A different kind of Pilgrim heads west....

Suddenly downsized out of the corporate telecom industry, Sue Kenney became a pilgrim when she walked 780 kms across the north of Spain on a medieval pilgrimage route called the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. She went alone in the winter and wrote a book about her story.

Sue will be speaking at the Banff Centre on August 23rd to a group of 300 members of Advocis, for the association of financial and insurance planners. Sue will share the incredible stories of her experiences as she braves the unknown. Her talk is titled The Leadership Journey, and is based on the premise of an open philosophy of a principled leadership style based on pilgrim virtues such as compassion, honesty, gratitude, truth, purpose and love. This approach is supported by the teachings of great leaders like Robin Sharma, Lance Sectarian, Steven Covey, and now Sue Kenney. Some of the clients she has addressed are TD Canada Trust, Manulife Financial, City of Hamilton, CAFE, Calgary Chamber of Commerce, Fern Resort, Pickering College, Bahama's International School among others.

Author of Sue Kenney's My Camino, a world class master's rower and producer of a storytelling CD called Stone by Stone, Sue gracefully integrates the lessons of the Camino with her business and athletic expertise, offering a unique perspective to a more simple approach to a balanced life. Sue has been a guest appearing on CBC Wildrose Forum, Breakfast Television Toronto and Halifax, Good Morning Canada, CTV, The New VR, Rogers Daytime, CBC Radio in Victoria and Vancouver, the Calgary Herald, the Toronto Star and much more.
