SKiPA – LEAD & SAiL

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

First set the course, then hoist the sails: on board the LEAD & SA!L Crew, leadership doesn't show itself in theory but in the next manoeuvre. I combine decades of experience as a Yachtmaster Offshore with systemic leadership training into a role that hardly exists in this combination elsewhere – not a sailing instructor who coaches on the side, but a trainer who knows what leadership feels like under real wind.

"Sailing with heart and mind", as one participant described it after her trip – 5 out of 5 stars, 17 reviews.

My certifications: RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (commercial endorsed), RYA Cruising Instructor, MSVÖ FB3/ICC, Leadership Trainer, Systemic Coach & Supervisor, Open System Consultant.

One positive experience richer.....

...... that's how I would describe my trip with Skipa Frank. His competence and experience both as skipper and as coach were, although I already have several thousand miles behind me as a skipper, an enrichment for me.

Brilliant experience

Frank is a super experienced skipper who knew how to give his crew the feeling of safety. He is a great communicator. I had loads of fun – my expectations of a sailing trip were fully met. Any time again.

An eventful and memorable week in Kvarner Bay lies behind me/us.
This wealth of experience – I've truly earned this week!
This week, I've really got something to talk about, and I can take so much away from it and put it into practice at home! What's really striking is that these principles apply in every system, they're universally applicable – in private life too. Real added value.

450 miles full of experiences in the comfort zone, and in our panic zones!
There were a few challenges, and the odd hard nut to crack. Sailing is so varied, and can bring so much joy, especially when you can also laugh at yourself.

... with mooring to the buoy or alongside the quay wall.
I'm curious, because it's got dark. We check the first bearings and turn our theoretical knowledge into practical competence. A specific sound emerges – namely the sound of 'the penny dropping' (SK!PA humour)! The sound occurs quite frequently, and we have another laugh. What rubbish you can talk when the day is long, and what you can take with a sense of humour....

My boss said I'd done really good work over the past year and deserved something special: "But boss, I've never been on a sailing boat before...!" To arguments like seasickness, lack of expertise and completely uncharted territory, there were only better counter-arguments: "Well, B, you're always saying yourself that you're curious, that you like challenges, and that you need to reflect on your own self-efficacy."
