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.

"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.
