Mentoring: 9 month package
Do you have an outdoor goal you’d like to accomplish but don’t know how to achieve it?
The Mastering Mountains mentoring team is all about enabling people to achieve their adventure dreams, especially those with chronic health conditions. We believe outdoor adventure uniquely and powerfully develops hope by enabling positive, life-long change, connection to community and improved wellbeing.
Our goal is to find what motivates you, and to help you break down your goal into manageable steps and milestones. We take a strengths-based approach, equipping you identify and navigate the obstacles or barriers that prevent you from achieving your goal. We want nothing more than to see you achieve your ambitions, both in the short term and for many years to come.
All our profits are used to support our grant recipients. Using this service will make a difference in someone else’s life.
Details
This 9-session package is ideal if you’re working towards a big goal and need input for a longer period of time. We offer this service to our grant recipients, and is designed to be completed over 9 to 12 months.
This package gives you:
7x Zoom calls with your mentor and regular email support. These sessions will take you through a process that helps you clarify your motivation, values and strengths, and will then build on those as you take concrete steps toward achieving your goal outdoors. This is an opportunity for our mentors to walk alongside and support you, and to connect you to additional rehabilitation services (eg. neuro-physio, specialist trainers, etc), if needed.
2x Work on Wellbeing debriefs with Nick Allen, using the research-backed Work on Wellbeing tool. Before each debrief, you will complete an evidence-based wellbeing assessment and receive a comprehensive report. Each debrief is one hour long and are spaced six months apart.
One final Work on Wellbeing debrief, to be completed once you’ve achieved your goal.
Complementary copy of Nick Allen’s book, To The Summit.
This also includes a 9-month membership that gives you:
Bi-monthly group Zoom call with other adventurers in the Mastering Mountains community.
Bi-monthly educational group Zoom calls, where we get an expert to present on relevant topics.
Access to a growing resource library (COMING SOON!).
Custom gear advice from Nick Allen, with a membership that gives you 25% off RRP for brands such as Black Diamond equipment, SCARPA footwear, Osprey packs, Sea to Summit sleeping bags and more, giving you access to lightweight gear. (NOTE: this available for New Zealand only and subject to product availability).
Upon completing your purchase, we will get in contact to organise the mentoring sessions and debrief.
Financial support: As a charity, we are committed to helping people master their mountains, and we’ve tried to keep our costs as low as possible. However, we realise that some may need some financial support to cover costs. If that’s you, please get in touch! We’d love to explore ways to reduce this barrier for you.
