Coming Back Around Again!
I caught up with my colleague Niamh Cull last week, who through our mutual mentoring has helped me put the focus back on my Walk & Talk Coaching Programme. Sometimes, you just need that simple roadmap or a buddy to get you started!
With the further lockdown in place, it got me thinking about all the benefits of mindfulness, coaching, and being outside in the great outdoors - health-wise, relational, and even corporate.
Through my Walk & Talk Programme you'll learn to recognise that its important to care about yourself, and that doing this practice could also be a gift to those around you. It's like the analogy of putting your own oxygen mask on first!
To be able to stop and pause. Sometimes a change in state is enough to create those positive endorphins, along with being coached to help consider different options available to you.
Take a break from the norm. Forget being glued to your desk and screen and go for a walk for an hour. This is invaluable, plus you could get around 7000 steps in to boot!
There may be fewer hours of daylight at the moment, but a brisk walk in the fresh air can definitely blow the cobwebs away and make you feel truly alive again.
To book a Walk & Talk session with me, give me a call on 07813 098676 today.
With the further lockdown in place, it got me thinking about all the benefits of mindfulness, coaching, and being outside in the great outdoors - health-wise, relational, and even corporate.
Here are five essential elements to the benefits of Walk & Talk in daily life:
1. Learning
You may have specific coaching goals to focus on, or your goal may simply be to practice mindfulness. For example, if your mind wanders a lot then you're learning how busy the mind truly is. If it wanders a lot onto a particular topic, you're learning to what degree that topic is on your mind. If it's on your mind a lot, you learn that whatever it is needs attending to and can make the choice to focus on it.2. Focusing on you

3. Supporting your mental well-being

4. Helping your physical well-being

5. Ensuring you see daylight and fresh air!
There may be fewer hours of daylight at the moment, but a brisk walk in the fresh air can definitely blow the cobwebs away and make you feel truly alive again.

I have previously written about "Belonging - what does this mean to you?" (http://j-w-c.co.uk/blog-display/293).

Recently, I was delivering the "First 90 Days in your New Role" for LHH.
