Awareness before Autopilot

Mental Health Awareness Week at Texel Air

During Texel Air's Mental Health Awareness Week, I had the privilege of speaking to around 50 employees about a simple but powerful idea:

Awareness before Autopilot.

In a world that constantly asks us to do more, move faster, and stay connected, it's easy to lose connection with ourselves.

In this 11-minute talk, I explore:

Why so many of us automatically answer "I'm fine" when we're not.

How modern life quietly pushes us onto autopilot.

Two personal stories that changed the way I think about awareness.

A simple practice to help reconnect with yourself in everyday life.

My hope is that this talk encourages you to pause, reflect, and notice the moments that often pass unnoticed.
