Captain Sandy Yawn on How to Be the Calm or Be the Storm EP 249

Today I am joined on the Pasion Struck podcast by Captain Sandy Yawn, the star of the Bravo TV hit series Below Deck Mediterranean. We discuss Captain Sandy's new book, Be the Calm or Be the Storm: Leadership Lessons from a Woman at the Helm. What We Discuss About How to Be the Calm or Be the Storm In our interview, Captain Sandy aims to inspire others to overcome adversity by recounting her journey from rock bottom to a successful leader in the maritime industry. She opens up about her family's history of substance abuse and her own struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, including arrests and dangerous incidents. We discuss how she chooses and assesses her crew even before leaving on a charter, determining who to invest in and how to bring out the best in them. At sea, things happen. She will talk about how much perseverance and trust are needed to solve a really difficult challenge because so much can go wrong no matter how much planning and training you do.  Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/captain-sandy-yawn-be-the-calm-or-be-the-storm/  Brought to you by Policygenius and Indeed. --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/  Like this show?
