yacht young professionals

"I felt it was critical to focus on professional development since networking and socializing would happen automatically," Kiernan says. "Our first monthly meetings alternated between professional development seminars, such as a Dale Carnegie course, and having industry veterans as guest speakers...The early support from senior executives in the industry was overwhelming and ultimately critical to the development of the organization." 

Jarvie had grown up in San Diego, where his great-grandfather started Oversea Insurance. After university, he went back and started working for the family business, eventually moving to Fort Lauderdale in 2009 to open up a South Florida office.

Recruiting Young Yachting Professionals With Future Talent

Marine Resources has recently launched an initiative called Future Talent to continue their strategy to nurture and support future talent within the sector. We spoke with Senior Marketing Manager, Preslava McCarthy, on Marine Resources’ plans for Future Talent…

About Future Plan

Future Talent is built on four main pillars: Attract, Train, Retain, and Thrive.

They use these goals as a comprehensive model to engage with both employers and employees at events like METSTRADE, the Boat Builder Awards, Southampton International Boat Show, and many more. It aims to give young professionals a voice by providing a platform to express their aspirations and expectations for the marine industry’s future. This initiative also seeks to collect insights and data while educating and influencing the industry on the unique needs of young people and professionals. Their main audience include millennials and Gen Z, as they are vital contributors to the industry’s future success.

The Goal For Future Talent

Future Talent aims to recruit young professionals (YP).

As McCarthy explains:

Our ‘primary goal is to heighten industry awareness about the potential in hiring YP. We aim to provide guidance to our clients and the broader industry on how to highlight aspects of their businesses that would be attractive to YP. Furthermore, we will work on educating employers about YP’s expectations, helping them present themselves as excellent companies to work for.’

Upcoming Events

In terms of upcoming initiatives, Future Talent has a range of events.

• They will continue to support the Superyacht Young Designer competition , which is sponsored by Marine Resources
• There is a full schedule of events at the METSTRADE Young Professionals’ Club & Career Zone . At this year’s METSTRADE event, students and up-and-coming professionals will be able to gain complimentary access to career coaching sessions, offered by Marine Resources’ experienced recruiters. Additionally, METSTRADE exhibitors are encouraged to take advantage of free job advertisement opportunities within the METSTRADE Career Zone
• Throughout the year, they plan to host various webinars for both employers and YP, providing opportunities for networking and continuing initiatives beyond METSTRADE, including the Marine Mentors program

However, this is only the beginning. As McCarthy states: “These are just the initial steps, and we are eager to develop and expand our efforts over time.”

Young Professional in Yachting (YPY) Making an Impact

His tenure marks the family’s fourth generation in the business, his great grandfather started the firm. Jarvie runs its East Coast operation from the Fort Lauderdale office. His father, Scott Jarvie runs its San Diego and Hawaii offices.

Working in the family business gives Jarvie many advantages such as a clear career path and mentoring and introductions within the business and industry, he says.

And that’s why Young Professionals in Yachting resonates with Jarvie who is the organization’s president.

YPY, based in Fort Lauderdale, is a non-profit organization formed to educate, promote ethical business practices, and facilitate success for young professionals within South Florida’s yachting business community.

Creating a community of individuals who deal in the same industry means there is a variety of instant resources, and contacts, says Jarvie.

Forging a thread of business contacts and sources is a part of Jarvie’s fabric. He attends events for Young Professionals in Yachting, Florida Yacht Brokers Association, The Triton, Superyacht Forum and other marine industry groups.

The drill down :

Why YPY? I enjoy the opportunity to positively affect this organization and the opportunity to grow something I believe in. I joined in 2009, and first served on the board as social chair and became vice president in 2011. When the former president (and founder) left to take a job in Monaco, I stepped in to give the organization new guidance, leadership and a new direction. We restructured the board, changed the meeting location and agenda, and more than doubled membership. We’re expanding with chapters in London and Monaco.

