Outdoors Is Easy

Issue 117

"I get zero pushback from business leaders when I suggest being outside means accelerated, distraction-free thinking. And better decision making. That's a given." "But getting outside. That's hard, isn't it? Well - no. Not at all. Outdoors is easy. Here's how..."

“I suppose it’s my own fault.” explains Jane.

“I love walking, and I love the countryside. So, people mostly see me in photographs next to, say, Hadrian’s Wall. Rambling. Chatting with clients one-on-one. Or on my monthly business leaders networking events: Fresh Perspective Tread Walks.”

“No wonder some business leaders think all I’m advocating is walking boots, waterproofs and Kendal Mint Cake. But that’s just not true. The ‘outdoors’ that I am recommending can be very, very different. And easy to access.”

Outdoors is Easy

Jane Fisher, via her Fresh Perspectives NE brand, provides executive-level Strategic Leadership coaching and consultancy to business leaders across the North of England. Mostly outdoors, and mostly within just a few minutes of their own offices.

“Newcastle. Sunderland. Durham. Gateshead. Darlington. All these great cities in the North East have brilliant outdoor spaces, which I’m exploring. And identifying. By mapping and understanding what’s where – outdoors – helps me get business leaders and their teams outdoors. Easily.” says Jane.

“So, no matter where a business is, we can get to wonderful outdoor spaces and get to work, fast.”

Fresh Perspectives NE

Jane’s Fresh Perspectives brand is quickly becoming a North East of England movement, recognised for helping the best business leaders and their teams, to get outside more. This new outdoor environment really does help them – with Jane at their side – to think more clearly and make better strategic decisions.

Furthermore, opportunities that get lost in the clutter of a busy, samey and distracting office environment are seen more easily – and seized upon. The ‘Outdoor Habit’ is indeed transformative.

The Fresh Perspective 90-Day Challenge

Quarter 4 of 2025, sees Jane launch The Fresh Perspective 90-Day Challenge.

It’s a limited space, business community-driven initiative designed to fast-track a select few North East businesses towards developing the Outdoors Habit.

“Many of the world’s most progressive businesses – brands we know, are getting outdoors already. And I believe that within the next 5 to 10 years, all forward-looking businesses will spend at least 20 percent of their working week outdoors. Habitually.” highlights Jane.

“That’s why I’ve developed the Fresh Perspective 90-Day Challenge. So that business leaders here in the North East can explore, right now, how getting outside more, feels for them and their teams – with ease.”
