Inside Outside Coaching

Work walk today supporting autistic and ADHD adults into the outside. I consider myself fortunate that this is part of my day job. Such a positive shift in mindset when spending the day in such glorious open space, never mind the physical challenge.

I was well excited to deliver my first Mountain Training CPD course over the weekend in the Peak District. I finally took the plunge, after all these years of delivering training for other organisations, I thought I'd give it a go! It was flippin awesome.
The first part of the day was classroom based, understanding how we can support people with differing needs to access the outdoors, but the weather was lush and the group wanted to be in the sun, so I unplugged the laptop and we found a nice spot in the sun to discuss all things neuro. And the afternoon was a sensory walk, exploring the challenges which can present when supporting a group who have all sorts of different sensory profiles and ensuring we give each and everyone a positive experience of being in the outdoors.
All fuelled by the finest biscuits known to us humans.

I also received some great feedback from one of the attendees from Neurodivergent MiNDs which I'd like to share...
..'Thank you so much for the course yesterday. I enjoyed it so much and have come away feeling inspired and even more motivated to get some neuroinclusive walks going in my local area!

I found the course really informative. Whilst I am neurodivergent myself and have a strong background in neuroinclusive practice, I still learned a huge amount.Your experience of supporting such a diverse range of people over many years came through in every topic we covered. You gave real depth of insight into the barriers neurodivergent people may face in accessing the outdoors and the practical considerations and adjustments that can help. What shone through most of all was your positive, respectful and warm view of the people you work with.
Your commitment to creating spaces where people gain a genuine sense of their own agency and achieve things that may once have felt completely out of reach was truly inspiring! '

Buzzin!

Nice words from Rich of Richard Fish Outdoor Adventures and Nature Lincolnshire about I. Thanks pal.

Meet the Team: Next up… Steve! 🥾

Many of you will know RFOA regular Steve — aka Scottish Steve, aka Tich! 😄

Steve is a Mountain Leader who loves a long-distance trail, but he’s equally happy tackling shorter routes and supporting others along the way.

He’s a busy guy! His day job is with the NHS Autism/ADHD Service, where he leads walks, and he’s also a Life Coach with his own company, Inside Outside Coaching, where he uses the outdoors as part of his coaching.

Putting his vast array of people skills to great use, Steve has recently written a CPD course for Outdoor Instructors focusing on neurodivergence — something he’s incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about.

Steve’s enthusiasm is infectious, and he’s another hugely popular member of the team! 🙌

Whilst walking, Steve loves Scottish craic, sunglasses, Paramo gear, vegan sweets and barefoot soles! 😂🏔️😎 🍬🦶

We’re very lucky to have you on the team, Steve! 💚

For anyone who might be interested, I'll be running this course in Grindleford on 17 October. The session focuses on sharing practical knowledge and experience around how we can better support neurodivergent people to access and enjoy the outdoors.

Over the past five years, I've led monthly wellbeing walks for autistic and ADHD adults in the Peak District as part of an NHS-funded Adult Neurodevelopmental Support Service. During that time, I've learned a great deal about what helps people feel safe, included, and able to benefit from outdoor spaces, and I'm looking forward to sharing those insights with others.
