Focus on Why

My podcast with Amy Rowlinson 10 August 2022

“Never lose focus on the objective. Share your mental model with people around you and then everybody knows what you’re trying to achieve.”⠀

Standing in the school playground aged seven to watch an Aer Lingus plane fly overhead was when Cyril Mannion’s absolute passion for flying started. Yet despite his natural aptitude for flying, it took Cyril 42 years for his dream to come true.

During his long journey to the command of long-haul Boeing jets, his aviation career had many twists and turns. He first served as an RAF Hercules navigator and Tornado fighter pilot instructor to finally fulfil his purpose to become an airline captain. Cyril followed his own advice; to never lose focus.⠀
 ⠀
Captain Cyril retired from flying Boeing 777s in 2010 and is now an entertaining speaker specialising in simplifying aviation topics for non-technical audiences. He tells tales from his flying experiences and inspires his audiences to play the long game and keep sight of their aims.⠀
