At First Class Leaders, we take the guesswork out of leadership by equipping pilots like you with a personalized autopilot, enabling you to navigate interpersonal challenges with precision and confidence.
Nearly every pilot has faced the challenge of working alongside a co-pilot, flight attendant, or other team member where things don’t seem to click.
It's rarely a matter of intention; more often, it's a clash of personalities or a simple misunderstanding.
Recognizing this is the first step toward upgrading your aviation leadership skills.
Our signature workshops are designed to equip you with the tools and the skills to navigate these complexities, turning potential conflicts into opportunities for growth and improved teamwork.
Our pilot leadership workshop is designed to equip pilots with 50 or 50,000 hours of flight experience with a personalized "autopilot" tool called DiSC Catalyst so they can effectively navigate and conquer the complexities and challenges of leadership within aviation.
DiSC Catalyst is a tool that helps you effectively manage challenging personalities, alleviate the strain of misunderstandings, and cultivate smooth interactions with your crew.
DiSC also gives you personalized insights into your leadership style and actionable steps to develop your confidence and influence as a leader.
Investing in your leadership skills is an invaluable asset in the dynamic aviation industry. At just $699 plus tax, this training offers a wealth of knowledge and practical tools essential for navigating the complexities of leadership roles.
This workshop offers a unique feature that sets it apart: lifetime access to the DiSC Catalyst tool. This advanced communication tool is designed to act as your personalized "autopilot" for enhancing your people and leadership skills.
We focus on maximizing value through in-depth discussions, connection-building, networking, and collaboration. With class sizes limited to just 12 people, sessions remain intimate and engaging, fostering shared experiences that propel us forward together.
Our in-person workshops are currently exclusive to CYYZ Airport. (Virtual workshops are available). Watch for upcoming announcements as we expand to new locations, broadening global access to our transformative leadership course.

From the moment I took my first flight lesson at the tender age of 11, the sky has been my second home. My journey in aviation has been a thrilling ride, culminating in a distinguished career as an Air Canada Captain. With over 10,000 hours of flight experience, I've navigated the skies across continents, weathered storms, and embraced the serene beauty of the clouds.
My experience has not only honed my skills as a pilot but also shaped me into an effective, safe, and engaging leader. I understand the intricacies of cockpit dynamics, the pressures of decision-making at 35,000 feet, and the exhilarating joy of flying. This journey has instilled in me a profound appreciation for the art of aviation and the nuanced skills required to lead in this unique environment.
My approach to coaching is grounded in the principle of guiding rather than instructing. I believe in empowering aspiring aviators to discover their own strengths, navigate their challenges, and chart their course to success. Leadership in aviation is not just about technical proficiency; it's about understanding people, inspiring confidence, and fostering a collaborative spirit.
My role is to help you uncover these skills within yourself, offering insights drawn from my extensive experience while encouraging you to develop your own style. This journey is about more than acquiring knowledge; it's about personal growth, expanding your horizons, and learning to lead with both head and heart.
