Want to hear us in action? Below is a recorded webinar that includes 30 minutes of sample educational content.

Webinar description: Join Heather Pelletier, founder of Nature’s Boardroom, for a virtual walk in the temperate rainforest as she shares discoveries about forest ecology that help you look at the world through a new lens. By learning how trees communicate and share resources, we begin to see the forest for the trees; allowing you to connect to your values and purpose as a guiding light towards meaningful change. I'll also show you how your mind can become calm and clear by connecting to nature through imagery and guided visualization.

Corporate wellness programs don't have to be just about fitness trackers and meditation apps, they should start with embracing people for who they are. At Nature's Boardroom, we get people outside to discuss what well-being really means and how to achieve it.

We are excited to announce that Tommi Hanley from Pure Power Coaching is partnering with Nature’s Boardroom to provide facilitation and coaching services across Ontario for its outdoor experiential events. Nature’s Boardroom helps organizations offer relevant upskilling and team bonding experiences that resonate with today's workforce. The venue?  A forest near you!

Company gatherings have shifted from boring rooms to boring zooms, so what’s next?

First, some context.

The great resignation, pandemic disruptions, and cultural uprisings have fundamentally changed how people feel about their work. Pay and equity are clearly fundamental but what about the 73 billion dollar industry around employee engagement? Pizza parties, ping pong tables, or even a leadership fishing trip are clearly no longer going to cut it.

Engagement is more important than ever for today’s workforce, but the path to fully engaged teams requires fostering connection, finding meaning, and providing the skills to succeed. This is where Nature’s Boardroom has changed the game. They are breathing life into team meetings through a simple walk in the woods.

A world-renowned ecologist known for her groundbreaking scientific work about how trees communicate. Suzanne’s work was a big inspiration in creating Nature’s Boardroom and her teachings are a large component of our activity Talking Trees: Learning & Growth. Includes links to her Ted talks, book, and upcoming film.
