Walking side-by-side with a coach can unleash creative and positive thinking.
Instead of staring at your coach via a screen walking side-by-side enables you to look around nature for inspiration: you might get a sense of calmness from the peace and quiet of the environment; you may feel the sun's warmth on your face and feel joy; you might smell the grass and the trees and unlock a thought; you might see the path ahead and have a realisation of the journey you want to take. These experiences may not happen in an office or online.
Why not ask your coach to walk with you - it doesn't have to be in the depths of a forest - perhaps round your local park or nearest green space - see how your thinking unlocks.
