Manley is a professional yachtsman and was the skipper of Olympic Group, one of the twelve yachts competing in the incredible BT Global Challenge 2000-2001, ”the World’s toughest yacht race” organised by Sir Chay Blyth. It was a leadership and management challenge that pushed all the Skippers to the edge, and taught them much. In addition to this experience Manley was a member of “The Initial Style Explorers”, Mission Performance’s winning team for the inaugural Polar Race in April 2003. Known as “the World’s toughest race” and the first race to be run to a Pole the race tested the team’s stamina, motivation, teamwork and resolve to the limit; setting new standards for Polar Explorers covering an average of 35 miles per day skiing, pulling a 120lb sledge and reached the pole in 10 days and 7 hours. This story illustrates how the power of teamwork and exceptional personal discipline underpin success. Manley is accredited with SDI, TMSDI and MBTI psychometric tools. |
