Episode 37: Interview with WanderWomen Founder - Anna Neubert-Wood

Kelli Confidential: Negotiation Essentials Empowering Extraordinary Women

What’s one of your most joyful childhood memories? For me, it was the weekends camping in the Colorado Rockies, foraging for wild raspberries, climbing boulders, playing in the creek beyond our campsite – tadpole catching, cool water on our bare toes, my sister and I gathering sparkly rocks that we were sure contained gold and diamonds.
And according to Anna Neubert-Wood, founder of WanderWomen Scotland – we’re not alone - as many published studies have shown that people’s childhood memories of being outdoors are among the fondest and most revered. Why is that? The research says it’s the extra sensory input – the combination of sights, sounds, touch, temperatures creating that immersive experience leaving an indelible mark of joy for many.
But in this post COVID world where work life, shopping, banking, learning and so many previously social activities turned to technology, people have become less and less connected and more technology dependent. For busy leaders and entrepreneurs, this is especially the case and it can be a major factor in burnout and feelings of overwhelm.
Enter the award-winning wonders of WanderWomen Scotland where they do things that are so simple yet so genius specifically helping women to find space, peace and joy - crucial ingredients for maintaining relevance and resiliency as a leader. You're gonna want to hear this one! 🎉
