Walk and Talk: outdoor meetings
In recent years, and particularly since the health crisis, reinventing the meeting has become a necessity. Walk & Talk, stand-up meetings, Energizers: these are just some of the meeting formats that are no longer confined within 4 walls, but are being exported to the outside world.
By inviting nature into work meetings, the corporate world breaks with traditional meeting codes and offers its employees a breath of fresh air. Benefits and advantages guaranteed.
Walking together to move forward together
What is a Walk & Talk? The concept is simple: hold a meeting while walking. At a time when we've missed nature so much during confinement, this new meeting format that companies are increasingly offering their employees is a rich idea.
Simplified logistics, a less formal setting that breaks down hierarchies and brings people closer together, physical engagement that's good for your health, a reconnection with nature that enhances creativity and stimulates the brain - all these contribute to this new kind of meeting, which is appreciated by all and breathes new energy into the group.
Dynamic and motivating, Walk & Talk sessions are also often highly productive. Carried away by a surge of creativity unleashed by walking, participants are eager for action to follow quickly.
This makes Walk & Talk ideal for brainstorming and problem-solving.
Stand-up Meetings Out and about!
In the same spirit as Walk & Talk, sub-committees can also be held outdoors. They can take the form of seated sessions, in a semi-circle, with nature as a backdrop, or stand-up meetings . In small groups, participants are focused, concerned and committed.
As we all know, being immersed in nature always generates positive emotions: the state of mind of participants is different from that in the confines of a meeting room, however well-equipped it may be. Imagination is unleashed, ideas flow, optimism wins out over pessimism, and activity prevails over passivity.
Outdoor Energizers: green rituals
Stretching, yoga, body warm-up, vocal exercises and musical workshops are allEnergizer Meetings that can be held outdoors. Nature is the perfect setting for releasing a voice, waking up a numb body after a night's sleep, or boosting wavering energy after lunch.
During a seminar, these short sessions can be organized every morning and afternoon, as rituals to wake up and cheer up the working day.
The trifecta
From now on, the collective drive towards greater respect for nature and people is also reflected in these new ways of working and meeting. Productivity, well-being at work and respect for the environment are at last reconciled, forming the winning trio of these outdoor sessions, which are becoming the new standard in the world of meetings.
