Soaring beyond limits. Michelle Huntington is a force to be reckoned with. On this episode of the Power Of Women podcast, Michelle shares her amazing journey from a childhood dream of flying to becoming an Airline Captain in a male-dominated industry, where there are only 500 female airline captains globally. She shares her remarkable determination in turning her dream of flying into reality, the importance of representation for women in aviation, and how her experiences shaped her identity. Listen to how she flew a 4-seater, single engine plane, solo from the USA to Australia in five days!
Michelle emphasises the need for resilience and a mindset of perseverance, encouraging others to keep pushing their boundaries. She has a fabulous mantra which she has taken from the cockpit to everyday life: Keep going until you can’t. Fasten your seatbelt.
