Get the Big Picture
Taking business outside, giving you the time and space to spark creative thinking, reconnect with your purpose and find your path
Escape your desk and head into the mountains
I’m Ant, the founder of Mountain Boardroom
I get you out of the office and into the mountains, to spark extraordinary thinking in extraordinary landscapes.
We are living in a world which is constantly pressuring us to squeeze more and more ”stuff” into less and less time.
But our minds are not equipped to do the big, strategic, break-through thinking in 25-minute bitesize chunks or power-hours.
To do the visioning and planning and make the breakthroughs that will really make a difference we need to give ourselves time and space.
So while most Business Coaches, strategists and leadership consultants do their very best to squeeze into your busy schedule and minimise the amount of time they spend with you, I take the opposite approach.
Out in the mystical mountains of the UK, I give you ring-fenced time and space to clear your head for ground-breaking thinking and ask the big questions to enable you to reconnect with your purpose and find your path.
“A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world”
What we do…
We work both with individuals who need headspace to see the big picture and find clarity, and businesses who need to get their leadership teams together to build trust, innovate and overcome their mountains
We offer 1:1 sessions in the hills and mountains, to not only work ON your business, but to get a view from far above it.
Whether you need to take step back to look at your vision and purpose, have a ‘strategy day’ to plan your next steps, or simply step outside of the overwhelm and unblock your thinking, we have a number of sessions and routes available.
Our Team and Corporate adventures are for businesses that need ring-fenced time and space for their leadership teams, away from the day-to-day, to connect and think strategically.
We run mountain Walkshops to spark big-vision thinking, manage change and uncertainty, and create an unstoppable resilience, while building an incredible bond between your leaders, though the shared challenge you overcome.
Community can help us through the times of greatest uncertainty. Walking side-by-side, where silence is natural, not awkward, provides an environment to build enduring relationships.
We host a range of events, including a monthly netwalk, outdoor coaching Walkshops, challenge walks and retreats where we can connect, share stories, and grow as humans.
Why you need a Mountain Boardroom
I created Mountain Boardroom to be a natural sanctuary for busy and over-burdened business owners, executives and leadership teams, who feel like they’re moving faster and faster, in ever-decreasing circles, in a noisy, yet increasingly isolating digital world.
The incredible trail-blazers (like you) that I work with, often struggle with:
Getting Focussed in a world of constant noise and distractions
The constant distractions. The email you can’t ignore. The phone rings again. Someone knocks on the door.
Our adventures give you time and space to finish your thoughts, reflect, join the dots, explore what it means, and work out what comes next.
Finding Clarity when you are overwhlemed by the weeds
When you are stuck and overwhelmed, you can’t work out our problems with the same thinking that created them. Heading into the mountains creates a distance from the everday pressures, to-do lists and workloads, clearing your mind to tackle the big questions.and create a plan to move forwards
Time for Big-picture thinking to grow your business
Big thinking doesn’t happen in small rooms. Getting away from the day-to-day and into the mountains gives you a fresh perspective, allowing you to make the breakthroughs, form new innovative ideas, see the big picture, and the plot the route to get you there.
