SME Season: Pip Hare Ocean Racing and How to Stay Calm Under Pressure

We're continuing our SME season on How to be a CEO with solo round the world sailor Pip Hare. In this episode:


  • Pip's 30 year journey to become a round the globe sailor
  • What is “flow state” and how did it help her accomplish her dream?
  • The problems trying to make her way in the sailing world as a young woman
  • The “knackered old boat” she had to use to sail solo around the world
  • Why winning was less important than “outperforming my boat”
  • The importance of keeping perspective on her achievements in times of stress
  • How to stay calm when your boat breaks down in the middle of the ocean with no-one to help
  • Why she’s the ultimate home worker, and the advice she can give to businesses


Pip’s going to be appearing at the Watercooler, a two day event about workplace wellbeing being held alongside the Evening Standard’s SME Expo on April 23rd and 24th at Excel London.
