From Capt. Brad Fisher, pilot mentor co-ordinator and 747 Captain
Graham Hood
Graham is a testament to “walking the walk” His big big heart is in the forefront of all his actions; and he allows all of us a window in to it. He has travelled a journey that most of us can only imagine. Lesser men would have given up, but not “Hoody”, he has become stronger and overcome adversity, he has become a master of his profession and life, and his learning’s are now available to all who want to draw a line in the sand and elevate their lives to the level of having a “full and meaningful” existence.
He has inspirational energy to support other people who need it. The first thing that struck me when I met him is -that he is open and trustworthy. I would trust this man with my life.
His no nonsense style is best described as down to earth, and he immediately allows anyone to meet him on any level no matter where they are at, in their personal journey. There is no judgment from Hoody only unconditional acceptance gained from his own personal growth.
He has become a leader, a respected elder amongst his community of airline pilots and has mentored many a young person. His no nonsense and compassionate approach in respectfully calling people on their self limiting behaviours, and, in the meantime also honouring and drawing out young peoples unseen gifts and strengths.
Hoody carries his religion in his heart, and yet has never imposed his beliefs on me, I am not a part of his church or religion and its personally not for me, and yet his graciousness has meant he has never imposed his beliefs on me, nor have I felt less worth or judgement from him. I believe his vision has people at its core and I intend to assist both he and Michelle in their wonderful vision for people and the community.
