The Found Outside creative ethos.
The energising effect of another place.
Found Outside encourages you to step outside your normal environment, rhythm and routine - to place yourself somewhere new, revitalising and soulful as a catalyst for positivity, energy and new thinking. For many people, work no longer provides a source of changing environment – we talk of our worlds ‘shrinking’. Being somewhere new has never been so important to our stimulation and productivity.
The creative catalyst of walking and talking.
A growing body of studies support the positive impact of walking on divergent creative thinking, particularly when early on in a creative journey. This finding, coupled with the ease with which we share our thoughts with others when walking side-by-side rather than face-to-face in a room, is why walking outside is the central feature of your Found Outside experience.
The progressive power of inspirational ideas.
Classical coaching practises champion questions over answers. Found Outside takes a more inspirational and collaborative creative approach to solution-finding, freely embedding outside ideas in the conversation as a means of quickly testing, exploring and often defining what the future could look like.
What former Found Outsiders are saying.
“17days played an instrumental role in the development of the [a small victory] concept by helping to distill my skills, experience and passion into a clear value proposition. Josh was a great collaborator with invaluable insight and strong creative ideas. I look forward to working with him again in the future."
— Jeremy Scout. Founder, [a small victory].
Former Chief Brand Officer / Director Marketing & Communications, The Jamie Oliver Group.
“My Found Outside experience was a literal breath of fresh air at a crucial time in my company’s evolution and a pivotal moment in my life. Josh helped me think through my options and visualise my future. His empathy, creativity and wisdom were a powerful and welcome combination.”
— Nial Coen.
Former Founder & CEO, Snack Media
“Taking the time to step out of your business to get a 30,000ft perspective and plan for the future is critical. Doing it in an environment that allows for freedom to think and be creative is absolutely essential to the outcomes and routes to success. Found Outside caters for this beautifully with its location, surroundings, ambiance and, not least, access to Josh and his ability to listen, challenge and inspire".
— Rich Baker. Founder, Crystal Light.
