe that or not, we know that visualisation works. As Jools mentions, Olympic athletes have been using it for years to improve performance, from runners to ice skaters. Psychology Today in one example reported that the brain patterns will activated when a weightlifter lifts heavy weights are also similarly activated when the lifter just imagined (visualised) lifting weights.

So, what's the big secret to creating a vision board that works? It's simple: Your vision/mood board should be designed on how you feel or want to feel not just on things that you want ( although that works as well..

Join us for a new series for Not Just Crew entitled Return sector, when we have a chance to chat with previous guest, who happens to mention something on the show, and we want to delve deeper, but just run out of time. On this first episode we'll be talking with Sabena Moylan.

Sabena has been a Cabin Crew for 19 years working for airlines such as Aer Lingus, Ryanair and the last ten years with Virgin Atlantic.

She always have had a love for Sport, Rugby in particular and started refereeing with Munster Rugby Association of Referees in 2012 but sadly got injured and had to bow out. Not before she had the honour of being the first Irish woman to officiate a game for the RFU in Twickenham in 2013.

After refereeing, she went into Rugby correspondence alongside flying for Ruck.co.uk and Last word on Sports. She took a sabbatical from Virgin in 2017 and went working for Connacht rugby as their Matchday manager/Operations executive. She did this role for 18 months before returning to Virgin. It was an exciting role managing, organising and running all their Pro14 and EPCR Home games. She is now a Rugby Correspondent for HerSport.ie that focuses on the importance of women sport in our society.
