What Yacht Leaders Are Saying

"Every yacht of 8 crew or more should be using DISC profiling to enhance leadership and teamwork."

Chief Officer

Getting feedback from my crew members and chatting about it with Karine definitely opened my mind to how I can improve my communication skills as well as my ability to manage and lead people. I think every yacht of 8 crew or more should be doing those evaluations. Great and easy tool to get better professionally and personally.

Chief Officer

I’ve learned my weaknesses as well as strengths and how to work towards becoming a stronger leader overall.

Captain

I chose this specific service because I wanted to have a second opinion and reassurance that I am familiar with my own traits and characteristics.

Chief Stewardess

The DISC confirmed for me that I am progressing in the right direction. The detailed report along with the coaching session with Karine has motivated me to nurture my positive and strong traits and work hard on improving the weaker ones. I think that the entire Yachting industry would benefit from using the DISC and Coaching … a little bit of soul searching would not hurt it.

Testimonials

The DISC debrief gave me instant clarity that years of trial and error never did.” Seeing my DISC profile explained why certain conversations felt hard and why others flowed so easily. The debrief connected the dots between my communication style and the reactions I was getting especially in challenging situations. What I valued most was how practical it was. I left knowing exactly how to flex my style with different people without compromising who I am. Since then, conflict has reduced, collaboration has improved, and I feel far more grounded in how I communicate. If you work with people, this is invaluable.

Nick Captain

The DISC debrief completely changed how I understand myself and how I lead.” I thought I knew my strengths, but the DISC assessment and debrief showed me how I actually operate under pressure, in communication, and in decision-making. What made the difference was the debrief wasn’t generic or surface-level. I walked away with language for my behaviour, clarity around my blind spots, and practical ways to adapt without feeling like I had to become someone else. I’m more confident, more effective, and far more intentional in how I show up at work and in relationships. This isn’t just an assessment, it’s a perspective shift.

Anthony Captain

“This debrief didn’t just describe me, it helped me evolve.” The DISC assessment on its own was insightful, but the debrief is where the real transformation happened. It highlighted patterns I’d never consciously noticed and helped me understand how my natural style impacts others, especially when I’m stressed or stretched. The session was thoughtful, honest, and empowering. I didn’t feel judged or boxed in; I felt understood and supported. I now lead with more awareness, adapt with intention, and make decisions with far greater confidence. I recommend this to anyone serious about personal or professional growth.
