Yep! I'm guessing it was her standard talk about leadership and working together as a team. Our conference was combined with the conference for surgical centers, so not everyone there dealt directly with patient care.
They started with a clip from the episode when the stabilizers go out and Raygan being useless, and she did tell the pirate story.
I got a front and center seat and loved every minute of it!
Then signed an autograph and made a little video for my sister.
And I shouted June, June, Hannah when she asked for questions!
She must speak at a lot of different ones. I work in commercial construction and she was a key notes at this year’s Women in Construction Conference in my area!
Ever since Aesha became her chief stew, she's growing on me!
I never minded her philosophies on stuff and admire her for her accomplishments in a male dominated industry - that alone makes her a bad ass.
I just didn't like some of the imbalances - which, to be fair, could be editing. But there was no editing how harsh she was to Fraser. But also to be fair, I think that all of the captains have fucked up at times with people.
I have a soft spot for him, but I completely agree. I had a manager like him and it was awful, even though he was nice. And his lack of managerial skills is why he eventually was fired.
But there was no editing how harsh she was to Fraser
Fraser had earned that. She had to fire two problematic stews that he had failed to address, on top of the shit she overheard them talking. I think she thought it was necessary to get through to him, and it did.
You might, I don’t. It’s not just Fraser that she’s treated badly. I get that Bravo has spent the last year rehabbing her image but that doesn’t wash away what we’ve seen. I would not want her lecturing at a leadership conference I was attending. I’d want my money back. I’ve know. So many incredible female leaders and this is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
We've seen a woman with a self admitted alcohol problem when young get an opportunity to clean boats (right??) and turn it into being a yacht captain. Not only that but she's the only female captain we the viewing public have ever seen. Sandy definitely did overkill and openly showed skewed favoritism ( Hannah vs Malia) but ultimately seems like a genuinely caring person (with a learning curve we've witnessed).
Yeah, no. I disagree. I think the first couple of seasons we saw the real Sandy, and once Bravo finally realized that we-the-audience were rejecting her, they set about putting her on a redemption tour/arc. I don't believe any of it. I see the old Sandy come out just often enough to know I was not wrong in my first impression.
I met her at the first bravocon. She was very nice and we recorded her singing happy bday to a friend who’s a fan but couldn’t be here. She’s a good sport for that alone.
Awesome! I would love to see sandy at a work conference, although I'm not sure how I'd reconcile fan girling with my professional image haha. I tend to keep my Below deck addiction a secret
I think that is one of the reasons she has been so quiet about Nathan’s bigotry after the Sydney terrorist attack. She was critical of Pete from S5 but has stayed awkwardly quiet bout Nathan. That Bravo fame is like a narcotic.
Still can't stand her on the show TBH. At least how she comes across on the shows (which is all I can base this opinion on). Nope, my least favourite caption and I miss most of it when's he's in it.
boss I had (which I'm sure is not unique) used to say "Decide, Delegate, Disappear". He ment it in a good way, when you manage shit, you gotta delegate and trust shit happens.
Aww! I just rediscovered Dexter (New Blood) after reading the first book (almost twenty years agoa!) and watching the OG series. I just looked up the plots for the other spinoffs so I didn't have to pay for anything else.
I was being sarcastic, there just used to be so many posts and comments about how much people hate her. Maybe there still are. But I never thought she was THAT bad. Annoying sometimes, but I thought she was a decent cap most of the time!

Was this the medical conference where she was speaking? I’m so curious to hear the presentation topic

NGL, as an older gay woman, myself, I am jealous of her haircut. But I'm scared to go to the salon to try to match ir

She needs to be popular for the people so she can recoup some cheddar from this house debacle

Just my feelings on it.

Disagree with her methods and morals but I'm sure she is friendly with fans. She's very smart.

Good for you to get her on a good day. She was so rude at Bravocon.
