Coaching Outdoors Episode 11 - Dave Stewart

On today’s podcast, the first of Season 2 of the Coaching Outdoors Podcast Series, our guest is Dave Stewart, founder of “The Fresh Air Leadership Company”.Dave has a wealth of experience in the outdoor world, having a background in the military and then as a mountain rescue specialist, which he brings to his group and team coaching journeys. We talk about Dave’s 3 P’s of outdoor coaching - Place, People and Process - and how important each is to creating these wonderful learning experiences for his clients. Dave also shares how he uses the technique of Appreciative Inquiry to help the groups and teams he coaches to identify the big question(s) they are facing and want to inquire about. Using the landscape to then delve into the question, discussing what the ideal future would look like and identifying what things they can do now to achieve that ideal future.We also discuss the practicalities of taking groups of people on outdoor coaching adventures, keeping them safe, excited and giving them a sense of freedom to explore mentally, physically and emotionally without worrying about what is going on ‘behind the scenes’.Through story-telling and anchoring, Dave ensures his clients have a truly experiential outdoor coaching journey.  View podcasts and get in touch. https://www.coaching-outdoors.com Anna-Marie https://www.rfmcoaching.com Alex https://www.alexburnconsulting.com   #coachingoutdoors #outdoorcoaching #coaching #ecopsychology #ecocoaching #bluespace #greenspace #natureconnectedness #naturalenvironments #ecology #nature #environment #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coaches #coachees #movement #thinkingdifferently
