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, immerse yourself in the mountains and find your path
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.
I created Mountain Boardroom to be a natural sanctuary for busy business owners, executives and teams, who feel like they’re moving in ever-decreasing circles in an online and increasingly isolated digital world,
I give you ring-fenced time and space on adventures into stunning mountain landscapes to clear your head for ground-breaking thinking and ask the big questions to enable you to reconnect with your true, natural self.
“A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world”
The 2000ft View
There is nothing quite like the clarity that that walking in the mountains can bring. In a world where we are spending more and more time in small, boxy rooms, the impact of literally exapanding your horizons makes the every-day fires seem trivial, and you finally start to see the big picture.
Whether you are looking to start your own journey to extraordinary, inspired thinking, or to ignite innovation, ingenuity and strategic thinking amonst your leadership team, the transformation starts by disconnecting from the hustle, the noise and the mundane, giving you time and space to free your mind and let the ideas to flow.
What we do…
It can be hard to carve out time and space for big thinking when you’re busily stuck in the weeds.
We offer expeditions for Business Owners, which give you time and space to get a fresh perspective, work through your thoughts, unblock your mind and create an inspired plan.
Big mountains, bold ideas, audacious ambitions.
If the thinking in your boardroom is falling flat, we can take you into the mountains
From team-building hikes, to inspirational strategy walkshops, we will help your team to connect the dots and use the power of walking oudoors to unlock extraordinary creative thinking.
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 monthly netwalks, outdoor coaching workshops, challenge walks, support groups and retreats where we can connect and grow as humans.
What our Clients Think…
“I found more than just the walk outdoors, and the achievement of climbing Ingleborough, having a ‘like mind’ to sound off with was very refreshing”
“If you fancy some coaching but are not keen on sitting in a meeting room with a whiteboard for hours then speak to Ant!!”
Your journey - how it works
Creating a safe, creative playground
Feeling safe is essential to allow free and honest conversations to take place. I am a fully qualified and insured outdoor leader and outdoor first aider. Psychological safety is also crucial, and one of the reasons I take my conversations outside is to make sure no-one can overhear.
Preparing for your journey
I curate your adventure, choosing a location and environment that tunes into who you are and what you seek. By the time we meet for our adventure, you are ready for it.
Clearing the weeds
It’s hard to arrive in a session with your mind ready to go. The benefit of longer sessions (and walking!) is that it gives us time to work through emptying what’s in your ‘buffer’, giving us a clean slate for inspiration.
Making the breakthroughs
We all like to think that inspiration just hits us, but that moment takes time to arrive. Our sessions allow us to explore paths, hit an impasse, then circle back again on the big stuff, when we are ready to face it.
Capturing the big plans
You might see me recording voice notes throughout our session – this is to make sure we don’t miss any actions! But what about when we need to do some written work? Depending on the weather, we’ll either find a nice spot, pitch the tarp, grab a coffee, or hunker down in the ‘van
Turning words, into actions, into results
You own your actions, you own your plan, you own your strategy. Following each session, I’ll support you to create these, and check in regularly to make sure you’re on track!
Join me at our next event
Our events are open to anyone and have one main purpose: To give you time and space, away from your desk, to reset, recharge and inspire extraordinary thinking. We have a variety of outdoor adventures, from local Wellness Walks, to group ‘Walkshops’ in the hills, to full-day expeditions into the mountains.
