Henley Business School and the ‘Coaching Outdoors’ podcast are delighted to partner for the inaugural global ‘Coaching Outdoors Live’. Set within the stunning Greenland campus adjacent to the River Thames this outdoor event will showcase the breadth and depth of outdoor coaching.

Immerse yourself in the art and science of coaching outdoors with a balance of experiential workshops based on recent scientific research. Meet global outdoor coaching thought-leaders to deepen your coaching practice with tools and techniques based on embodiment, mindfulness, constellations, blue health, climate, bush-craft, supervision and more. Professor Jonathan Passmore will also reveal insights from his latest research on outdoor coaching published Spring 2024.

Contribute to roundtable discussions to help shape the future of the outdoor coaching space and connect with likeminded coaches who have an interest in taking their practice outdoors and co-creating with nature.

The ‘Coaching Outdoors’ podcast has showcased a multitude of outdoor coaches and practitioners to encourage coaches, coach supervisors, facilitators, managers or anyone with an interest in this area to step outside and co-create with nature.

Since 2021 Anna-Marie and Alex have scoured the world for thought-leaders and innovators in the outdoor coaching space to share their knowledge, experience and skills with over fifty episodes.

From far-flung corners of the earth; Colorado, USA to Sydney, Australia and Lisbon, Portugal to London, UK and beyond, ‘Coaching Outdoors’ guests have shared ideas around adventure, vision quests, blue health, sit spots, netwalking, virtual reality, systems and more. This illustrates the opportunities which exist within coaching outdoors and partnering with nature.

Agenda to be confirmed soon....
