What is Meant by Adventure Coaching?

Adventure is defined as “an exciting or unusual experience, a bold undertaking, the search for excitement or danger, a business undertaking, and a risk”.  A rich and satisfying life is full of adventure; some of which are planned and others stumbled into. I will come alongside of you as you love and embrace the life you are given. As a coachee you need never to fear failure or giving up.

Recently a friend and mentor in the Ultra marathon community led a group of students on an after dark “adventure run” up a mountain. 

“On the way down we went out to a hang gliding overlook. Leaving the overlook I got misplaced LOST. We bushwhacked off the mountain in a very thick briary, rocky downhill. I had no idea where we were. We kept going down, down down, finally coming out on a road. I had no idea where we were. Finally we received cell service and realized we were 7.5 miles away from where we planned to end. Classic adventure and the students’ will NEVER forget this run. We got back to Liberty just before midnight. Adventure seems to follow me.” David Horton

Adventure follows all of us, and most of it is unplanned. Life can be bewildering and yet remain adventurous with a coach.  Whether you hear a diagnosis of a life ending disease, a clean bill of health, a failed marriage, a failed company, a successful family life, a successful business life, a bewildered life can be an adventure if you have an adventure coach. 

You get to choose the topic, set the agenda and everything is strictly confidential. All of one’s life is connected to all the many aspects of that life.  You remain the most influential person and the greatest expert in your life.  The International Coaching Federation defines my role:  Adventure  Coaching is "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."
