“I actually help them gain an experience of the interconnectedness of how nature works by working with trees and living systems around, explaining how electromagnetism, how forest bathing, aromatic compounds, how connection through sound, how the wood wide web works with Mycelia! All of that, it just opens them up” ~ Giles Hutchins, Coach & Author

Pioneering practitioner, executive coach, thought leader, author, keynote speaker and land guardian Giles joins us from sixty acres of ancient forest known as Springwood in Sussex. He tells tales from his formative years as a child through to his coaching client work that blends rigorous academic research with his search for his soul-craft. Time and time again the power of serendipity and trust emerge in our conversation from his transition within the mainstream corporate world to his current coaching career. His six published books on business, regeneration, nature, separation and leadership track this journey and offer an insight into the depths of his contemplation and self-reflection across the years.

This episode is packed with a multitude of theories and resources from regeneration, Theory ‘U’, adult development, identity, systems thinking, biomimicry, ego soul dynamic vertical development and more. Giles offers insights into his transformational work through client stories with organisations such as Vivobarefoot and beyond.

“I was going to these networking events…I was turning up in rooms and it was all very structured, and I just hated it. I was getting really tired of it”

Lisa Partridge, founder of SIXCOMMS, joins us from the sunny island of Singapore where she has lived and worked for the last 15 years.

Lisa runs a regular walk and talk networking group, encouraging people to get outside, take a walk, have a chat and get creative discussing challenges and exchanging ideas.

Lisa explains the positive impact and benefits the walk and talk networking groups have on the people who attend. For example, how impending torrential rain formed a beautiful rainbow right at the end of a walk to perfectly frame a photograph. Or when one group member who arrived with a migraine felt so much better by the end of the walk.

Lisa also shares some insightful practical tips about running outdoor networking events, such as being aware of the weather, keeping hydrated, focusing on pace, being familiar with the route and knowing where the toilets are.

Lisa host her own podcast, the SIXCOMMS podcast, and she very willingly discusses what she has learnt and tips for starting your own podcast.

This episode has a real variety of insights and stories, hints and tips.

“What is your own nature practice? Because if you don't have your own relationship with nature and earth - how on earth are you even going to think about integrating into any aspects of your life?” ~ Tabi Jayne, Nature Trainer and Coach

Founding Director of Earthself, a community interest company Tabi Jayne joins Alex and Anna-Marie from her shed office on her allotment in Scotland for the first Coaching Outdoors Podcast conversation in series eight. Set against the back-drop of the local hills that influence her relationship with nature and Scotland she shares her stories and wisdom.

Our conversation is influenced by her encyclopaedic knowledge amassed over the last decade. She has tirelessly studied how to harness Earth’s intelligence to transform organisations and improve employee wellbeing, performance and productivity as well as enhance organisational sustainability and innovation. From biomimicry to the circular economy; systems thinking to transformation and beyond.

She dives into how she’s tweaked the International Coach Federation (ICF) definition of coaching to include Earth and nature, introduces a systemic lens on sustainable and resilient organisations, and openly discusses how her recent autism diagnosis has created a more authentic relationship with herself and how coaches need to understand neurodiversity within their coaching. She also raises some hard hitting questions for organisations (and us all!) to face up to about our relationship with nature.
