Speech Descriptions
HARNESSING HEADWINDS OF CHANGE
In flying, headwinds slow you down. At their worst, they cause you to change your plans and impact the effectiveness of weapons in combat. Headwinds demand that pilots be resilient and resourceful, literally on the fly. “Headwinds are the perfect metaphor for the change impacting organizations and individuals today,” says 21-year Air Force veteran Nicole Malachowski.

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE: BEING THE BEST WHEN IT COUNTS
In flying, headwinds slow you down. At their worst, they cause
you to change your plans and impact the effectiveness of weapons in
combat. Headwinds demand that pilots be resilient and resourceful,
literally on the fly. “Headwinds are the perfect metaphor for the change
impacting organizations and individuals today,” says 21-year Air Force
veteran Nicole Malachowski. A former fighter squadron commander and
mission-ready pilot in three operational fighter squadrons and the first
woman to fly on the Air Force Thunderbirds, Nicole has the perfect
message to inspire audiences to think differently about the headwinds of
change they face – organizationally and personally. Drawing on her
extraordinary Air Force career, Nicole offers lessons on leadership,
followership, and overcoming adversity. She weaves storytelling with
breathtaking video from the cockpit of her jet as the Thunderbirds
execute precision turns, rolls, and loops – all just 36” from one
another at 400 mph and just 300 feet off the ground. Nicole’s keynote
helps audiences ignite their own indomitable spirit in order to succeed
far beyond what they might dream. “Failure isn’t fatal,” she says, “it’s
the price of entry if you want to achieve something great.”What does it take to be the best? The individuals and teams who
achieve at the highest levels have one thing in common: they push the
envelope and go to the edge of boundaries. They accomplish as much as
possible and do it to a standard of excellence. Pushing the envelope is
an aviation term for taking an aircraft to the maximum limits of its
abilities.
THE POWER OF CHALLENGING ASSUMPTIONS
The best organizations and leaders create cultures that engage and harness the diverse ideas, talents, and abilities of every person; one where challenging assumptions and the status quo drives extraordinary success. Nicole Malachowski knows about high-performance cultures and challenging assumptions.
The best organizations and leaders create cultures that engage
and harness the diverse ideas, talents, and abilities of every person;
one where challenging assumptions and the status quo drives
extraordinary success. Nicole Malachowski knows about high-performance
cultures and challenging assumptions. As a member of the elite Air Force
Thunderbirds flying demonstration team, the first woman to do so,
Nicole was part of a team that demanded flawless execution under extreme
circumstances. Yet, it would be wrong to define Nicole by simply
labeling her the first woman Thunderbird pilot – and that’s the point.
In order to create a culture that challenges assumptions, it’s important
to look beyond the obvious – beyond unconscious bias. In Nicole’s case,
the Thunderbirds were just two years of an exceptional 21-year Air
Force career during which she became a White House Fellow and adviser,
served at the Department of Defense, was a mission-ready pilot in three
operational squadrons and a fighter squadron commander, and served as a
combat pilot. As an Air Force leader, Nicole constantly challenged
assumptions by matching people’s values with the job to be done. In this
talk, Nicole draws on her distinguished career to offer inspiring
lessons for leaders and followers.
IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS
Nicole Malachowski has lived a life of service to others. Her commitment to making a difference was the foundation of a distinguished 21-year Air Force career and it continues to drive her work as an advocate on health care and veterans’ issues. First as a White House Fellow in the General Services Administration and later as the executive director of Joining Forces, a nationwide initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, Nicole rallied around service members, veterans, and their families and supported them through wellness, education, and employment opportunities.

unexpectedly ended her military career, Nicole viewed this as an
opportunity to cultivate a new perspective. She is now making a
difference in places she never expected – including healthcare – where
she works closely with patients and their medical practitioners to find
ways to focus on the whole person and not just the illness being
treated. In this presentation, Nicole inspires audiences with her
candor, authenticity, and humor, encouraging them to bring humanity back
into their own work and make a difference in the lives of those around
them.

“PUSHING THE ENVELOPE: BEING THE BEST WHEN IT COUNTS”
What does it take to be the best? The individuals and teams who achieve at the highest levels have one thing in common: they push the envelope and go to the edge of boundaries. They accomplish as much as possible and do it to a standard of excellence. Pushing the envelope is an aviation term for taking an aircraft to the maximum limits of its abilities. In the business world, pushing the envelope means knowing yourself – certainly knowing your limits – all while using every bit of your ability to maximize your performance, be your best and be consistent. As a combat-tested fighter pilot and a member of the military’s most elite group of aviators (1 in 2,000 USAF pilots become Thunderbird pilots), Nicole Malachowski inspires audiences with lessons learned from a distinguished 21-year career – giving them the courage to push the envelope in their own lives. That means using inevitable failures to launch to the next level…preparing for turbulence, because change is unrelenting and it is hard, but you must anticipate it…trusting in teammates’ skill and precision, while developing your own…and being mindful of the over-control that leads to performance malfunctions and mutes achievement. Nicole’s presentation provides an unforgettable and practical roadmap for individuals and organizations looking to make the most of their talents and efforts.THE POWER OF CHALLENGING ASSUMPTIONS
