Delivering Flawless Execution - Setting Goals & Achieving Them -Consistently

Christian "Boo" Boucousis leads Afterburner in Asia, a high-performing team of men and women who are real-life fighter pilots and military aviators. The Afterburner pilots are passionate about helping people learn through applying the tactics they have used every day during their operations to achieve a consistent mission success rate of 98%. Afterburner has delivered training programs, team building events and embedded consulting programs to over 3,500 Companies and 3,000,000 people over 23 years.

Afterburner's lead speaker, facilitator and coach, Christian "Boo" Boucousis, was a fighter pilot for 11 years before becoming a successful entrepreneur and published author. At 19, Boo was recruited into the Royal Australian Air Force as a pilot and reached the pinnacle of his career as a Squadron Leader, before his medical discharge for a chronic auto immune disorder. At 30 years of age Boo moved to Afghanistan, where he founded CTG Global, a Humanitarian business delivering projects on behalf of United Nations agencies. After successfully growing the business, he sold it four years later. Today CTG is a multi-million-dollar company with operations spanning the globe. Boo transitioned into business in property development and hospitality, where he completed a two-year project in just 11 months. The project set a record for construction of a 17-storey structure in only 11 weeks.

Boo is the co-author of "On Time - On Target: How teams and companies can cut through complexity and get things done...the fighter pilot way."

Afterburner demonstrates that no matter who you are, you can sustainably exceed your expectations and goals. The Afterburner team takes you on a journey, immersing you into their unique world. Through storytelling, video and music, they demonstrate what it truly takes to be a fighter pilot. They speak on:

  • Flawless Execution: A simple four-step process that creates clarity, motivation, continuous improvement, agility and accountability for you and your team - Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief
  • Creating Agile Teams: Centralized planning and decentralized execution.
  • Developing Highly Effective Leaders: Reducing the complex challenge of effective leadership to simple tools and techniques.
  • Safety & Performance Excellence: Simple, scalable and iterative processes focused on improving teamwork and collaboration.
  • Operational Excellence: Operational excellence underpins the systems and standards fighter pilots use to execute their strategies.

Boo and his wing men also speak on Trust and Integrity, the importance of Situational Awareness and Clarity, Resilience in the face of change, managing High Performance Teams and Thinking like a Founder.

  • Boo was a RAAF fighter pilot for over a decade and has gone on to run thriving businesses in property development and international humanitarian support.
