Episode 31: Interview with Veteran Military Sergeant Gina Atkinson

Kelli Confidential: Negotiation Essentials Empowering Extraordinary Women

This week I’m honoured to welcome back veteran military sergeant Gina Atkinson. This is a special episode series and I’m quite chuffed to have Gina back on the show.
You may remember Gina’s name, she was on our show a year ago to promote a harrowing 300-mile solo trek across Scotland that she was doing for charity fundraising. What some of you may not know is that early in that journey – the first leg of that journey in fact, Gina has a terrible accident – which meant her original trek ended that day and she faced months of recovery and rehab. But she's back and stronger than ever and ready to face that 300 -mile challenge head-on!
Naturally humble and self-deprecating, join me for an open, funny and inspiring episode with Gina Atkinson as she gives us the low-down on what she's been up to last year and what the first leg of this 2024 trek (some 100 miles) has been like, including sleeping rough each night.
Her aim? It is to complete all of this within 3 weeks, solo, unassisted to raise awareness and money for three charities, ACT UK, SSAFA and Woody’s Lodge.
