007. Finding Your Path with Manley Hopkinson

Manley was schooled on leadership through a mix of practical and academic. He twice served as an Officer in the Royal Navy, re-joining for the first Gulf War and in between Manley was an Inspector in the Royal Hong Kong Marine Police.In 2000, he was selected as a skipper in the BT Global Challenge round the world yacht race, leading a team of volunteers, including novices, for 9 months in a 32,000 mile journey, the “wrong way”!Manley continued his adventures as part of the 3-man team that won the inaugural race to the Magnetic North Pole. The team faced polar bear attacks, and sub-zero temperatures, learning huge lessons about both surviving and competing in very difficult circumstances.Their record time of 10 days and 9 hours still stands. With many more adventures ahead, Manley is always a “leader, in learning".Hermans LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hermanstewart/This show was brought to you by Progressive Media Hosted on Acast.
