The Seven Skill Sets for Solving Problems Before the Emergency Lights Start Flashing
Every high-performing team needs a framework for the moment something breaks, one that's built and practiced long before the crisis hits. Jason breaks down the same three-step protocol he trained on as a pilot, aviate, navigate, communicate, and the seven skill sets underneath it, using the Apollo 13 crisis as the case study: professional knowledge, situational awareness, assertiveness, decision-making, communication, leadership, and adaptability. Drawn from his book, No Fail Trust.
This program is perfect for leaders and teams:
Who get rattled by unexpected problems instead of moving through them calmly
Who need a shared vocabulary for how the team handles pressure, not just individual heroics
Who want a keynote that connects directly to a framework they can keep using after the event
The audience will leave with:
The Aviate, Navigate, Communicate framework for staying in control when something breaks
The Seven Skill Sets that make high-trust problem-solving repeatable instead of accidental
A clear read on which of the seven skill sets is their team's biggest gap right now
From City Streets to Cockpit Seats to Summit Peaks: Resilience, One Step at a Time
Some talk about adversity. Jason lived it.
Raised in a single-parent home on inner-city streets, he was supposed to become a statistic. Instead he made it to the cockpit, piloting missions for elite special operations forces, and on to above 19,000 feet on the volcanoes of Chile's Atacama Desert. Using the mountain as a map for life, Jason gives audiences a simple way through anything.
Not a leadership lecture. A knockdown, high-energy keynote that leaves people ready to run through a brick wall.
The audience will leave with an understanding of the Next Step Method:
Reframe. Challenge the inner voice, the outside voices and the perspective you inherited.
Reset. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate: the pilot's rule for one thing at a time when everything hits at once.
Step. Shrink the mountain to the one step in front of you, and take it today.
“You don't conquer the mountain. You conquer the next step.”
