Leadership under sail - clarifying time on the "Black Bird"
A leadership retreat at sea for people who want to take responsibility, make decisions and maintain inner calm - even in the face of headwinds.
You can't change the direction of the wind - but you can set the sails correctly.
Sailing is leadership in real life: limited space, changing conditions, clear decisions.
On the historic sailing yacht "Black Bird", leadership becomes tangible. Three intensive days at sea that teach you to stay calm under pressure, sharpen communication and lead with confidence.
What awaits you
🌊 Communication & decision-making under pressure
🧭 Self-leadership in unpredictable situations
💬 Reflection on leadership behavior, team dynamics & responsibility
🌬️ Improvisation & flexibility in dealing with wind and waves
🔥 Conversations on deck & in the cabin - honest, in-depth, practical
🌅 Nature as a mirror - insights that stick
Target group
Managers, entrepreneurs and small teams (1 - 3 people) who want to
want to experience their leadership behavior in real situations,
want to communicate better and make decisions with confidence,
want to lead themselves and others confidently, even in the face of headwinds.
Learning fields at sea
- The art of improvisation
When conditions change, flexibility is required. When do I stay the course, when do I change it?
- Self-management under pressure
You are responsible for the ship, crew and destination. How do you stay calm, focused and able to act?
- Nature as a mirror
Wind and waves show you your limits - and your strength. Every movement at sea teaches you presence and confidence.
- Motivation & purpose
"If you want to build a ship, you have to awaken a longing for the sea in people." Leadership comes from attitude, not from instructions.
