Leading Beyond Limits with former NASA Astronaut Eileen Collins, first American Woman to Command a Space Shuttle Mission (Part 1) Episode 307

In honor of National Space Week, we're excited to bring you part 1 of this two-part interview series with Eileen Collins, retired U.S. Air Force colonel and first American woman commander of a space shuttle. Our conversation dove deep into what it really takes to lead with authenticity, push through barriers, and stay focused on your personal mission, even when the odds are stacked against you. Eileen shared how embracing her true self — not trying to fit a mold or mimic others — helped her stand out and succeed in one of the most high-pressure careers imaginable. Eileen shares insights from her book, 'Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars,' discussing authenticity, overcoming hurdles, and the importance of being true to oneself. She provides a detailed account of her internal journey, mentorship experiences, handling high-stress situations.
