Inclusive leadership lessons from sailing around the world

BeamReach & Beyond

Hey there. My name is Olla Jongerius and I´m your host of our new episode of BeamReach and Beyond in Season 2. This episode is dedicated to the lessons learned from Sailing around the world and the role of Inclusion and psychological safety in it.

Joining us today is one amazing individual whom I have the privilege of calling a good friend: Uwe Allgäuer. Uwe is an Austrian entrepreneur and a passionate advocate of the location-independent lifestyle, dedicated to building vibrant, growth-minded communities. As the founder of MyStartBulgaria.com, Uwe assists individuals in establishing a new base in Bulgaria, offering comprehensive services in residency, company formation, and tax optimization.

Uwe is also an avid sailor, with a deep connection to the sea that complements his adventurous spirit. As the founder of Nomad Sailing Retreat, he organises sailing adventures that encourage participants to step out of their comfort zones, embrace new challenges, and reconnect with nature.

In this episode, we covered a wide range of topics like

• the importance of psychological safety at sea, especially when physical safety is lacking
• the role of explicit communication in Inclusive leadership
• how to best solve conflict in a confined space in the middle of the ocean and
• finally, the consequences for captain, the crew and the boat if inclusion is ignored

Let's dive into this very interesting conversation.
