“Trust in connection with outdoor coaching…this starts to build way before your clients even reach out to you. It starts in two pathways. The first, if a client considers outdoor coaching they are going to stalk you potential longer than they would do another coach because they need to have a bit more trust in you because you’re taking them to a place they’ve potentially never been before”
This episode of the Coaching Outdoors Podcast delves deep into the topic of research into the benefits of taking coaching outdoors, both for the coach and the client.
Claudia Geratz is working hard on her MSc dissertation, looking at how the coaching alliance develops within the outdoor space, and took time out from her analysis and write up to share some of the exciting findings of her research.
Claudia’s research has identified a number of key themes which can help us to understand the benefits of coaching outdoors: space; trust; movement; freedom; connection; side-by-side walking and the coaching alliance. As well as the vital importance of post-it notes when you’re doing thematic analysis!
Watch this space for the written research once Claudia has completed it.
