Leadership lessons from Captain Sandy Yawn, a renowned superyacht
captain with over 30 years of international maritime experience,
and star of the reality show Below Deck Mediterranean. Everyone
experiences a moment in life when they need to lead. Sometimes it's
a team, sometimes it's a company, a classroom, a patient ward, a
family, or simply your own individual self. Based on the leadership
lessons she's gathered from her resourceful and resilient life,
Captain Sandy, a superyacht captain and star of Bravo's Below Deck
Mediterranean, shares the leadership skills and critical thinking
inherent to being a captain that can empower anyone to navigate
their way to a successful life. Among some of the stories/lessons
she'll share: – How she selects and sizes up her crew even before
embarking on a charter, deciding who to invest in and how to bring
out their best. – Things happen at sea. No matter how much you
plan and train, so much can go wrong so she'll discuss the level of
persistence and faith that's required in solving an especially
knotty problem. – Authority and discipline are required to lead,
but they must be leavened with compassion, understanding, and a
desire to see your crew succeed. – She describes the seamless
flow that happens in great teamwork and how she loves seeing the
way her deckhands pitch in with the stews when needed. For Captain
Sandy, this represents leading with empathy, figuring out who your
teammates are and what motivates them, then communicating in a way
that motivates and makes them feel understood. – As a captain,
Sandy is constantly upgrading her knowledge and skill set, which is
as much a part of her job as steering a vessel. Sustaining
excellence requires constant effort, whether you find yourself at
the end of a journey, halfway through or at the start of a new one.
And the learning never stops. Woven throughout her stories are
Captain Sandy's optimism and abiding faith that, given the right
tools and opportunities, individuals are capable of so much more
than they realize, especially when they can find someone to believe
in them.
