The Coaching Environment: Nature, Neuroscience, and Behavior Change
REGISTER NOW
The environment where a coaching conversation takes place can shape how clients think, feel, connect, and approach change. Join Leigh-Ann Webster, NBC-HWC, founder of Outdoor 52 and former Executive Director of NBHWC, to explore how nature, movement, and meaningful behavior change connect.
Explore research from environmental neuroscience and psychology, including how natural settings may influence attention, stress regulation, and cognitive functioning. Discover practical ways to incorporate nature and movement into individual and group coaching while honoring client preferences and accessibility needs.

Coaches at all experience levels are welcome, whether you’re curious about incorporating nature into your practice or looking to build on an existing approach.
