WINDJAMMING IN THE CARIBBEAN

Sailing Through Business (STB) is a unique and exciting program that uses the exciting elements of "Blue-Water" sailing to help businesses organize and operate in a more productive, practical and profitable way. Conducted aboard a first-class Windjammer, STB helps to dramatically improve your team's business

behaviors, enhancing their interpersonal relationships while building on their professional strengths to achieve better more sustainable results in the workplace. And we will build lasting memories while doing it.

Five days of world-class sailing are coupled with business skills development where you can expect:

  • Engaging seminar instruction each morning (with breakfast) and afternoon (squeezed in between swizzle time and dinner)
  • Availability of instructors/facilitators for focused and private one-on-one coaching and counseling
  • All materials necessary to take full advantage of the instruction and provide take-away tools for skills retention and integration
  • "Lifeboat Simulation" that focuses your people on targeted goal setting, critical decision-making and effective teaming in revealing ways that will amaze you
  • STB sailing shirt for fun and coffee mug to keep at work
Plus… so much more!

First, while the Captain and crew prepare to make your sailing experience memorable, we will be working with your leadership to customize and personalize the program your people will participate in…enthusiastically! This will require a ½ day with your key leadership to "Chart the Course". Ideally this 'diagnostic' is conducted three to six weeks prior to boarding.

Second, upon arrival and after your Windjammer Crew has provided the indoctrination, cabin assignments and our sailing itinerary; the PES professional staff will give participants the outline of the program, course materials, gear, and an overview of what they can expect to experience.

Third, let the learning and the games begin!

On the last evening, after dinner, we will have the commencement exercises… Including the traditional 'drink your dolphins' final exam.

There are normally 30 Windjammer Crew for handling the sailing duties, meals, etc. for 60+ guests. If your company sends 30 participants along with their significant others we will have three STB professional staff, and if there are 60 participants without guests we will have six staff. The class instruction is important, but the coaching and counseling during the sailing days, plus tips and techniques for handling the simulation are vital to successfully integrating and applying newly learned behaviors upon return.

The curriculum will be customized from over 30 modules and cannot be detailed until after we have charted your course for the voyage by discovering your needs during the diagnostic. However our modules draw from traditional business resource-to-results development models. Some of the modules we will select from include, but are not limited to:
  • Decision Making in critical simulations
  • Resource utilization in obtaining maximum results
  • The anatomy and application of Successful Behaviors
  • Communicating Successfully in the new Millennium
  • Tracking, Position Fixing and Scorekeeping
  • Coaching and Mentoring
  • Harnessing the "Forces of Human Nature" to navigate the treacherous waters of business
  • Streaming & Teaming

Wishing you steady winds and smooth seas in your business life.
