As a Wilderness First Responder, Sarah Garner learned that thriving in the backcountry isn’t just about handling emergencies. It’s about preparing proactively, paying attention, purposeful action, and problem-solving under pressure. This session brings those wilderness-tested lessons into business, the boardroom, and beyond. We'll explore how nature helps us focus our vision, build resourcefulness, and learn to adapt – essential skills at every stage of life or career.
