Having spent seven days on a mountain, we have been reflecting on the lessons learnt and whether this is a good way to build commercial relationships. We can honestly say that through the fundraising, training and climb, we now as a team know each other better than some family members. In many cases, we have shared experiences, fears and had some of our most honest conversations in years. We were very lucky with our team; the 30 individuals who were all very different in age, background and seniority supported each other without exception. » Read more: The Weary Return – What are the Lessons from Kilimanjaro?

Having recently taken part in the successful sailing day organised by Zircon and Spinnaker Yachts I was struck by the insight into people that such a day can produce. It is recognised that placing someone in an ‘alien’ environment, such as a 41 foot yacht, out of their normal comfort zone, results in them having to focus almost exclusively on the task in hand. This takes up more cognitive resource and people tend to compensate for this by resorting to their ‘core’ behaviours, which is always worth exploring. » Read more: Spinnaker Yachts Sailing Day … From a Psychological Viewpoint
