Three reasons to do a walking-meeting

This was my Monday morning backdrop.

Not a sightseeing trip but a walk & talk with a CEO through St James’s Park and Green Park to discover and unearth stories from their working life. For over ten years I’ve led business leaders, founders and entrepreneurs on walks to help them find fuel and direction, or to uncover stories to generate engagement and drive change.

Why do I run these sessions as walking meetings rather than online or in an office? Because walking:

  1. provides a valuable route for reflection: to look at leadership and organisational life from an outside perspective, away from the office and off-screen.

  2. gets you out in the fresh air and in-motion, letting the ideas flow and supercharging the creative process.

  3. presents to you various sights and sounds. These act as signposts and prompts for triggering ideas and for taking the conversation down unplanned paths.
