A Walk Can Change Anything

What if one gentle step outdoors could change the way we lead, listen, and connect with ourselves and others?

In this session, outdoor lover and founder Julia Hartley shares the personal story behind Guided Outdoor Adventures how a single walk became the spark for a business rooted in kindness, courage, and community.

We’ll then explore how nature supports brave conversations and emotional safety especially for those who don’t see themselves represented in traditional outdoor spaces. Julia will guide participants through gentle, reflective prompts that tap into how movement and place can shape wellbeing, confidence, and connection in everyday life and work.

Whether you lead teams, hold space for others, or are simply curious about bringing more kindness into the way you show up, this session will offer fresh perspective and practical insight all grounded in the real-world experience of walking people home to themselves.
