Be Like the Sea: Life, Learnings and Leadership from an Irish Navy Captain, (Paperback)

<i>'The one thing you can't fully control in a ship is the water all around you, so part of your plan is always reading and analysing the currents and the tides. You have a clear image in your head of how you think the ship will perform in the prevailing conditions. But this time something isn't going the way we had planned it '</i><br><br>As a farmer's daughter in the country's largest landlocked county, Marie Gleeson's unusual career choice took her into uncharted waters. Working her way up from gruelling bootcamp training to leading a drug interdiction operation seizing 700 million of cocaine from a yacht off the Kerry coast, she was a leader among men and rose to every challenge. Developing a love of the sea, Marie learned that to be at one with it required agility, and a willingness to change, to go with the wind not against it. These lessons prepared her for operating without a life raft when her personal life threw her the greatest challenge of all.<br><br><i>Be Like the Sea</i> is the inspiring story of what happens when we overcome our own self-imposed physical, mental and emotional limitations, and a blueprint for charting our own unique path in life.
