The brain before the decision
What happens in the brain in the seconds before you act, and why rested, mature mental mechanics decide better.
Felt in the cockpit
A leadership experience at Subang Airport
LeadershipthroughAviation
Take your leaders out of the meeting room and onto a working airfield. In the hangar and in the cockpit, Peter's neuro-behaviour science stops being theory: your team feels what pressure does to a decision, and learns what to do about it.

Why an airfield
Where pressure is real, the lesson stays.
Pilots are trained to decide well when time is short and the stakes are high. That is exactly where Peter has tested his neuro-behaviour science for thirty years: in cockpits, on sniper ranges and in boardrooms.
Leadership through Aviation brings that training ground to your team, at the home of Air Adventure Flying Club, where Peter is Vice President.

The science underneath
Neuro-Psycho-Emotionality.
The day is built on the Neuro-Psycho-Emotional lens Peter uses in his keynotes. Every moment at the airfield is chosen to make one of its three layers visible.
Reading risk and each other
Checklists, briefings and crew talk: how high performers read risk, rules and the people beside them.
Felt in the briefing and walk-aroundThe pressure underneath
The psycho-emotional reactions underneath every action, and how to keep them from steering.
Felt on the apron and in the debrief“Time and psycho-emotional pressure will only be subdued when the mental mechanism is mature, operating at high standards and rested.”Captain Peter Jähne
The day, as the film shows it
01
Briefing in the clubhouse
Peter opens the day in the club's briefing room, among aircraft models and flying memorabilia, with the science behind it.
Psycho02
The walk-around
Into the hangar with the instructors: the aircraft, the checks, and the discipline that keeps crews safe.

In the left seat
Participants take the pilot's seat of a training aircraft. The pulse rises. That is the point.
Neuro · Emotional04
Out on the apron
The team moves together across a live airfield, as one crew, under the club's rules.
Emotional05
One crew,
back to work
The debrief runs live, for every participant, all through the exercises. One to two weeks later, a follow-up debrief lets it sink in: coaching on how to apply it in your own work environment.
