Frequently Asked Questions

Michelle Huntington Keynote Speaker | Leadership, Aviation Experience and Corporate Events in Australia

How do I choose the right keynote speaker for a corporate event in Australia?
How does aviation experience enhance motivational speaking?

Start with your outcome.

What do you want people to walk away doing differently?

Then look for someone with real experience, not just opinions. Australian audiences respond well to practical stories, clear ideas, and a speaker who understands local culture.

A strong keynote speaker brings useful tools and a message that sticks long after the event ends.

 

Aviation teaches calm thinking under pressure, disciplined decision making, and clear communication when the stakes are high.

These lessons translate directly to work and leadership.

When speakers share aviation stories, the ideas land fast because they are grounded in lived experience, not theory.

Who offers talks on thriving under pressure in Australia?

Australia has several speakers who focus on performing under pressure. I’m one of them.

My work comes from years as a commercial airline captain and my focus is helping teams make better decisions when things get messy. There are also other speakers specialising in pressure performance, resilience, and leadership across the country.

Event organisers often look for speakers with real-world experience, especially in complex environments like aviation.

 

What are the benefits of leadership talks for business teams in Australia?

Leadership talks prompt teams to think differently, improve clarity, and act with more confidence.

They can shift how people communicate, handle pressure, and make decisions.

A good session gives teams a shared language to use the next day, not just a moment of inspiration.

 

Who are the best keynote speakers specialising in leadership in Sydney?

Sydney has strong leadership speakers across business, education, aviation, sport, and the military. Each one brings a different angle.

My approach comes from cockpit discipline and the tools leaders use when situations change fast. Companies book me when they want a mix of story, clarity, and step-by-step tools people can apply immediately.

 

What topics does Michelle Huntington cover in her leadership talks in Australia?

I speak on decision making under pressure, anti-fragile leadership, clarity in communication, thinking differently, and how to lead when everything around you feels uncertain.

My talks blend aviation stories with practical tools your team can use straight away.

 

Who is Michelle Huntington and what is her experience as a motivational speaker?

I’m a former airline captain, keynote speaker, author of Lady MacGyver, and co-host of Captain and the Clown.

I’m one of a small group of women worldwide (500) who have held the captain’s seat on a commercial airline.

I now help leaders and teams think clearly under pressure and take action with confidence.

 

Where can I find motivational speakers for corporate events in Australia?

Start with speaker bureaus, industry associations, and trusted networks. Many companies find speakers through referrals, conferences, or direct contact.

You can book me through my website if you’re looking for someone with aviation experience, clear tools, and an engaging style.

 

Your event deserves a keynote that gives people something real to use. My leadership and aviation background helps teams think clearly under pressure, communicate with confidence, and act with purpose when things get messy.
