Triple IMPACT

Senior leaders who join The Leaders Ship experience a triple 'wow'

  • An exciting adventure, disconnected from the daily hassle
  • Signifiant growth in their personal leadership style
  • Tangible useful insights for their strategic challenges

Our trips are designed around collaboration and exchange.  We sail together, sleep and eat together, share insights and experiences.  

We provide a structured approach to personal and professional development mixed with an extraordinary sailing adventure.

Our concept

At The Leaders Ship we believe in the power of

  • Stepping out of the comfort zone
  • Connecting with like-minded senior leaders
  • Sharing challenges and experiences
  • Reflecting on the (dis)advantages of your leadership style
  • Committing to a personal and professional growth path
  • With the support of a former CEO and leadership coach

We therefore organize trips around three central ideas

  • A crew of like-minded senior leaders, in which every one can learn from and contribute to the group
  • A central theme, to ensure a common interest and to stimulate learning from each other
  • A structured method for personal and professional growth by a senior executive coach, combined with awesome sailing

Why senior leaders ?

We believe many professionals can benefit from development and support.  So why do we only focus on leaders who are at the head of an organization ? 

We believe that the role of a senior leader is unique because of the paradoxes and systemic complexities they face in their choices.  Nothing is obvious, and everything is connected.  

Even though most senior leaders have sounding boards, directors, and colleagues to share thoughts and ideas, in the end, they have to decide where to be bold, where to be cautious, where to aim for and how to get there.

For senior leaders, nothing is obvious, everything is connected

  • Bringing change while maintaining stability
  • Balancing short-term results with long-term transformation
  • Delegating responsibilities while maintaining control
  • Being a vulnerable and confident leader at the same time
  • Optimizing results while driving ESG initiatives
  • Showing empathy while setting high expectations.
  • ...

Our themes

A common interest, to maximize useful insights

Working with a central theme ensures that everyone can contribute to each other's learning.   
Present your case, share your experience, and bring useful concrete insights back to your organization.

Rest assured, during the trip, many other topics will also be addressed.  

Leadership and Connection

For senior leaders who want to dive deep into their personal leadership style, understand their levers for personal growth, and commit to impactful development.

* A deep understanding of the qualities, drawbacks, biases, and mindset you bring to your organization
* Honing of fundamental skills such as impactful listening and asking better questions
* Capturing personal insights into a commitment action plan

Strategy

A plan is not a strategy. A goal is not a strategy. An investment is not a strategy. So what makes a good strategy ?

With the combined experience of a strong group of senior leaders and under the guidance of a veteran board member and senior strategy consultant, you will broaden and sharpen your strategic thinking at the same time. Expect significant impact on how you see your business going forward.
Planned trips

Planned trips
