The Role of Community in Transformational Travel with Catherine Gallagher
Soul of Travel: Women's Wisdom and Mindful Travel
“Through building the community, connecting those leaders and having a place where they're learning from each other and growing together…it helps to spread the ripples further.” ~ Catherine Gallagher
In this episode, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Catherine Gallagher, UK-based travel business coach, social entrepreneur, and mastermind facilitator and co-founder of Women Travel Leaders. After spending the first decade of her career in recruitment and talent development, she followed her dreams and set up her own travel business, which she led for the next decade. She loved arranging ethical experiential travel for high-end clients, but she felt lost in the wilderness of entrepreneurship. She wished there was an industry-specific trusted community that she could call upon for support, and now she's excited to be helping shape just this kind of community with Women Travel Leaders. Catherine passionately believes in the transformational effects that travel can bring and is committed to supporting leaders that share this belief.
Christine and Catherine discuss:
- The importance of community, especially for women in business
- How entrepreneurship and business creation are a type of creative expression
- Experiencing community in travel with Women Travel Leaders
- How community can reinforce your values
- How to align travel experiences with personal transformation
- Creating work in alignment with your values
- Designing and encouraging transformational experiences through travel
- Bringing children into the travel experience
