Testimonial from OC Aircrew SERE Training Centre.
Jay was invited to speak to our students, here at the Robson Academy of Resilience’s Aircrew SERE Training Centre, who had been undergoing rigorous and arduous survival training as part of their preparation for flying.
Students were drawn from across Defence including the RN, Army, and RAF.
Engaging and clearly passionate about helping others, she held a very tired audience captivated and immediately energised them with a practical exercise in demonstrating stress and resilience.
Jay, who epitomises the very essence of our motto Animus invictus’ meaning unbroken or unconquered spirit shared with candour, her personal experiences that led her to becoming an accomplished and successful athlete, therapist, and coach.
Jay’s delivery was polished, heart felt and impactful; she filled our students with hope and with offered and pragmatic additions to their own toolbox of life to help in the face of the adversity they will undoubtedly encounter in their own careers as they are tasked to put themselves in harm’s way.
Moving, meaningful and incredibly helpful, Jay’s account of her own story was well received and the feedback from students and staff alike was incredibly positive; they were grateful for the opportunity to receive guidance and counsel directly from someone with such profound lived experience and from someone who has developed effective strategies to counter the negativity and emotional collapse that can come after trauma.
