What our participants say
about the management seminar at sea
We had a great seminar. We actually learnt some new and very valuable things. The fact that we got to lend a hand on a real traditional sailing ship made the management seminar truly unique.
Helmut Wagner
CEO
The seminar was very well organised, both from a personal and professional point of view! I was given some tools that are practical and applicable. The manoeuvring of the sailing ship, the sea around us and the experienced trainer made the seminar unforgettable.
Elisabeth Harlinger
Head of Business Development
The really trusting and pleasant atmosphere on the ship and in the seminar made it easy for me to talk about my issues. The reflection after the role plays was particularly valuable. I was able to take important insights with me into my day-to-day work.
Jochen Steinocher
Managing Director
Questions and answers
to our management training courses
How does our leadership training on board work?
We have a top coach on board for you, who will run workshops with you on understanding leadership, on constructive cooperation, sharpening of perceptions and the most important aspects of successful leadership. Of course, active participation on board is not neglected. In the roles of captain, helmsman or deckhand, you will experience all positions in the company. Our regular crew will provide you with competent support.
During training, you can actively - and always on a voluntary basis - take part in the sailing manoeuvres. In this way, you will learn in a practical way what you can learn from the skipper and his crew about the structures of leadership and teamwork.
You will spend most of your time on deck of the sailing ship and learn about the challenges of everyday life on board, where you will also put your leadership skills to the test. Entertaining theory sessions in the lower deck saloon take place before the ship sets sail in the morning and after docking in the late afternoon. This will enable you to transfer your own experiences to your everyday working life.
What are the advantages of this management training programme?
Our management training is directly orientated towards the needs of the participating managers.
The content is not only taught in theory, but is also put into practice to meet the requirements of real business situations.
During the sailing manoeuvres, a decisive approach, focus on the goal, clear communication, teamwork and an appreciative approach are immediately rewarded with success and thus remain firmly anchored.
In what waters does the ship sail during leadership training?
Our management training courses are generally planned in such a way that they are tailored to the German North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts.
We would like to make your journey and the effort involved in taking part in the guiding seminar at sea as uncomplicated as possible. Both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea are considered two of the most beautiful sailing areas and are popular with sailors from all over the world.
However, the Eye of the Wind is on the move all year round and also sails in the Mediterranean, around the Canary Islands and in the winter months in the Caribbean Sea. Get in touch with us if you are interested.
