The Outdoor Adventure Series welcomes Ellie Lloyd-Jones, founder of Elevate with Ellie and Elevate Networking, and Jonathan Passmore, professor, award-winning psychologist, Master Coach, and author, to chat about their new book, "Outdoor Coaching: A Practical Guide for Coaches and Supervisors to Working with Clients, Teams and Groups using Blue-Green Psychology."

Together, they share their journeys of bringing coaching outside the traditional office walls, exploring the powerful intersection of personal development, group dynamics, and nature.

Ellie talks about her transition from corporate life to leading group coaching sessions in England's lush landscapes, highlighting how the outdoor environment creates space for authentic connection and creativity. Jonathan Passmore reflects on his decades of experience coaching leaders and teams, revealing the moment he realized that moving conversations outdoors could unlock deeper growth by dismantling professional facades and tapping into our more natural selves. They discuss their collaborative journey—how a chance meeting at a coaching conference blossomed into the completion of the Thames Path walking project and their book.

This episode will inspire you to step outside, reconnect with nature, and discover the surprising benefits that await when we take our coaching out of the office and onto the trail.
