We have 30 years of experience supporting leaders to develop by pushing the boundaries of their comfort zone and enhancing their awareness of their own leadership style. We are delighted to partner with the Clipper Race Skippers and Mates to enhance their leadership skills through practical, experiential learning. We’ll be helping them to be the very best they can be in high pressure situations, enabling these leaders to get the best out of their teams whilst racing around the world.”
