Since the end of her voyage in 1997 Pat Henry, author of

By the Grace of the Sea: A Woman's Solo Odyssey Around the World
(McGraw Hill/International Marine/Sept 02)

"...a charming, erudite storyteller...
her eloquence and enthusiasm
captured everyone."
Margaret Burk,
Chairman,
Round Table West,
Los Angeles, CA

has presented this message to countless audiences across the country. Through anecdotes from sea and shore she brings them on board her 31-foot vessel to feel the highs and lows of sailing alone across the oceans of the world.

The challenges her eight-year, solo voyage presented, in many ways, parallel those facing individuals and businesses today...encountering fear, analyzing failure, managing complex goals, and working with passion.

What Henry learned in the clarity of survival and solitude at sea and through encounters with cultures around the world applies to everyday life on shore.

Pat's message to your organization will:

ENCOURAGE
Them to find the source of their passion
To discover the personal dream waiting within

EMPOWER
Them to face change and uncertainty without fear
To move beyond failure and self-imposed limits

EDUCATE
Them to develop techniques for managing challenge
To look for the gifts in adversity

ENTERTAIN
Them with encounters and personalities from distant lands that show the universal quality of the human condition

"Hearing Pat Henry, you can't help feeling that there is nothing you can't do if you are determined and focused."
