To all the women who came before me - with Rosie Wild
Major Rosie Wild reflects on her historic achievement as the first woman to pass the parachute regiment's demanding P Company test in 2020. She candidly discusses how she followed a trail blazed by previous women who attempted and struggled with the course, honouring their pioneering efforts. Rosie emphasises her gratitude for their sacrifices and the path they paved, and she celebrates the progress made by women who came after her.
Rosie’s journey through P Company was marked by overcoming significant physical and mental challenges. From battling injuries at Sandhurst to enduring the rigorous demands of the course, she highlights the profound lessons learned through adversity. Her story delves into the stigma of injury, the psychological hurdles of being in rehabilitation, and the resilience required to persevere. With humility and insight, Rosie shares the importance of inspiring others through action and pursuing one’s passions, regardless of the outcome.
Lindsay and Rosie discuss how the unexpected can give valuable inspiration for leaders at all levels and underscores the power of mental resilience and genuine leadership.
