Women at the Helm | Kristen
Why does an executive leader step onto a 72’ expedition yacht and choose to learn at sea?
Because leadership feels different when you’re not just talking about trust, communication, and courage — you’re living it in real time, in the elements.
This is the first story in a collection of conversations from our Women in Leadership Sailing Weekend — each one filmed onboard SV Sea Dragon with the wind still in their hair and their perspective fresh from the helm.
Kristen shares what brought her here, what she carried home with her, and why stepping outside of the boardroom can bring you closer to the leader you already are.
⚓ More voices to come.
🌊 More perspective from the water.
👀 Stay tuned for the next conversation.

Last weekend we hosted our first ever Women in Leadership sailing weekend aboard SV Sea Dragon! It was all about women growing into new reaches of their power — at the helm, on deck, and together.
Sailing teaches leadership in real time: adapting to the wind, trusting your crew, finding strength in every challenge. These women showed up fearless and left even stronger.
