Let's take this outside...
Growing up in a Mountain School shaped my belief that people discover more about themselves when they step beyond the familiar. Today, I combine that background with my experience of leading and developing people to create outdoor programmes with clear outcomes: Better leadership, higher performance and stronger teams.
WHAT WE DO

WHY IT WORKS
A change of scenery can change everything: take your team outdoors and watch conversations open up, barriers come down and stronger bonds form through shared adventure.
Join leading blue-chip organisations that understand the value of outdoor learning. Better communication, greater confidence and teamwork that carries back into the workplace.
We are all about the Outcomes.
Wild Outcomes.
Our Flagship Outdoor Courses
Leadership Development High Performing Teams
Our two flagship programmes — Leadership Development and High Performing Teams — are designed to accelerate growth, build resilience, and strengthen the human connections that drive performance.
Both are immersive two-day experiences held in the stunning Lake District, combining outdoor challenge with practical leadership and team development frameworks. Accommodation is included, and spaces are limited
Leadership Development
Two Day High Impact
​
The title “Leader” does not make you a leader. That title is earned. You have a choice. You can become someone that changes worlds. Someone who makes a difference. That change starts with you.
For over 30 years I have studied what great leadership looks like – from business, culture, sport, exploration and the military. Over two days in the heart of the Lake District I will share this knowledge with you. While other people run to online courses, theoretical scholars or workshops in dreary hotels, I will take you into the outdoors to provide learning and experience that will last for a lifetime.
Plutarch said that “the mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” That idea sits at the heart of this experience. In the outdoors, stripped of the usual distractions, learning becomes clearer, more memorable. The splash of cold water on the face is no longer a metaphor - it is probably the River Esk.
Over the two days, we will explore three main themes:
​​
-
What Leaders Are
-
What Leaders Know
-
What Leaders Do
By the end of the programme, your Moleskine notebook will look gloriously battered — full of scribbled ideas, hard truths and practical insights you’ll actually use when you return to the real world. You will stare at that notebook on your desk and smile.
You will be energised. You will feel confident. What happens next is entirely up to you.
High Performing Teams
Two Day High Impact
​
High-performing teams do not happen by accident.
They are built deliberately—through clarity, standards, trust, communication, and leadership behaviours that create momentum rather than friction.

​
Too many organisations focus purely on process, structure, and performance metrics while ignoring the hidden force that shapes results every single day: culture.
​
Culture is not beanbags, mission statements, or posters on the wall.
Culture is how people behave when nobody is watching. It is how decisions get made, how conflict gets handled, how leaders communicate, and whether people arrive on a Sunday night looking forward to Monday—or dreading it.
​
This highly practical two day course explores what separates average teams from exceptional ones and gives leaders a practical playbook for building environments where people perform at their best.
​
Participants will leave with practical ideas they can implement immediately to improve trust, accountability, communication, motivation, and team performance.
