One thing I’ve realised recently...
Some of my favourite mentoring sessions aren’t actually about careers.
They’re about ideas.
The consultancy someone has been thinking about for years.
The training programme they know the industry needs.
The freelance service they want to launch.
The personal brand they’ve been meaning to build.
The business that’s been sitting in a notebook waiting for someone to help make sense of it.
I absolutely love helping people take what’s in their head and turn it into something tangible, structured and commercially viable.
Send me a message and let’s see what’s possible!!
One of the biggest misconceptions about treasure hunts is that children remember the treasure.
They don’t.
They remember the excitement of finding the next clue, the deckhand dressed as a pirate, the suspense of solving a riddle, and the moment they finally “walk the plank” to claim their prize.
Some of the most successful onboard activities I’ve ever run have been treasure hunts, and they don’t need to be complicated. A little planning, some imagination and a crew willing to join in can create a charter highlight that children talk about for years.
🏴☠️ If you’d like a ready-to-play version, my Pirate Treasure Hunt is available on the Superyacht Nanny website.
