Face Uncertainty and Take Action: Lessons from a Blind Sailor's Pacific Crossing

How can leaders move forward when pressure and uncertainty is high? Blind adventurer Hiro Iwamoto and his ‘seeing eye Doug” Doug Smith sailed across the Pacific in 55 days, from San Diego to Fukushima. The two share key strategies in taking action despite uncertainty and what’s needed to pick the right partners to make impossible projects a reality. Hiro also shares how he stays calm in moments of extreme adversity, like when whale sank his boat during an earlier attempt leaving him in a life raft for 11 hours amid five-metre waves. Their lessons on crisis leadership, teamwork, overcoming fear and innovation can motivate any leader during difficult moments.
