About Speaker

A geographer and former Royal Engineers reserve officer, Lucy’s first career came out of the blue: the first woman and civilian to qualify as a Joint Services (British Forces) Adventurous Sail-Training Skipper. 

Lucy went onto becoming a round the world yachtswoman after which she took on a key training and coordination role to relaunch and sail manually the classic racing superyacht, “Mariquita”.

These roles demanded good fitness and clear communication, especially in adverse weather conditions and so it was a huge shock when, just a couple of years after leaving the sea to start a family, Lucy found herself in hospital, struggling to breathe and only able to speak in a hoarse whisper.

Diagnosed with an apparently chronic, incurable breathing condition called idiopathic airway stenosis, Lucy decided to embark on a quest: what is actually causing this tissue to grow in my airway?

Little did she know then that it would turn out to be a 16 year “voyage” with far greater challenges than she’d ever encountered sailing round the world, ultimately leading her to work in mediation, conflict-coaching and group facilitation, and designing her own framework, The COURAGEOUS CONVERSATION S.P.A.C.E., to help people express themselves with compassion and authenticity.
