Fighter Pilot Parent

★ MY EXPERTISE – The evolution and ultimate success of a Navy Fighter Pilot is linked to a system that maximizes human performance, optimally manages fear, and places the highest premium on leadership. Having evolved in this unique incubator, I became motivated to convert this precious system in support of those I love and care most about – my own kids. The lessons, tools, and takeaways in this book have truly been written in blood and are reflected in first-hand accounts and personal stories. ★ WHO GETS RESULTS – Although designed for Parents, this book is for those motivated to support someone’s life journey, in such a valuable way, that they arrive healthy in mind, body and spirit, and are legitimate people of consequence, whether they be kids, teams, or employees. ★ HOW I DO THIS – I provide critical insights on self-leadership and core values. I introduce the concept of controlled failure and its irreplaceable value. I share strategies for building body, mind, social, and spirit strength and balance. I include tools to avoid insidious recognition inflation. And I highlight the four most powerful adversity defenses – Faith, Family, Friends, and Fun. ★ WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING: "I love the way Brick Conners engages you with stimulating stories from his fighter pilot career, and then drops a bomb on parenting myths. I’ve used him for years to lecture my classes at USC, Pepperdine and the Naval Postgraduate School and recommend him thoroughly. If you want to land some great parenting skills, then take flight with this book. Alan E.
