“As an individual, the common sense aspect of it: their ability to make decisions quickly. So the ability to know when to follow blindly and when to question.”

“Team is everything, and if you don’t have that you’re by yourself, and when you’re by yourself facing another team, you’re not going to go to well.”

“When we’re talking about leadership, I think it is having the emotional intelligence to recognise that, but also including others also on that journey is an important lesson that I’ve taken away.”

“How often do we acknowledge the great work that people do in teams? To get someone working together, or a team working together, with a bit of positive reinforcement, not always, but at the right time, can achieve amazing results.”

“It is always at the back of my mind going, “Well, it’s never just enough having a 9-5 job for me.” It’s about bettering myself, how do I help someone what am I going to involve myself in next, what project am I going to assist in.”

“It is that sense of purpose, achieving, coming together as a team to achieve remarkable thing in circumstances that often you would think, “You know what, if I was civilian, or before my training, I don’t think I could do that. I don’t think I could have achieved that. I don’t think I’d have the confidence to do that.” So it is the sense of confidence, training, ability, mindset; I think that’s the biggest thing, the change in mindset.”
