‘’Hosting nearly 60 clients, partners, and friends aboard the BeWaterPositive IMOCA during its visit to Québec City was a powerful reminder that growth happens when we step beyond our comfort zone.
Guests had the unique opportunity to tour this true ‘Formula 1 of the sea’, meet the team behind the project, and hear Scott Shawyer share his remarkable journey of pushing limits, challenging the status quo, and pursuing a goal many considered unattainable.
What resonated most from Scott’s presentation was not just the race itself, but the decision to pursue a dream that seemed unlikely, difficult, and uncertain.
His journey, from engineer and business leader to offshore skipper pursuing the ambition of becoming the first Canadian to complete the Vendée Globe, demonstrates that extraordinary achievements begin when we stop running on autopilot and give ourselves permission to discover what we are truly capable of.
As leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators, we can all find ourselves following a well-defined course. Scott’s story reminds us that meaningful accomplishments, and growth rarely start with certainty. They begin when we challenge ourselves, embrace discomfort, and dare to take on something bigger than ourselves. At H2O Innovation, that same spirit of ambition, resilience, and purpose drives everything we do.” Frederic Dugre, President & CEO, H20 Innovation
