Words from your course Educator...

What I have learnt is that great leadership requires an intricate tapestry of soft skills and a deep understanding of self. Having all the tickets/certificates behind you does not qualify you to be an exceptional leader nor does it automatically command respect. Your best leaders are the ones that are dedicated to learning and being the best version of themselves for their team. Leaders who don’t seeK the need to develop their leadership skills are the ones who are most at risk.

In most management courses, you’ll learn a lot of leadership theories and styles. While it’s important to understand the theory, it’s just as important to develop your own leadership style based on your unique strengths and talents. And this is exactly what we do in my signature leadership course; we hone in on your natural talent and reduce potential leadership risk.

Having degrees in organisational psychology, psychology, counselling and business, I have ensured that my students grow into confident and inspiring leaders. I am passionate about leadership as I have seen how poor leadership has negatively impacted individuals lives and as an industry, I believe, we are responsible for bringing this to an end. Our course is unique in that we nurture our students through 70 hours of coaching over three months which guarantees optimal leadership performance and success.

This is not your average leadership course, be prepared to experience long-lasting personal and professional transformation.

If we can teach leaders how to inspire greatness, not only will we have positive role models, we’ll also have a more engaged, productive and satisfied workforce.

We asked some of our students...

On a scale of 1 -10, how much value did you get from the course?

"TWENTY!!!! Hahaha definitely way more than a 10. ⁠This course has given me way more than I expected and it is so worth every penny and all the time in the world! You have truly been a magnificent coach & leader throughout all of this."

"10 - I got a lot of value from the course, I thoroughly enjoyed it, it pushed me to think outside of the box, I learnt more about myself, and I improved my leadership skills. I reached my goal to become 2nd stewardess, and I believe working with Karine helped me to reach these goals :)"

“The course exceeded my expectations and gave me tools to better manage my team.”

The course exceeded my expectations and gave me tools to better manage my team, and I definitely will grow as a leader. Thanks to the course, I can better recognise and understand my team members’ behaviours, and address any possible issues sooner. I have become more approachable and open towards the team members and their needs. My relationships with the team have improved. Thanks to the course and the tools I was given, it was much easier to handle the difficult time of the Covid-19 lockdown and busy operational times. I managed to keep the team motivated and happy. I would recommend the course to the Captains and Heads of Departments in yachting.

“I loved the course so much and I'm really proud of how far I've come, my confidence has grown.”

I was surprised how much I really needed some external guidance and support when I wasn't getting it on board. My confidence started growing again, I got positive and constructive feedback from my workmates, and I learnt so much about myself, and also improved my leadership skills. The best part was seeing me reach all of the goals I set at the start. Thank you very much Karine for your support & guidance! I loved the course so much and I'm really proud of how far I've come, my confidence has grown and I reached the goals I set out to achieve with the course :)

“

It was a great course with a lot of valuable content and definitely a course that makes you think and dig deep within yourself.

I think all the content was put together very well, and a lot of thought and care went into it. I think the fact that the course is created by someone with a yachting background and understanding of the industry, and its difficulties are invaluable and definitely shows in the content and the interactions. The reason why I chose to do The Crew Coach Advanced Leadership Course specifically was that I wanted to be a positive leader and someone that the Crew can look up to and approach with any issues. I wanted to be a positive role model and leave a positive impact behind.

In addition, I wanted to regain my sense of self-belief and to take the step up to becoming a captain. Now that I have completed the course I have already made a lot of positive changes and a career progression is on the horizon. I think further on down the line this will be affirmed when I receive positive feedback and affirmations from people that I work with and not just from my own opinions. What I have come to realise since completing the course is that I really do just need to believe in myself and trust that I have the knowledge, skills and attitude to become a valuable and respected crew member. A lot of people struggle with their own and similar insecurities, and having a group support system is invaluable for personal growth and development.

“Wow!! This course is life-changing! I went into this not knowing how deep we would be going and had no idea how much self-reflection it would entail, it truly pushed me out of my comfort zone and into my growth zone!

My leadership goals before this course were very vague, I wanted to be a transformational leader but what did that mean?!? Karine helped me analyse and break this goal into tangible steps. One of the biggest takeaways from this course is that I found self-doubt is one of my biggest barriers. One of my goals was to be better at communicating and articulating myself as I felt that was an area that was limiting my ability to be an exceptional leader. After receiving the feedback survey from my crew, I was pleasantly surprised by the results as they showed that in fact I am good at communicating and articulating myself and perhaps the area that needs more attention is my self-doubt.

Don't think twice about doing this course! This Leadership course will benefit you professionally and personally in ways you couldn't imagine. Get ready to find out who you are, what makes you tick, why you are here and how you can become a transformational leader!

Sign me up for the next course! Thank you, Karine, I'm so grateful to have had the pleasure of attending this incredible course facilitated by you, it exceeded my expectations and was just... transformational!"

"It was a great course with a lot of valuable content and definitely a course that makes you think and dig deep within yourself. "

I think the course can only go from strength to strength the longer it is around and the more people become aware of it. It is important to know and to stress that it is not a course that is more for the "interior" crew in fact it is excellent for crew working on deck! Male crew should be especially more willing and open to enrolling in this course. The valuable impact it will have on them and consequently, the industry is limitless. This course is a great tool to help you realise your mistakes, the possible errors in your leadership style. The content guides you to becoming a better leader and to leave a positive impact on the industry going forward.