What is YPY’s purpose and mission? The group meets monthly to share industry news and take part in educational sessions led by established industry leaders; it hosts quarterly social events, boat show related events at The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, The Palm Beach International Boat Show and the Monaco Yacht Show, as well as an annual banquet in January. Some members are on the Board of Freedom Waters Foundation, and YPY participates in the Marine Industry Cares Spin-A-Thon, which benefits Kids in Distress.

In terms of Young Professionals in Yachting, what is a yachting professional? A yachting professional can be a captain or engineer, yacht broker, professional service provider such as an insurance provider, maritime attorney or one who provides marketing services to our industry. YPY however, is made up only of shore-based professionals.

What challenges does the yachting sector of the business have in terms of relating to the marine industry as a whole? The large yacht industry is comprised of a few thousand yachts worldwide, making it an extremely elite society. However, getting into boating at the entry level is very affordable and can be achieved by almost anyone. For example the Florida Yacht Brokers Association helped create the tax cap to keep large yachts in Florida. It was about keeping jobs in Florida, not about cutting taxes for the wealthy. The alternative is to take these yachts outside of Florida for registration, which means they take all of the corresponding business out of Florida.

How does YPY bridge generations? The marine industry is often viewed as being set in its ways. These days there are many new and exciting ways to build business and communicate with customers. Placing an ad in a magazine is not the only option to reach the consumer any longer. Through professional networking, social media strategies and strategic marketing plans, the options to build and support a brand seem endless. YPY hosts accomplished senior members of the industry as guest speakers at its monthly meetings. This helps form personal and business relationships between the older and younger generations that otherwise wouldn’t have been, and also gives us an opportunity to learn from their experiences.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Sailor Cole Brauer makes history as the first American woman to race solo around the world

Aboard her 40-foot racing boat First Light ,  29-year-old Cole Brauer just became the first American woman to race nonstop around the world by herself.

The New York native pulled into A Coruña, Spain, on Thursday after a treacherous 30,000-mile journey that took 130 days.

She thanked a cheering crowd of family and fans who had been waiting for her on shore.

“This is really cool and so overwhelming in every sense of the word,” she exclaimed, before drinking Champagne from her trophy.

The 5-foot-2 powerhouse placed second out of 16 avid sailors who competed in the Global Solo Challenge, a circumnavigation race that started in A Coruña with participants from 10 countries. The first-of-its-kind event   allowed a wide range of boats to set off in successive departures based on performance characteristics. Brauer started on Oct. 29, sailing down the west coast of Africa, over to Australia, and around the tip of South America before returning to Spain.

Brauer is the only woman and the youngest competitor in the event — something she hopes young girls in and out of the sport can draw inspiration from.

“It would be amazing if there was just one girl that saw me and said, ‘Oh, I can do that too,’” Brauer said of her history-making sail.

It’s a grueling race, and more than half of the competitors have dropped out so far. One struck something that caused his boat to flood, and another sailor had to abandon his ship after a mast broke as a severe storm was moving in.

The four-month journey is fraught with danger, including navigating the three “Great Capes” of Africa, Australia and South America. Rounding South America’s Cape Horn, where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet, is often likened to climbing Mount Everest because of its perfect storm of hazards — a sharp rise in the ocean floor and whipping westerly winds push up massive waves. Combined with the frigid waters and stray icebergs, the area is known as a graveyard for ships, according to NASA. Brauer  said  she was “so unbelievably stoked” when she sailed past Cape Horn in January.

Marco Nannini, organizer of the Global Solo Challenge, said the comparison to scaling Mount Everest doesn’t capture the difficulty of the race. Sailing solo means not just being a skipper but a project manager — steering the boat, fixing equipment, understanding the weather and maintaining one’s physical health.

Nannini cited the relatively minuscule number of people who have sailed around the world solo — 186, according to the International Association of Cape Horners — as evidence of the challenges that competitors face. More than 6,000 people have climbed Mount Everest, according to  High Adventure Expeditions .

Brauer stared down 30-foot waves that had enough force to throw her across the boat. In a scare caught on camera, she badly injured her rib   near the halfway point of the event. At another point, her team in the U.S. directed Brauer to insert an IV into her own arm due to dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea.

