Jo Salter MBE
Britain’s first-ever female fighter pilot, Jo Salter is a former RAF pilot whose extensive military career continues to fascinate people up and down the country. From being behind the controls of a Tornado GR1 flying through the airspace to standing in front of large audiences, Jo’s experience of peak performance is second to none and is what makes her one of the most invaluable business speakers around. Available to hire as a business speaker for all sorts of personal and corporate events, Jo’s experiences from her time in the military transcend the industry and are able to resonate with professionals who are looking for high performance in all career types.
At the age of 18, Jo made the decision to join the Royal Air Force with the intention of becoming an engineering officer. However, soon after joining the British government announced that women would be allowed to fly as pilots from 1992. Unable to resist such an opportunity, she trained to fly aircraft and was officially awarded her wings at the first available chance in 1992. At all of her keynote speaking occasions Jo is able to discuss with audiences what this moment was like, inspiring others to go forward and achieve their dreams.
In 1994, Jo was declared ‘combat ready’ and carried out operations overseas. This announcement made her the first woman in British history to operate the Tornado ground attack aircraft, and she frequently took part in military missions. This includes flying from Turkey and Saudi Arabia to protect no-fly zones over Iraq. As one of the most popular business speakers around, Jo can draw on these experiences to teach people a variety of life skills including peak performance, teamwork and how to handle pressure.
Jo left the military in 2000 and since then has worked as a highly-sought after motivational and business speaker. Plus, she’s written a number of books outlining people how to make positive changes in their lives or careers.
