As coaching continues to mature as a profession, one practice stands out as essential for maintaining excellence, preventing burnout, and serving clients at the highest level: coaching supervision. I am genuinely excited about offering this transformative practice – particularly in outdoor settings, where something quite magical happens to the quality of our reflective thinking.

In a world that increasingly disconnects us from both our bodies and the earth, walking coaching offers a return to an ancient but essential way of knowing ourselves and navigating life's complexities.

What if the answers you've been searching for aren't found in books, therapy sessions, or endless mental analysis—but in a mindful walk through nature? Whilst walking coaching with an experienced guide offers profound benefits, there are times when a self-guided conscious walk is exactly what you need…

Do we believe that we have a right to trade a tiny being’s life for a moment of possible personal discomfort? Many of us do. However the harm we inflict on a tiny and ‘insignificant’, single wasp on the one hand, eventually scales up to the damage we do to ourselves, our fellow beings and the planet on the other.

Since 2008, Walking Coach has worked with and through the natural world to provide transformative learning and development experiences for leaders from across the business world. Yet you might wonder: what has nature got to do with organisational life or leadership? And why does it matter now more than ever?

This is the moment I live for in retreat work—when the person who arrived full of doubt transforms into someone who believes they can achieve anything. When walkers become adventurers, and adventurers discover their inner leaders. The question isn't whether you're ready for the mountain. The question is: are you ready for who you might become when you reach the top?

Walking with others has its place, but when it comes to personal development and coaching, going solo offers something uniquely powerful. Here's why solo walking creates the ideal conditions for meaningful change and self-discovery.

Picture executive coaching and most of us still imagine leather chairs, boardrooms, or that classic therapist's office setup. For over 15 years now, Walking Coach® has been quietly revolutionising this approach, and finally, the rest of the world is catching up.

Where do your walks take you? Do they pull your attention downward and inward, narrowing your world to the small circle of ground at your feet? Or do they lift your gaze outward and upward, expanding your sense of what's possible? Your next walk—literal or metaphorical—could be the beginning of an entirely new adventure. The path is there. The choice is yours.

The more we immerse ourselves in artificial environments—offices, meeting rooms, urban landscapes—the more our thinking becomes shaped by those environments. Linear. Controlled. Disconnected from the natural rhythms and relationships that have sustained life for millions of years. But is there another way to meet today’s challenges?
