How it Works
Leadership at the Helm builds leadership and teamwork skills of executives and managers through intense sailing instruction, embedded in an assessment-rich interactive experience. In a typical three-day program, teams of four spend a full afternoon learning to sail with expert coaches on award-winning Colgate 26 sailboats. The next afternoon the teams participate in a series of sailing races and leadership exercises. While teaching the basics of sailing, the experience features 360-degree and personality assessments, group discussions, and peer feedback in private break-out sessions, all guided by CCL faculty.
