The standard in this industry is perfection. Keeping it up takes more than skill.
- Good people are running on empty, and you notice it too late.
- Talented people who don't quite work as a team.
A new manager is still finding their way, and the team feels it.
- Motivation drops after a long, demanding project, and commitment goes with it.
Burnout rarely comes out of nowhere. The signs are there long before.
Inside the industry
Fifteen years in yacht building, most recently alongside the directors of Feadship and De Voogt. I know the pressure of a delivery date and the long builds.
And I know what it's like to keep everything running, and not notice you're the one running on empty.
Trained in people
My field is the people side of business: making sure people are doing well, and doing a good job.
That can mean coaching an engineer who has just become a manager, a team day where engineering and production learn to use each other’s strengths, or a session for your managers on spotting the early signs of burnout.

Why I work with CliftonStrengths
CliftonStrengths is an online assessment developed by Gallup. It shows which of 34 talent themes come most naturally to you: in how you think, how you get things done, how you work with others and how you influence people.
Instead of fixing weaknesses, you build on what you already do well. That gives people energy. And it gives a team a shared language for its differences.
Diana challenges my thinking, which can be confronting sometimes but it is exactly what I need to gain a better perspective.

Good leaders are never finished.
Leaders in the superyacht industry carry a lot: long builds, fixed delivery dates, demanding clients and teams of highly skilled people. Most of them perform well. The question is how long they can keep it up.
Suited Support helps you get the best out of people, starting from what they already do well. Through CliftonStrengths, team days and leadership coaching, people learn what gives them energy and what drains it. Teams learn to use each other's strengths. And leaders spot the signs of burnout before it turns into absence.
The result is more energy, stronger teams, and good people who stay.
