Everyone understands the benefit of walking: it relieves stress, releases mood enhancing endorphins and burns calories.
People who have noticed that great conversations often happen while you walk have capitalised on this to introduce business coaching walks. Maddison Coaching will add a third benefit by adding their group coaching skills to enhance the support available during this networking opportunity.
Those developing their business or just starting up are looking for supportive events, we can make it an even more valuable experience by adding in the group coaching element.
The Group Coaching
Bringing her varied experiences and professional qualifications, Vicky draws on a diverse set of coaching techniques to get the most out of the session for all walkers. Typical group coaching topics for the netwalking may include: networking to develop and maintain relationships; building your business culture and values; and being confident with your sales pitch. To get the very best from the group coaching we would like you to choose the topics, so be sure to raise your suggestions with us either on the day or as you book your place.
What to expect
Net-walkers will start each session with some refreshments and the opportunity to introduce themselves during the first group coaching activity led by Vicky. The walk – around an hour over beautiful but easy terrain – is then an opportunity for walkers to discuss any topics further, perhaps share their own business experiences or challenges with others. The netwalk then concludes back at the starting point with a final chance to exchange business cards and discuss that vital question what next?
What are the benefits?
The challenges of recent years seem to have given us all a new appreciation of the importance, not just of getting out for a walk, but of making positive connections. Those developing their business or just starting up are looking for supportive networking events, we can make it an even more valuable experience by adding in the group coaching element.
Value for money
Each walk costs just £20 per delegate, which includes refreshments, the guided walk and the group coaching session. After each walk, you will also have access to our net-walking members listing so you can connect with and support the other business professionals who you have met.
How to book?
Bespoke netwalking events can be arranged specifically for an organisation or group; please get in touch to discuss dates and locations.
Alternately, you can join one of our ‘open’ netwalks which run from time to time during the year, usually in the warmer months. Please get in touch or watch our LinkedIn page for the next open walk date.
“I encourage everyone to try it: to enjoy the open air, some gentle exercise, alongside the networking and coaching opportunity. Depending on where we are going, walkers can usually bring dogs on leads too – another benefit!” Vicky Maddison
