NEW: Intentional Travel: Ticket to Business and Life Transformation

Studies consistently show that there is a deep human need for the new experiences and adventure that business and personal travel provide. Getting out of the routine, whether on a short or extended trip, often leads to new perspectives and insights. Intentional travel—also referred to as mindful travel—allows us to get the most out of travel by setting goals and commitments pre-trip and following through with them during and afterwards. To buck the "Quit the 9-5 to Travel the World", organizations and wellness professionals are choosing travel initiatives that support more enrichment for their people.
 
During this interactive presentation, you will learn:

  • What is intentional travel
  • The value of intentional travel to organizations and
    individuals
  • Business and travel trends supporting intentional travel
  • Practical ways to bring intentional travel to our own and
    others’ trips
  • 3 intentional travel commitments for your next trip

Join us as we take a deep dive into having more meaningful
and enriching travel experiences that contribute to our
organizations’ success, as well as our own professional
and personal development.

This program is perfect for: Business Executives, Business Owners, Professionals

Carrie’s presentation was a smashing success!  I was so impressed with the level at which she was able to engage the attendees by asking open ended questions and providing a series of three critical thinking exercises.  Our membership went through a difficult year with COVID. Carrie’s session helped them to critically examine areas in which they were ‘stuck’ and gave them the tools to ‘move on’.  Her delivery was high energy and she made the attendees feel comfortable to share.  Looking forward to a future session with Carrie
