Welcome to Nature Connected Leadership Fall 2019 – Introduce yourself!

[Hannah]

Hi Everyone
I’m from UK and have only recently joined this course and catching up with the modules. I’m hoping I can attend one of the live webinars, if I can stay awake as its late at night for me.
I was introduced to Tom Brown twenty years ago, someone gave me his book Grandfather. I read it to my ten year old son and as I was reading it I felt something wake up in me, a yearning to learn more, to train in this earth-based skills. I had an image of working with lots of children.

I sought out training in the UK and found Thomas Schorr-con who had trained with Tom Brown and was leading courses here. Following a year’s course and survival quest with Thomas, I felt the next step was to travel to the states and do some training with Tom Brown. My experience of training at the Tracker school and meeting Tom Brown was life changing.

In 2002, I started my own Bushcraft and Nature Awareness school in the south of England working with many children as I had imagined when reading Tom’s book. Seventeen years on and I have worked with many people old and young from all walks of life. I’m passionate about sharing nature with people in a world where many our staved of any connection with the out-doors.

Over the years, I have found that many people whilst being immersed in nature quite naturally start processing or questioning their lives and as a result I found that I would naturally step into the role of coach. It seemed the obvious next step for me to train in coaching. I qualified as an mBit Coaching Course a year ago.

Recently, I have been searching for a nature based coaching course, I couldn’t find anything here in the UK that I really connected with. Then I stumbled on this on-line course with EBI. Reading the course content and watching the videos, I could feel my heart singing with delight, I knew this was the course for me! And of course it is, its teachings are deeply connected to Tom Brown’s and Jon Young’s teachings. I’m delighted to be hear on this journey with you all.

I look forward to connecting with you on the way.

Happy Fall! I am joining this course ever so late with only one opportunity to be on with you all Tuesday the 12th. My name is April and I live in the Hudson Valley, NY. Like most of you I am sensitive to the profound impact and energy nature plays on my mental, physical, and spiritual self. As a coach and Executive HR person, it is my goal to help incorporate this knowledge and work into my repertoire.

Now what did I miss? Lol!

Hi April, Welcome to the group. I joined late too. I haven’t managed to get to the lives yet as I live in the UK and the time is not so good for me. I am going to try to stay up for this weeks one.
Good luck with the course.
All the best
Hannah
