Lots of people ask me about where the idea of Grounded Coaching came from. Well, like all the best ideas, it had been brewing in the back of my mind for a while, but it all came together when I was doing some Peer Coaching, right at the end of a session.

 

Grounded is:

​

• The feeling clients tell me that they’re looking for when life is busy running away with them

• The feeling you get when you truly understand yourself

• The position from which you can make the best decisions and the most exciting progress

• A true connection to nature and the world around us.

​

Our brains work differently when we're in nature. The busy command centre calms down and we are able to think deeper and access the more creative and strategic parts of our brains.  Nature presents metaphors to us that help us see things from a different perspective.  So why wouldn't we want to use this resource when we're grappling with working things out?
