Guest Podcast - Coaching Outdoors with Anna-Marie Watson (ft. Lesley Roberts)

Alex Burn & Anna-Marie Watson have a mutual shared passion for coaching and the outdoor environment. 

Together they are on a mission to encourage coaches to take their practice outside. In this Coaching Outdoors podcast series, Alex and Anna-Marie touch on the benefits of nature and movement within coaching and share their individual backstories, which led them to work within this coaching niche.

In this episode, they track Lesley Roberts’ initial connection to nature playing on a swing in her back garden to becoming an Outdoor Education teacher, before moving into the corporate world, then creating her own businesses. She’s a trail-blazer in the outdoor coach training world having designed two outdoor coaching programmes; Getting Started Coaching Outdoors and Nature as Co-Facilitator. 

Be swept away by Lesleys’ calming Scottish lilt for advice on how to tackle common challenges outdoor coaches face, the need to nail Maslow Hierarchy of Needs and power of collaboration within the outdoor coaching community.
