In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 5: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Sharon Houghton.

With over 15 years of experience in the media and Outdoor industries, Sharon is a sales and revenue leader who oversees notable brands and leads a robust team of creative, results-oriented, and passionate people. As the SVP of Sales at Outside, Sharon is focused on delivering results that impact the organization and its audiences. Sharon has managed and built numerous growth-based portfolios. She is a strategic thinker, a team and culture builder, a business partner, and a product developer who strives to find new solutions and tools to move the business forward in sustainable ways. Driven by integrity, accountability, and innovation - Sharon is a lifelong learner who loves to solve problems and take on challenges. Beyond work, Sharon is a mom to two kids (8 & 11) and an athlete that loves to travel. If she can run and swim on her travels around the world, even better!
