Discover how walking benefits body, brain & business
Walking
Scientific research has proven that when people are reconnected with nature at work their productivity improves, their mood improves, their overall job satisfaction improves resulting in higher employee retention and improved performance across a range of Key Performance Indicators.

Creating Your Team Walk
All Team Walks are personalised and designed to fulfil your team building aims and objectives.
Ahead of the walk, we discuss your outcomes. Then incorporating my proven brain-boosting approach we design your walk including tailor-made exercises to generate creativity and alternative thinking and possibilities to create your desired change.
We use a proven, systematic approach that the natural ecosystem. Within nature’s framework we view the world based on people’s connection (or disconnection) within the wider team, company or social system.
The seasonal cycles give opportunities for observation and development. Timelines, or circles can be created to identify inter-related elements, connections, opportunities and possibilities within the organisation and team cyclical nature of operational performance and client service delivery.
Nature play and storytelling with nature create experiential elements that support the development of creative thinking and development of new neural pathways supported by different perceptions and emotions.
