For Online Coaching (Sep '22)
A programme for coaches who want to guide online clients to develop a new intelligence in Nature.
9-week online programme (7 September to 2 November 2022)
Coaching leaders outdoors brings new insights, embodied change and clarity about what's most important. The dynamic experience of working in Nature deepens the coaching inquiry. It connects with our somatic, collective and spiritual intelligence. Sustainable change happens in an inspired way.
Online working and the scale of challenges we are all facing makes that outdoor experience more important than ever. But how do you do outdoor coaching when you can't walk out together? Outdoor Intelligence for Online Coaching is a 9-week programme that shows you how.
What you'll get
You'll learn how to guide clients in developing their own practice of enquiring outside, that becomes a bridge into the coaching session. It extends their coaching experience beyond the one-to-one conversation. That means you can offer clients a unique online experience.
Participation in a 9 week online programme of 5 x live 2 hr sessions plus 5 hrs of online learning.
Confidence in setting up and managing a 6 session coaching relationship, working with the outdoors. During the online sessions, you'll have a peer coaching relationship in which to coach and be coached using an outdoor practice.
Experience working with a range of approaches for the clients to develop their own insights during time outside.
Opportunity to work with your own practice working outdoors.
Collaborative peer-learning to develop the programme material.
Your own coaching with a peer coach to experience your own outdoor intelligence.
A one-to-one 1/2 hour session with Fi in which to explore and plan how to integrate this into your coaching practice.
What participants have said…
“As someone who has worked in the environmental sphere for most of my career, the programme transformed my approach to coaching. It has enabled me to embrace the wider wisdom of natural systems and tune into the restorative enlargement that nature offers ... with a deeper, holistic, resonance. I loved it and would absolutely recommend to anyone who is curious about bringing the outdoors into their coaching practice.”
