With over 25 years of experience, I understand the challenges facing higher education faculty and staff today. As an award-winning tenured full professor, an administrator in academic affairs, a Fulbright research scholar, and an author and keynote speaker, my own experience informs my mission to empower others to seek out opportunities that will provide personal and professional fulfillment.
Walk-and-talk coaching is an evidence-based practice that works effectively to allow you to see things differently or think differently, and to free you up for new possibilities. Research has shown that being outdoors can provide a sense of spaciousness needed for an expansion of perspective. New ideas are more likely to be integrated into your actions, rather than lost in a traditional sedentary conversation.
Benefits of walk-and-talk coaching include:
a sense of enhanced creativity and openness to new ideas;
an increased awareness of your senses and being present in the moment;
a positive experience of nature, enjoying the outdoors, being in the open air and its calming effect
Walk-and-talk coaching is an audio-only practice that requires special preparation; instructions will be provided prior to beginning the series. Private and confidential audio-only coaching allows greater flexibility than screen-based virtual meetings. In addition to all of the benefits of working with a coach, you’ll be gifting yourself a valuable wellness practice.
