Coaching at a mountain hut
Change of perspective even in hybrid format
Yesterday I had my first coaching session at a mountain hut... And yet it wasn't quite what it sounds like right now.
I myself was sitting in front of my screen in my coaching room in Frankfurt. My coachee had cycled up a mountain on his day off and was on the terrace of an alpine hut at the time of our coaching session.
I have always enjoyed working in nature in coaching and with teams, exploring topics by walking together or sending my clients on a mindfulness walk. But this hybrid version, in which my coachee was in nature and I was in front of the screen, was a first for me.
For me, the positive quality that even this mere 50% shift of coaching outside brought was quickly noticeable. The physical distance from the daily project routine created more inner peace. And the change in perspective was not only created by talking, but perhaps also unconsciously by the panoramic view from the mountain. ✨
Well, not every one of my coachees will cycle up a mountain for coaching. But I am thinking about how I can use the insights from this hybrid variant for future coaching processes.
What are your most interesting experiences with coaching outside of the usual spaces? ❓
