ADVANCED LEADERSHIP UNIT 22
Yulia Safoniuk - Chief Stewardess I truly enjoyed the Advanced Leadership course in Palma! The content was super relevant and clearly based on real yacht life, which made it easy to apply. Your teaching style was engaging, positive, and very approachable — I felt comfortable asking questions and really learned a lot. I’ve walked away feeling much more confident and prepared for leadership responsibilities. Thank you for creating such a motivating and supportive environment |
