Invited to a Meeting on a Superyacht: You Know You Have Made It

" ... yachts provide a forum for meetings at sea, beyond the jurisdiction of any country and very difficult to spy on." - Insider, May 26, 2023

Being in the loop of the superyacht crowd is the new symbol of power and influence. That role can range from owner of the vessel to the entrepreneur pitching a merger to the professional interviewing in that confidential setting for a plum job or assignment. 

Likely, it will make the Hamptons - which has already become uncool, documents The New York Times - look like yesterday for business development. Instead those who can dole out the big assignments will downright expect to enjoy the superyacht lux and glam. Only then will they be willing to size up the law firm, public relations, Wall Street, or managing consulting players. 

Soon enough in my niche - coaching - there will be a glut of experts to tutor on how to comport oneself when accepting a superyacht invitation. If it involves landing a job or business, that could come down to the famous Eminem line from "Lose Yourself." That's essentially that you have one shot. Be totally in that in the now. 

The great networkers in civilization all knew that. They include Jesus, Dale Carnegie, Steve Jobs, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Disney's Bob Iger, reputation-restored Mike Milken, Paul Weiss' Brad Karp, and soon to be comeback kid Leon Black. 

Full Disclosure: My most heady professional interview was in the back country of Greenwich, Connecticut for ghostwriting a memoir. I got the work. "They" said it was because I didn't talk about myself, not one bit. Yes, that one shot.
