The Long Walk

A coaching deep dive that gets to the heart of the matter

The Long Walk is a coaching conversation that’s long enough for you to really get to the bottom of something. A chance to slow down, instead of speed up. Something like clarifying your ten year vision. Or preparing for your next leadership move. Or navigating a career transition to something that’s more purposeful and aligned. This is the sort of zoomed-out, bigger picture conversation that’s a gift to yourself – and offers clarity and confidence that you’re headed in the right direction.

The Long Walk was born because for many of my coaching clients, there are topics that can’t be fully covered in an hour. We don’t have to walk – the point is that we find an environment where you feel relaxed and at home.

Moving beyond online or the office helps allow for deep thought and spacious reflection. You get to cover something in its entirety, so that by the time we’re finished, you feel clear and complete.

My role is to provide the right mix of support and structure. Creating space for you to be seen and heard, I’ll help you zoom out and make sense. As an experienced Gestalt and somatic coach, I help you pay attention to parts of yourself and your experience that are key to unlocking the best of you.

The Long Walk offers a holistic, far-reaching coaching experience that might span the existential, as well as the professional. It’s a place that creates a spaciousness to review, unpack, delve deep and discover a new kind of clarity, purpose, energy or direction.


“Jon invited me to go for a long walk after I sold my company and was exploring what was next. Over a few hours, we went for a coffee, a beer and a walk in between. It was an opportunity to get everything off my mind and put the pieces of the puzzle together. I left absolutely clear on what was next – and landed my dream job two weeks later”

Gerard Mignone, General Manager, Geelong Fire Services

FAQ

What if I don’t like walking?

No problem, we don’t have to walk!

The point is that you choose an environment where you feel calm, creative, spacious… whatever will best help you explore what’s important to you. We’ll design that together.

How long is it?

As long as it takes!

The suggested time for the main session is 3 hours, as that’s a typical time for clients to be able to dive deep and feel complete. I suggest you allow a good amount of time and space after our session, so that we take the time that we need. Plus, that way you’ll have more time to enjoy the feeling of satisfaction!

what’s your training and approach?

As an experienced ICF-accredited coach, I’ve trained in a wide range of coaching methodologies, which include Gestalt coaching, ontological coaching, somatic modalities, process psychology, adult developmental coaching and business coaching.

what IF I LIVE IN A DIFFERENT CITY TO YOU?

If you don’t live in Melbourne, Australia – no problem. You can still engage in The Long Walk, we’ll just need to be a little more creative as to how we do it. If you travel for work, that’s one consideration. Otherwise, it’s likely to involve a combination of walking and talking, video and other online collaboration tools. We’ll codesign something that works best for you.
