As some of you probably know, I am also an avid sailor. In September I will be representing the Netherlands during the inaugural World Championships for the DH Mixed Offshore class. In the coming weeks I will be posting some insights in how sailing and business can be very much alike. And even strengthen one another. Like in leading a business, planning is everything. Without a proper plan that leads to a good strategy, success is merely a coincidence. But with a good plan and strategy, followed by diligent execution, success is much more likely to come your way. But it’s also very important who is there to plan and execute with you. Which is why I am very pleased to be teaming up with Lisa Vos for the Worlds. Together Each Achieves More: TEAM. Strategic planning, followed by execution, complemented with the right team, will always lead to success. Success is not a coincidence: in business and in sailing! Hopefully you’ll follow me during this journey, and feel free to comment or ask any questions you might have in the comments below. And if you believe we can strengthen each other, we are still looking for partners :)

Why Project Discussions Beforehand Are Essential ! we've all been there diving first into a project without discussing it thoroughly beforehand. And what do we get? Chaos, confusion, and a whole lot of laughter or tears. But jokes aside, pre project discussions are absolute lifesavers! From clarifying objectives to aligning expectations, hashing out the details beforehand sets the stage for success. Plus, it saves us from those remember when we didn't talk about this? moments. So, here's to the power of pre-project banter – because a little laughter is always welcome, especially when it's followed by smooth sailing! #ProjectPrep #TeamSuccess

A momentous achievement for SAFEEN Group as we secured a Guinness World Record™️ for the Most Powerful Electric Tugboat! With an average high peak pull of 78.2 tonnes, our all-electric tugboat, Bu Tinah, not only sets a new global standard in performance but also underscores our commitment to sustainability. This innovative vessel, the first in the Middle East, offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional diesel-powered vessels by reducing maintenance and fuel costs! As Captain Ammar Mubarak Al Shaiba, CEO – Maritime & Shipping Cluster, AD Ports Group, stated, “We are very proud that the first electric tug in the Middle East is also making waves on a global level with this accolade, and the fact that, in parallel, it is improving the sustainability of our operations alongside cost efficiencies in terms of overall fuel saving is extremely important. This vessel is now a key component of our Marine Services fleet and our electrification strategy.” #SAFEENGroup #ADPortsGroup #EnablingTrade #Sustainability #Innovation #ElectricTug

Are you a tugboat or a lighthouse? 🤔 I always use this analogy when speaking to some of my team - "Are you a Tugboat (follower) or a Lighthouse (Leader)?" But after doing more research, I found some interesting insights into the 'tugboats' role... The tugboat forcefully guides ships to the harbour, much like some people who push, convince, and manipulate others to achieve their goals. We’ve all experienced—or perhaps been—the tugboat, pushing someone toward what we think is best. But as the old saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink." On the other hand, the lighthouse stands firm and shines brightly, illuminating the path without direct intervention. It allows each ship’s captain the freedom to navigate based on the light provided - and shall we say, the lighthouse reminds them of the direction, even when times get a little rough...🤔 I then realised that perhaps I was using it in the wrong context, but am I? I guess it depends on how you want to be seen, or lead your team and people around you. For me, the 'lighthouse' approach is a more empowering way to interact with others. Instead of forcing actions, we can inspire and lead by example. In both personal and professional realms, I've found the lighthouse approach to be far more effective. By being authentically ourselves and providing a clear, consistent example, we allow others the space to make their own choices and grow. Certainly, in my experience, the lighthouse method fosters a deeper, more genuine connection and respect 💪🏼 So, which one would you prefer —a tugboat or a lighthouse?
