Abstract
Coaching has been defined as 'a partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential' (ICF, nd). As coaches and coaching psychologists, understanding how to maximize creativity and inspiration is an important skill. A potentially powerful and innovative way to do this is by walking with our coachees outdoors in natural environments ie nature. In this brief article we review the evidence to highlight how walking side-by-side can potentially optimize coaching sessions.
