Welcome to the first episode of our Meaningful Conversations Podcast where we talk with the wonderful Laura Gallindo, the Global Director of Strategic Marketing and Communications at Grundfos Water Utility.

In this episode, Laura and Annyse dive into a rich and reflective conversation about leadership, purpose, and the future of work — through the lens of intention, rest, and the wisdom of water.

They ask the big questions:

• What if we’re not behind — but exactly where we need to be?
• Can doing less actually create more impact?
• How do fear and hope shape the future we want to co-create?

From redefining productivity to reimagining how we hire, this conversation invites us to challenge the status quo and slow down just enough to notice what’s trying to emerge.

Together, Laura and Annyse explore:

• The power of dissolving fear (instead of conquering it)
• How nature and rest can unlock flow and insight
• The role of curiosity, vulnerability, and co-creation in recruitment
• Rethinking job descriptions and leadership expectations
• The deep connection between how we live, work, and lead

And throughout it all, one quiet but powerful question lingers:

What would water teach us about how to lead — and how to live?

Tune in and join the conversation.
We’re so glad you’re here.
