In this episode, I speak to Jeff Hansen, CEO of Sea Shepherd Australia. Sea Shepherd fights to defend, conserve and protect our oceans. They use direct action to defend marine wildlife and protect their habitat in the world’s ocean. Sea Shepherd does what international authorities can’t … or won’t. When existing laws to protect the world’s oceans and marine wildlife are not enforced, Sea Shepherd engages in direct action campaigns, patrolling the high seas and working with national authorities to tackle illegal fishing in sovereign waters.
Jeff is a coaching client of mine, and is a visionary leader in a hugely important organisation that is working to literally save the air we breathe. I guarantee you'll want to listen to the whole conversation to hear the range of stories he shares in our interview of frontline action in his Sea Shepherd experience, including chasing Japanese whaling boats in Antarctica, a 110-day chase at sea of illegal tooth-fishing vessels, as well as what's worked for Jeff to free himself up more from day-to-day operational demands to be able to focus on higher-level leadership needs.
