Analog Leader[ship] Institute™ - Pilot Program
The Analog Leader[ship]™ Institute is a premier initiative grounded in research from Industrial-Organizational Psychology and informed by the Experiential Learning Cycle. The Institute offers leadership programs that move beyond abstract theory into meaningful personal and professional transformation using sailboats as the medium.
Our Pilot Program provides the first opportunity to engage with this approach. While intentionally flexible, the program reflects a commitment to excellence. Participants sail aboard high-quality vessels with thoughtfully curated amenities, prioritizing safety at all times to ensure their focus is entirely on the immersive experiential learning process.
Our Institute is not a recreational, out-of-office program. It is a graduate-level structured leadership development experience in which every detail has been carefully considered, enabling participants to engage fully in the learning cycle. The experience is designed to hold participants accountable to the learning outcomes.
At the core of the program is the experiential learning cycle. Participants perform real sailing maneuvers with limited or no experience, all guided by expert and certified co-captains. These actions provide immediate, tangible challenges. The experience is then followed by mindful, structured reflection and a guided debriefing, during which participants critically examine their decisions, emotions, and team interactions.
Through this guided process, leaders gain deeper self-awareness, recognize patterns in their behavior, and identify strategies for taking immediate action in their professional contexts. Follow-up coaching is included.
