In this episode, Ashurst's Global Chair Karen Davies is joined by James Harayda, skipper and team principal at the Gentoo Sailing team to discuss the topic of resilience.

James will be one of up to forty competitors in November 2024, lining up for the start from Brittany and France for the Vendée Globe race. James and the other competitors will have very little sleep, usually obtaining snatches of 40-90 minutes and contact with the outside world will be by way of text, email and radio exchanges from time to time.

It is most noticeable that the closet people to the competitors at times will be astronauts on the International Space Station, as they will be several thousand miles from the nearest land.

James discusses the importance of having resilience when it comes to the twenty-four hour, eighty day solo race. Revealing how he relaxes during races and sharing his tips for managing stress, fear and pressure - which are useful for anyone in business.

Ashurst are delighted to have partnered with Gentoo Sailing Team whose innovative vision and sustainability ambitions reflect our own. To find out more about our partnership, visit our partnership page.
