“I do feel this is the start of a new movement” – James Farrell

Following the huge success of the inaugural Coaching Outdoors Live event on the beautiful grounds of Henley Business School, three of the workshop facilitators joined Anna-Marie the following morning to reflect on the event.

Diana Tedoldi posed some great questions to Toby Cowern, James Farrell, Anna-Marie and herself.

They reflected on the biggest insights and learning they took from the event, how the event has started a movement and what the future holds for Coaching Outdoors.

Toby used the metaphor of a boulder “Some events are seminal... I think this was less seminal and more seismic, we threw a big old boulder and it made a big splash.”

James shared “The overall sense I was left with was just the hunger for, the interest for, people working in this space and the diversity of approach.”

Diana spoke of embodiment “Our brain, our system needs connection... I love embodied things like in person, so this is one of the real values I got from this.”

And Anna-Marie said that many people at the event described it perfectly as finding their Tribe “and it was a relief. It was a visceral, embodied “wow, yes, I’ve found my Tribe”

Enjoy their reflections on the event and please share your reflections on the event and your key take aways on our LinkedIn community page here https://www.linkedin.com/company/coaching-outdoors-podcast/

More videos and photos will be shared from the event, so watch this space.

Thank you once again to all the workshop facilitators, the event planning team at Henley and all our amazing attendees.

“When you go up on a peak you have a great perspective. When you stand on top of that… it’s just the serenity, it’s like wow. And you can look so far. It gives you a very different perspective on life.”

Dr Oliver Wirths, based in Zurich, Switzerland, may have the most unique outdoor coaching technique we have discovered yet!

Oliver puts his qualifications as an alpinist to great use, taking his clients on journeys of self-discovery and change through the alpine forests and up into the mountains, to gain new perspectives and challenge their status quo. At the end of these alpine adventures, Oliver offers his clients the opportunity for the ultimate challenge, to paraglide in tandem with him back down to the base of the mountain. Bringing a whole new dimension to outdoor coaching…..flying!

Oliver’s journey has taken him from gaining a PhD in Economics and working in Strategy for Lufthanza, to qualifying as a coach and joining ONEDAY as an Outdoor Leadership coach.

Oliver shares many really insightful stories, explaining the benefits some of his clients have gained from spending time in the stunning scenery of the Alps; challenging themselves, learning how to relinquish control, trusting themselves and having fun, as well as what sort of skills and qualifications are needed to offer his unique blend of coaching.

“We were sitting in one of those fishbowl offices and it was a beautiful summer day, and I could see the sun was shining outside, and my client was stuck. And I was probably stuck too.”

Grattan and Dr Suess his four-legged companion join Alex and Anna-Marie from their local coaching territory on Killiney Hill overlooking Dublin Bay and Dalkey Island. Self-described as endlessly curious Grattan’s fascination and perplexation by human beings has led him to craft a career as a Regenerative and Leadership Coach. He is also a teacher trainer and facilitator of the Mindfulness Based Sustainable Transformation (MDST) course with the Inner Green Deal (not-for-profit Leadership Development Organisation), Lecturer with Dublin Business School facilitating Diploma in Coaching for Performance since 2014 and a member of the Climate Coaching Alliance.

Our interview explores how the legendary Sir John Whitmore shaped his early coaching career through three provocations; how his voluntary admission into a psychiatric hospital suffering from severe depression led to mindfulness that transformed his life; what unfurled from his decision to escape a fish bowl office and head outdoors on a beautiful summer’s day…and so much more…

***Warning – Please note Grattan displays enormous vulnerability during our conversation where we touch on his depression, experience during his voluntary admission at the John of God psychiatric hospital and suicidality***
