Walk, Think, Do Coaching
-
Are you a busy professional looking for space to think clearly and strategically?
-
Fancy a break from your screen or a change from the office?
-
Do you want to make wise use of time and get some bonus exercise?
My ‘Walk, Think, Do’ Coaching sessions could be the perfect fit.
These sessions bring the benefits of working with an experienced accredited coach with bonus well-being and fitness advantages.
As usual, the topic is of your choosing, typically something from professional life you’d like to improve or think differently about, for instance:
-Effective leadership, Agile Leadership
-Leading and adapting to change, new roles.
-People development, management and performance
-Agile Transformation, successful adoption of new approaches.
-Communication, Speaking and interpersonal skills
-Personal productivity and sustainable pace
-Blending work and other aspects of life.
Why walk?
Physical activity and being outdoors have remarkable benefits for our minds. Walking has been shown to reduce stress, improve resilience, increase creativity and cognitive ability. Calming environments help restore the brain and can even improve short term memory, more benefits (with references) are described in my 'Walking Coaching perfect partners for busy professionals' article.
The coaching conversation and style are similar to in the office and remote sessions. We will enjoy open spaces but I am not proposing mindfulness, forest bathing or jumping into the harbour. Pace, terrain and coffee stops can be agreed and adjusted as we go along. Any mobility and medical considerations can be discussed confidentially in advance.
How does it work?
Its simple. Conversations are typically an hour, meeting places and times are agreed per session. It may be close to your work, home office or one of Bristol’s green spaces. More rigorous walks can be held at Ashton Court or on the Downs. If the weather is dubious we may agree to retreat to a cafe or similarly quiet spot.
Other locations are possible, especially where a number of people are based in the same office. My travel times will vary so sessions can't be booked online yet, if you’re ready to explore coaching then book a discovery meeting here, if you'd like make an email enquiry, get in touch here.
