A short, first-person reflection (YouTube video) in which the speaker—James Laughlin—discusses personal growth learned through life experiences: recognizing who he does and does not want to be, attending to mental/physical/spiritual wellbeing, and preparing to lead a team during difficult circumstances. The speaker uses yachting and storms as a leadership metaphor for facing and preparing for adversity.
It's really through experiences in life that I've learned that, you know, not every time have I been so calm like I've learned over time. And I think it comes with age, to be honest, like life experience and knowing that who I don't want to be and who I want to become is really the key in my experience. And also taking care of my body mentally, physically and soulfully and preparing myself to lead a team and through any circumstance. Because in yachting, you know, bad weather comes, storms will arise, and you got to prepare for that.
