In this episode of The Coaching Clubhouse, Adrian Last explores a different angle on coaching: breathwork.

His guest is Tareena Mody, founder of The Breath Circle and a transformational breathwork coach specialising in conscious connected breathwork.

After years in a high-pressure finance career, Tareena discovered how breathwork could unlock emotional release, reduce stress and reconnect her with herself. She now works with individuals and workplaces, helping people use the breath as a powerful tool for clarity, resilience and wellbeing.

Adrian and Tareena discuss why breathwork is more than “just breathing”, how it affects the nervous system, why it matters in the workplace, and how simple breath awareness can be a first step for anyone feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.

In this episode of The Coaching Clubhouse, Adrian Last is joined by executive and team coach Paul Jefferies to explore what happens when coaching moves beyond four walls and into the natural world.

Paul shares his personal journey from a high-pressure corporate career and burnout to building a coaching practice rooted in nature, leadership and human connection. Together, Adrian and Paul unpack the principles behind nature connected coaching, how coaching outdoors can unlock new thinking, why teams often open up differently outside, and how nature can act as a powerful co-coach in the conversation.

They also discuss Paul’s work with leaders and teams, the growing movement around Nature Connected Coaching Live, and practical ways coaches can start taking conversations outdoors.

This is a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about coaching, wellbeing, leadership, embodiment, and the possibilities that open up when we step outside.

Topics include:

• Paul’s personal story and experience of burnout
• The shift from corporate leadership to coaching outdoors
• What nature connected coaching actually is
• Why walking side by side changes the quality of conversations
• Team coaching outdoors and systemic thinking in nature
• Nature as metaphor, mirror and co-coach

• Why modern life may be holding us back
• The truth about the “2%ers”—and how to become one
• Why attitude is a conscious choice (and how to build it)
• How your energy impacts others through emotional contagion
• The role of coaching in unlocking potential and performance
• Why culture starts with you—not the organisation
• The surprising power of not taking yourself too seriously

This episode is packed with practical wisdom for coaches, leaders, and anyone looking to improve their mindset, performance, and wellbeing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re just going through the motions—this conversation will challenge and inspire you to think differently. Because thriving isn’t about waiting for life to improve… It’s about choosing how you show up.
