Be the Calm or Be the Storm By Captain Sandy Yawn AudioBook Summary
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.
