Camino Talks Podcast

Business coach Shannon Wallis joins us on this episode of Camino Talks to discuss her new book – WE the Change: Launching Big Ideas and Creating New Realities. This book is a combination of Camino memoir, life story, and a guide to making positive changes in your life.

Shannon Wallis’ ability to launch big ideas and create new realities comes from more than thirty years of professional study as well as a lifetime of personal vision, tenacity, and practice.

Her clients include leaders, teams, and organizations on six continents from Fortune 50 companies and non-profits. She has worked with over twenty thousand leaders on six continents to launch big ideas and create new realities for their leadership, teams, and organizations.

Prior to founding Cascade Leadership, Shannon was the global director of high-potential leadership development at Microsoft.

As an executive coach and leadership and organization effectiveness consultant, Shannon’s personal journey of transformation is living proof of the power of working collectively to WE the Change. Shannon continues the journey with her family, Joe, Savannah, Fiona, and darling dog Zoey, in Bellevue, WA.

In this Camino Talks interview, Shannon discusses her journey to the Camino. From her challenging childhood through a series of devastating events in her life, and on to the path of healing. WE the Change is a roadmap for anyone wanting to transform their life, organization, or community.

We love how this book weaves together the physical journey on the Camino with emotional and mental journeys in life. The lessons and messages of the book are so clear and applicable to life, while still being creatively and engagingly written.

Buen Camino!

Author John Brierley talks to us about the relationship of nature on modern-day pilgrimages in this Camino Talks episode. John Brierley started his Camino journey in 1989 when he gave up his day job to travel, and walked the Camino de Santiago. He has walked the famous pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela on foot many times and has since written several best selling guide books about the different Camino de Santiago routes.

These guides focus on the French Way, The Portuguese Way, The English Way, and the Camino Finisterre. His guide books are not just instructions for walking the trails, but also an excellent companion to your mental and spiritual journey on the Camino.

In this podcast:

It is summer, the flowers are blooming this makes us think about nature and the Camino de Santiago. What does the theme of nature and pilgrimage bring to you?

What do you think would be the proportion of unspoiled nature compared to more farmland, which I think it's maybe a bit more of a majority.

How would you weigh the natural value of the various routes of the Camino with national parks, that people may have discovered at the weekends and so on?

What would be a great memory you had with fauna or flora on the Camino? Is there an image or picture, a moment that you can share with us?

Q&A section:

Considering your experience in the Camino, what do you think makes the Camino different from other trips or vacations?

Is the Camino safe to go now due to the COVID-19?

What’s the best location from which you recommend I should start the Camino?

The Camino de Santiago is an amazing journey and a wonderful physical challenge. We talked to Daniel Quinn from ReBalance Physiotherapy in Dublin about how to get ready for the Camino and set yourself up for success. He gave us a number of awesome tips about things to look out for when you are walking, and how to keep yourself healthy while on the Camino.

He has helped us redesign our Camino Training Plan to get you ready for the Camino de Santiago. Being as prepared as you can be will set you up for a better Camino with a lower risk of injury. This easy plan will help anyone to get ready for the Camino in just 12 weeks. It includes both walking strength and stability training. Combining these means that you'll build up your fitness and stamina as well as looking after yourself. Adding stability exercises will help you to avoid injuries along the way. Strengthening your supporting muscles will help you to handle uneven surfaces and slopes more easily.

If you have any pains or twinges as you train for the Camino, remember to rest them as soon as possible and see a physiotherapist if they continue to cause you issues. If you are in Dublin, you can find ReBalance Physiotherapy in Dublin 2.
