The Power of the Walk and Talk

In the fast-paced world of agencies, finding innovative ways to foster genuine dialogue and uncover workable solutions is crucial.

When a high percentage of briefing and scoping is still done screen to screen, we at GPI we've discovered a winning method that combines the freedom of being outdoors with the focused dialogue of a business consultation: We call them our Walk and Talk’s. This unconventional approach has proven to be a game-changer for our clients across the globe. From the stunning backdrops of Utah to the bustling streets of Hong Kong and Amsterdam, or the tranquil landscapes of Snowdonia and Ben Nevis.

The Power of the Walk and Talk

Picture this: instead of the conventional meeting room setting, imagine walking along a scenic trail or up a beautiful mountain with your consultant. The rhythm of your footsteps replaces the sounds of your phone, and the expansive views replace the confines of office walls. This shift in environment isn't just refreshing; it's transformative. Still with an agenda. Still with outcomes and actions. Still with drinks and snacks of course.

Here's why our Walk and Talk sessions are more than just a leisurely stroll—they're a catalyst for profound change and improvements.

1. Uninterrupted Focus

In the midst of nature's beauty, distractions fade away. During our Walk and Talk sessions, clients experience uninterrupted focus. Away from pings and email notifications, you can truly concentrate on discussing your business challenges and goals. This undivided attention fosters deeper insights and more meaningful conversations.

2. Creative Inspiration

Nature has a remarkable ability to spark creativity. Whether we're exploring rugged terrain or a beach walk, the natural surroundings stimulate fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. Our clients often find themselves freer in their thinking, sharing difficulties they might have held onto in a traditional office setting.

3. Physical Well-being

It's no secret that physical activity is beneficial for mental clarity and general health. Walking or hiking promotes circulation, reduces stress levels, and enhances overall well-being. By incorporating movement into our consultations, we ensure that clients not only engage mentally but also reap the physical benefits of exercise—an added bonus for busy professionals.

4. Building Relationships

Walking side by side creates a unique dynamic. The informal setting of a Walk and Talk session encourages a more relaxed atmosphere, fostering trust and openness between the us both. These sessions often lead to stronger, more collaborative relationships built on mutual understanding and shared experiences.

5. Strategic Reflection

The pace of a walk naturally lends itself to reflection. As clients traverse picturesque landscapes, they have the opportunity to reflect on their business strategies, challenges, and aspirations. This introspective aspect of our sessions helps clients gain clarity, refine your goals, and chart a clear path forward. Neither of us has to talk all the time, sometimes the quiet times are the best times.
