Coaching Outdoors Episode 58 - Georgie Dunn

Coaching Outdoors

“I see parallels when I coach people who are really at capacity of their Executive Function and how nature really can unlock that just by giving us the space and perspective to do it”

For this podcast we journey to the stunning hilly coast line of East Lothian in Scotland to meet Georgie Dunn in one of her favourite places to coach outdoors.

Georgie shares her journey to becoming an outdoor coach, from her time spent in the Army developing her outdoor skills and pedigree, to her career change after Covid.

Talking about the burn out that lead to her taking a step away and recovering, Georgie talks about the importance of restoring the Executive Function of the brain and how nature can play a critical role in this – providing space, perspective and time to think. Linking this with Attention Restoration Theory.

Georgie also shares some of the challenges she has faced starting her business as an outdoor coach and some of the ways she has met those challenges. Along with describing the blue and green locations she coaches in around Northumberland and Scotland.
