Navigating the Skies with Confidence: How "Aviation Conversations" Can Support Your Journey




Meet Shannon Torres, a former counselor turned coach, equipped with a Master's Degree in counseling, a Private Pilot Certificate, and over four years of experience in the training department of a 121 carrier. She is the founder of Aviation Conversations and the host of our April Educational Seminar.


A Visionary Journey:

In the ever-evolving landscape of aviation, Shannon Torres emerges as a transformative figure, reshaping the conventional narrative surrounding aviation and mental health. Originally from Virginia, Shannon's journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of balance and personal well-being. Recognizing the struggle many pilots face in maintaining a healthy work-life equilibrium, Shannon challenges the status quo, firmly believing that this dichotomy is no longer inevitable.


Navigating Stress in Aviation:

Shannon's journey into coaching was sparked by a deep understanding of the stressors plaguing individuals both in and outside of the aviation industry. Recognizing that many pilots perceive a stark choice between achieving professional success and preserving personal well-being—juggling responsibilities such as maintaining a healthy work-life balance, managing stress, nurturing relationships, and prioritizing both physical and mental health—Shannon recognized the need for change. Determined to make a difference, she created a coaching business that operates in a confidential and medically non-reportable space. In doing so, Shannon provides a haven for pilots to address their personal and professional challenges.


Advocacy and Volunteering:

A proud member of WAI FLL, AOPA, and a dedicated volunteer for the Pilot Mental Health Campaign Data Collection subcommittee, Shannon is actively involved in challenging outdated rules and regulations surrounding mental and physical health barriers imposed by the government. Her advocacy work includes upcoming meetings in Washington, D.C., in March, aiming to drive positive change in the industry.
