REACH YOUR HORIZON:
Experiential learning for the adventurous leader.
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD YOUR TEAM TO GREATNESS, BECAUSE YOU SEE THEIR INDIVIDUAL POTENTIAL.
Now you’re ready to:
- Organize your crew for maximum efficiency.
- Take the helm to navigate away from your comfort zone into uncharted territory.
- Journey to destinations most haven't even dreamed were possible!
Maybe you've tried:
- Reading business books about getting from here to there… but finding it too general.
- Asking other executives what they do… but the advice isn’t all that relevant.
- Hiring traditional team-building speakers… only to feel let down by the actual impact on your team.
If you've tried it all but still feel you’re getting nowhere, I’ll let you in on a little secret: Most of the hazards of sailing are found closest to harbor.
That’s where you’re most likely to hit an obstacle. Once out of harbor, the horizon opens up and you can make space to breathe.
The same is true in business -- once you’ve made your plans and preparations, and reached “proof of concept,” you’ll be ready for time away -- for deeper introspection and to savor the rewards of earlier efforts.
Having built not one but two successful service businesses in the Front Range of Colorado, working with groups of technical experts, I know the challenges and pitfalls of working with teams.
And having sailed in seas worldwide with my family members as first mates and cabin buddies, I’ve learned a thing or two about navigating communications challenges. (Extended time in close quarters = where personal growth opportunities abound!)
That’s why I developed this sailing coaching practice.
I see so many parallels between business and sailing. I want to transfer some of the lessons I’ve learned to you.
I designed these programs to help you discover the kinks in the ropes of your daily challenges, in a fun and novel way.
What if instead of hosting breakout sessions, you hosted a trip to break away from it all?
Like most of us, you and your crew could probably benefit from learning additional best practices around interpersonal relationships.
In the real-world, physically demanding setting of sailing, you’ll quickly build trust, develop loyalty, and discover new perspectives while working toward a unified goal.
Challenges that arise when sailing with your crew will mirror those at your workplace. Stretch goals present themselves in a snap.
On the ship’s deck, you’ll notice your crew’s hidden talents and strengths -- insights hardly ever found sitting in dull conference room.
