The Natural Leadership Coach
Group Coaching
Time to get out of the weeds and start thriving?
The Coaching Garden: Tending to Your Inner Landscape is a group coaching series for leaders, professionals, founders and freelancers in Sheffield.
Are you feeling stuck in a season of burnout, or uncertain of what you need in order to thrive through constant change?
When we feel unsure or overwhelmed, we often try to force growth. But as any gardener knows, you can’t pressure a seed to make it grow faster - you have to create the right environment.
Join me for a series of nature-assisted, interactive group coaching sessions. We’re stepping out of the office and into Woodseats Community Garden to apply the sustainable wisdom of Permaculture to your life.
Each 2.5 hour session is a standalone workshop, but together they form a complete ‘growing season’ for your personal development. Sessions bring to life a different permaculture principle by combining coaching theory with the transformative power of nature. The workshop formats will allow space for individual reflection, creative activities and group sharing.

Free Monthly Walk-and-Talks
Can't see the wood for the trees?
Thinking on Your Feet is a casually facilitated walk-and-talk giving leaders, professionals and freelancers in Sheffield the time to get out of the weeds and think clearly.
Join us for a mid-week, nature-inspired outdoor workshop delivered by experienced coach and facilitator, Lianne Mellor.
It's super common to find yourself in a mid-week slump, stuck at your desk, to-do list growing, priorities shifting, interruptions increasing, distractions distracting, thinking yourself in circles.
'Thinking on Your Feet' offers an informal, supportive, light-hearted environment to meet others, sort through your thoughts and guide someone else to do the same.
This isn't a networking event, in fact you'll be encouraged to keep your role and organisation confidential (unless you really want to share it) so you can talk freely about whatever you'd like to think through.
Each session will be different, but the below gives you an idea of how it will flow;
-
Meeting up at the 'Grey to Green' outside Exchange Place Studios
-
Warm welcome and group agreements shared
-
Brief introduction to session and activity
-
Pairing up with someone in the group
-
A gently-paced, well-spaced stroll through the 'grey to green' whilst using the activity to guide your discussion
-
Return to the meeting point to close the session and say our goodbyes
-
Starting our day with renewed clarity, energy and connection!
Bookable Workshops & Talks
For your organisation or upcoming event
As an experienced speaker and facilitator, I can create a bespoke session to inspire your staff or event attendees.
Below are some examples of workshops & talks you can book for your next away day, lunch-and-learn series or development programme;
-
Leading Like a Gardener: Cultivating Wisdom from Nature to Nurture People - A practical session using natural metaphors and analogies as a way of understanding the world around us and how we relate to others. Attendees will explore insights from the perspective of a ‘gardener’, that we’ll turn into guiding principles and tangible actions for supporting their teams and the wider ecosystem.
-
Giving Voice to the Unspeakable with Imagery - A fun, creative session using imagery and symbolism to reflect, create narratives and find meaning. Attendees will explore a recent event or challenge to share insights and use storytelling skills to uncover next steps.
-
Making the Invisible Visible with Constellations Coaching - An interactive session exploring the dynamics between human and intangible elements of a workplace system. Attendees will experience mapping and exploring a constellation of their own to find insights and options where they previously felt stuck.
-
Utilising your Network to Overcome Imposter Syndrome - A supportive session using the perspectives of those in the room to raise self awareness and create a grounded sense of confidence. Attendees will learn a series of simple yet effective techniques for moving through feelings of imposter syndrome with humour and lightness.
-
Growing Through the Discomfort of Development - A practical session exploring why developing new skills feels uncomfortable and the mindsets that help ease this. Attendees will create a personalised map of their strengths and areas to develop alongside insights of what might trip them up along their path to being a lifelong learner.
Workshops are adapted to the needs of the group and context of the organisation or event. The above list isn't exhaustive, just examples of the kinds of sessions I can facilitate. Get in touch to discuss your ideas and how I might be able to design and deliver a memorable event for your attendees.
