In March 2020 the International Propeller Club of Piraeus decided to fund and offer a
free psychological support and empowerment program for seafarers employed in Greek owned
vessels.
This initiative was launched to support seafarers during the difficult times with the COVID-19
pandemic and includes an online interactive psychological counseling and coaching program.
These innovative online sessions were designed and performed by the Athens based company
Potentia.
The team at Potentia connects with the ship and offers the online support
A brand-new, people-centered, creative holistic approach with the following topics to
continually improve:
- Empowering coaching: Achieve self-awareness, build a positive mindset and encourage
empathic listening. Cultivate a healthy work environment and create harmonious,
functional relationships within the team. - Resilience: Access and improve, in challenging times, the ability to bounce back and
regain control. - Wellness: Be proactive, preventive and self-responsible through an interactive pursuit
associated with your body, mind and spirit, towards optimal holistic health. Establish an
enduring culture of wellness and attain the highest potential for physical and nutritional
well-being. - Maritime Branding 1-O-1: Introduce clear Foreign Branding rules. Improve
communication and presentation skills and gain self-confidence, both professionally and
personally.
The Piraeus Club has been receiving great feedback from shipping companies and seafarers
because they find the program to be an excellent support tool during these challenging times
for the people at sea.
