Finding Your Voice at Sea: Communication as the Key to Crew Wellbeing | Self Care

Your voice is more than words — it’s your lifeline.



In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy sits down in Monaco with communication coach Alicia Sedgwick to uncover why communication is not just a soft skill, but a survival skill — especially in high-stress environments like yachting. From her career shift as a lawyer to teaching TEDx youth and executives, Alicia shares how finding her own voice gave her confidence, resilience, and purpose.



You’ll learn:

- Why communication is essential to safety, teamwork, and mental health onboard

- How body language and tone shape 90% of effective communication

- Tools like breathing, posture, and power poses to stay grounded under pressure

- How “I” statements and clarity reduce conflict and build respect

- Why silence and unspoken emotions can damage health, relationships, and crew harmony
