Coaching: Walk and talk
To celebrate Coaching Week (3-9 June), Senior Consultant and coach Jo Rix shares her experiences of ‘walking coaching’.
I love to be outside in the fresh air. I always feel better once I’ve been outside. As a mum of two small children, I always notice a difference in their behaviour once they’ve played outside. We live in a small village, in a house that backs on to the countryside, so access to the great outdoors is easy for us.
As I’ve become older, I’ve realised that being outdoors in the elements is therapeutically good for you and that’s why I’ve started to run coaching sessions outside. It doesn’t suit everyone but, for those who feel constrained by being indoors, it’s a great option.
I have found walking and talking has been effective on many levels. Here are some of the benefits I’ve witnessed:
I believe nature is intrinsically good for the soul, whether we are troubled or not, but especially so when we are struggling with problems and challenges.
Outdoors is my go-to when I need time to reflect. If you’re a coach or coachee, consider the great outdoors for talking over your problems.
Jo has also recorded a short video about the benefits of coaching.
