In rock climbing terms:
“Offwidth climbing is the most difficult to master. It is an awkward space and requires movements that can be physically awkward or uncomfortable.”
(Adapted from John Long, 2003, How to Rock Climb.)
You are well familiar with the fact that aspects of your personal and work life, just like nature, have awkward spaces and uncomfortable situations that require difficult movement in order to progress, and that in some cases being “stuck” is more a mental state than reality.
Offwidth’s team of facilitators, guides and coaches are here to help you as an individual, you as a departmental team, you as an organisation, to creatively analyse your way through these awkward spaces, finding the mental power to move beyond the ”offwidth”.

Corporate Events
Substantial evidence exists to indicate that fieldwork, properly conceived, adequately planned, well taught and effectively followed up, offers learners opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills in ways that add value to their everyday experiences in the office.
As with climbing an offwidth, we take a team’s awkward, uncomfortable, difficult space or situation and help them work their way to the top.

*can provide opportunities to identify and work through emotional and inter-personal stressors on the job
