Coaching Journeys
Reconnecting to our own nature, and with nature. Slowing down, creating space and taking time to reflect, make sense and go deeper.
There are so many ways to incorporate outdoor learning and to create the time and space for people to step back, slow down and focus on what’s important. My approach is collaborative, practical and enabling, and drawing on insights from both complexity science, neuroscience and ecology.
The coaching offer includes:
Nature walks (both face to face, as well as remote options)
A programme of online coaching (fortnightly or monthly calls)
Half-day ‘deep dive’ walk & talk
Full-day immersions
Blended approach embracing both online, outdoor, in-person, and remote
Immersing in nature as a vehicle for mentoring and coaching of individuals (use of metaphor and symbolism, as well as working with nature as a mirror and a source of insight and meaning)
Mountain huts and other ‘off the beaten track’ venues; using very different settings to facilitate Leadership Team dialogue in relation to tackling organisational challenges and creating shared visions for unlocking new opportunities. Such sessions, as well as being enjoyable, also support a team to go deeper in creating a culture of trust and partnering
Some examples…
A waterfall walk with a European senior team that led to each person sharing what was important to them personally and which, in turn, underpinned the creation of a visionary leadership manifesto and a subsequent step-change in business performance
Working outdoors experientially with an Exec Team to set the foundations for a rapid organisation-wide cultural transformation programme (moving from fear to freedom), which unleashed genuine creativity, accountability, and increased profitability
For a global client, incorporating time spent outdoors as a core element for leadership development and as a catalyst for individual reflection and inquiry. And, in pairs, walks & talks to support peer coaching to explore new possibilities