She was able to stay in constant communication with members of her team, most of whom are based in New England,   and keep herself entertained with Netflix and video calls with family through Starlink satellites.   That’s also how Brauer was able to use Zoom to connect with NBC News for an interview, while she was sailing about 1,000 miles west of the Canary Islands.

While Brauer was technically alone on First Light, she had the company of 450,000 followers on Instagram, where she frequently got candid about life on an unforgiving sea while reflecting on her journey.

“It all makes it worth it when you come out here, you sit on the bow, and you see how beautiful it is,” she said in an Instagram video, before panning the camera to reveal the radiant sunrise.

Brauer grew up on Long Island but didn’t learn to sail until she went to college in Hawaii. She traded in her goal of becoming a doctor for life on the water. But she quickly learned making a career as a sailor is extremely difficult, with professional racers often hesitant to welcome a 100-pound young woman on their team.

Even when she was trying to find sponsors for the Global Solo Challenge, she said a lot of people “wouldn’t touch her with a 10-foot pole” because they saw her as a “liability.”

Brauer’s message to the skeptics and naysayers? “Watch me.”

“I push so much harder when someone’s like, ‘No, you can’t do that,’ or ‘You’re too small,’” Brauer explained.

“The biggest asset is your mental strength, not the physical one,” Nannini said. “Cole is showing everyone that.”

Brauer hopes to continue competing professionally and is already eyeing another around-the-world competition, but not before she gets her hands on a croissant and cappuccino.

“My mouth is watering just thinking about that.”

The VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art

Biennials in times of covid19 – kochi muziris biennale, biennials in times of covid19 – sydney biennale.

Alina Glazoun_Untitled (All are slightly different)

VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art September 5, 2020 – December 6, 2020 http://youngart.ru

The Moscow International Biennale for Young Art is a large-scale project in the field of contemporary art held in Russia since 2008. The Biennale seeks to discover new names, support and stimulate creative initiatives by the new generation of artists and curators, create a stage for their public statements and, as a result, develop the modern art environment and international integration. The Moscow International Biennale for Young Art is organized by one of its founders – the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. The project started with the festival of young art Qui Vive? (held by the National Center for Contemporary Art from 2002 to 2006) and the exhibition of young art by Workshops (held annually by the MMOMA from 2001 to present).

The VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art consists of the Main Project, nine Special Projects, an Educational Program divided into three blocks, a Parallel Program consisting of 23 projects from different Moscow institutions, and a Portfolio Review Program aimed at supporting young artists from all Russia.

The Main Project of the Biennale consists of two international competitions: a contest for artists – the works by the four winners are displayed on the facades of the Moscow Museum, and a competition for young curators, resulting in the selection of three projects to be featured in the Moscow Museum. The Main Project brought together 47 artists from 10 countries.

The Main Project also presents a new video work by Sasha Pirogova, who received the special Biennale grant. The cinema hall provides the venue for the Extracurricular Practices educational program – a special project of the VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art and the Moscow International Experimental Film  Festival (MIEFF).

The Biennale for Young Art is not simply a project or an exhibition, it is rather a process, a set of various arrangements that create and maintain a living environment for young art. This year, the organizers, facing certain limitations and difficulties, have focused on such formats and solutions for the Biennale objectives as procedure, different ways of representing works, support for interaction between curators and artists, and horizontal relations. It is this approach that allows to maintain continuity in the cultural process, which is essential both for its makers and for the viewer, – Alexey  Novoselov, the Commissioner of the VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art.

• The structure of the VII Young Biennale includes five programs:

–                        Main Project divided into 2 parts; –                        9 Special Projects; –                        Educational Program; –                        Portfolio Review Program; –                        Parallel Program consisting of 23 projects.

Main Project The first part of the Main Project, which started on 5 September, presents the results of the open call for artists who were tasked to create site-specific works for the interior facades of the Museum of Moscow . Out of 370 applications from 64 countries the Biennale’s Board of Experts* has selected four projects that will be commissioned for the event: “ Screen Settings” by Alisa Omelianceva (Russia/Austria); “ I Look at You, You Look at Me” by Igor Samolet (Russia); “ Screen” by Roma Bogdanov (Russia) and “ Untitled (All Are Slightly Different)” by Alina Glazoun (Russia).

