Getting Started With Nature Coaching

In this session Lesley Roberts will take us through the foundational considerations for stepping outside with your coaching conversations. She’ll share some stories and information as well as creating the opportunity for Q&A. You’ll leave feeling equipped to enjoy time in nature with your clients.

We’ll touch on how to:

– Identify the practical and ethical foundations of coaching outdoors, including considerations for confidentiality, accessibility, environmental stewardship and client wellbeing.
– Evaluate how natural environments can support coaching conversations, enabling greater presence, awareness, creativity and systemic thinking.
– Apply appropriate contracting and facilitation approaches to safely and effectively coach in outdoor settings, while respecting both client autonomy and the more-than-human environment.

Prior to the session, we invite you to take a walk in two different environments and seeing how it makes you feel.
