Classic Aero-TV: Rod Machado At WAI 2011 -- Having Confidence and Tenacity

From 2011 (YouTube Version): More Wit, and Wisdom, And Then More Wit From Rod Machado

In the second of two pieces we've prepared from Rod Machado's marvelous speeches at 2011 Women in Aviation Conference, Rod talks about (in addition to many other things) two issues of uncommon value to those of us in aviation... Confidence and Tenacity.

This year's Women In Aviation conference has always had much to recommend it... but one of the better ones that we know of... (dare we say it...) happens to be a GUY! Yeah... the WAI is definitely an equal opportunity event... especially when it comes to attracting talented folks from all over the aviation community. After all, no one plays as well to an aviation crowd as aviation humorist, flight instructor and safety advocate, Rod Machado.

Rod is a professional speaker who travels across the United States and Europe delighting his listeners with upbeat and lively presentations. Machado truly loves mixing it up with the audience. His unusual talent for simplifying the difficult and adding humor to make the lessons stick has made him a popular lecturer both in and out of aviation. Rod’s presentations include topics as diverse as Risk Assessment, Defensive Flying and Handling In-flight Emergencies. His non-aviation topics include: Safety Awareness programs, Humor as a Communication Tool and The Lost Art of Thinking.

Flying since 1970 and instructing since 1973, Rod has well over 8,000 hours of flight time earned the hard way—one CFI hour at a time. Since 1977 he has taught hundreds of flight instructor revalidation clinics and safety seminars and he was named the 1991 Western Region Flight Instructor of the Year. Rod holds all fixed-wing (powered) flight instructor ratings as well as an airline transport pilot license. He also owns an A36 Bonanza.

He is, though, most of all, a passionate and positive spokesman for aviators everywhere and an excellent proponent for all things aviation.