Sasha Pirogova , who represented the Russian pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale, has created her first video work in two years, Out of Time , which has received a special mention by the Biennale’s Board of Experts. The work will be produced with the support from the Biennale and unveiled in November.

The Main Project housed in the inner courtyard of the Museum of Moscow will be on view until 6 December 2020.

The second part of the VII Moscow International Biennale for Young Art’s Main Project launches on 3 November 2020 at the Museum of Moscow. It will introduce three curatorial projects in one location.

The international project displays different formats and solutions for exhibiting artworks and organising interaction between curators and artists. As part of its roadmap, the Biennale held a large-scale international open call following which, out of 370 applications from 64 countries , three projects were shortlisted to be produced by the Biennale and exhibited at the Provision Warehouses housing the Museum of Moscow: I don’t know whether the Earth is spinning or not… by Lizaveta Matveeva and Francesca Altamura (Russia and USA),  Personal Places // Archival Spaces by Giulia Morale and Sterre Barentsen (Italy/UK and Germany/Netherlands), forbidden body language by Elza Abdulkhakova (Russia). The projects featuring 47 artists from 10 countries will be on view from 3 November to 6 December in the second building of the Museum of Moscow.

Special Projects The Biennale hosts nine special projects created in partnership with major art institutions.

The first special project of the Biennale for Young Art is a collaboration with the blazar Young Art Fair , a satellite of the Cosmoscow International Contemporary Art Fair. Besides, blazar Art Fair has selected one of the artists from the Biennale’s Main Project to participate in the next year’s show out of the competition.

From 14 September to 11 October , the Biennale for Young Art together with Cube.Moscow launched  Support Group, a platform for self-organized initiatives from Moscow that occupy the space of Cube.Moscow for a month.

Obama's best career advice was to follow your passions rather than a job title, an ex-White House speechwriter said

• Barack Obama's ex-speechwriter has had a non-linear career, shaped by advice from the former president. 
• "Worry about what you want to do, not who you want to be," Obama told one-time staffer Aneesh Raman, per CNBC.
• Raman advised young workers to think about the impact they want to have rather than a job title.  

A former speechwriter for Barack Obama shared some advice from the former president that shaped his career choices. 

Aneesh Raman, who worked as a speechwriter for Obama from 2011 to 2013, told CNBC Make It that the two-term Democratic president often said: "Worry about what you want to do, not who you want to be." 

Raman, who is now a vice president and workforce expert at LinkedIn, explained that Obama started out in community service organizing in Chicago and didn't always have ambitions to become president, but "he wanted to build communities in a different way" and "it led him on his path that led to this moment where he became president."

Raman's career has been somewhat similar and what he calls a "squiggly line" career which doesn't have a linear path but is driven more by his skills and passions. He's worked as a CNN war correspondent in the Middle East, as well as the head of economic impact at Facebook. 

"My job titles as a career don't make sense," he told CNBC, saying that he has always specialized in storytelling and coalition building around economic opportunity, leading him to the various roles he's had.

Raman encourages young professionals to think about the impact they want to have rather than the title they want to earn and that they should think about their careers in phases. 

From age 20 to 25, you should learn what your key skills are and what you're passionate about. From age 30 to 45, you should apply these skill sets to an area of expertise or a particular field.

After age 45, you can start thinking about what kind of impact you want in your organization and the world. 

This is the best way to define a long-lasting career because it's areas you can control versus a job title that "might not even exist in 20 years," Raman said. 

In an interview with LinkedIn in 2023 , Obama reiterated the words of wisdom he had shared years ago with Raman. 

When thinking about your career you should "worry more about what you want to do rather than what you want to be," Obama said. 

"I think so often, people have in their mind, 'I want to be a congressman by 30. I wanna make X amount of money by this age.'"

But an "extraordinary career" comes from following your interests and passions, he said.
