Description
Today, our nation is like a ship being tossed in tumultuous seas. The winds and waves of change have divided and distanced our society, threatening to wash away the very principles
our nation was founded upon. Now more than ever, our nation needs leaders with the moral
courage to stand strong and steady—leaders capable of uniting people in support of a shared
purpose by building the trust and respect necessary for organizations and their people to thrive.
Admiral Sandy Stosz started out in the US Coast Guard as an ensign serving aboard polar
icebreakers, conducting national security missions from the Arctic to the Antarctic. Her forty-
year career was filled with leadership lessons gleaned while breaking ice and breaking glass as
the first woman to command an icebreaker on the Great Lakes and to lead a US armed forces
service academy. Along the way, Sandy served for 12 years at sea, commanding two ships, and
led large Coast Guard organizations during times of crisis and complexity. She finished her
career as the first woman assigned as Deputy Commandant for Mission Support, directing one of the Coast Guard’s largest enterprises. She has lectured widely on leadership, and has been
featured on CSPAN and other media outlets. In 2012, Newsweek’s “The Daily Beast” named
Sandy to their list of 150 Women who Shake the World.
