a. Summary of Activities During the Year In 2025, Climate Biodiversity Coaching delivered 50 one to one coaching sessions many of which were walking and talking in a natural setting on the phone with the client in their setting. This enabled a much deeper connection with the natural world and the coaching topics included climate and biodiversity and how to create the conditions for a positive impact on the natural world and future generations. The clients were 11 different nationalities allowing for a diverse range of perspectives and views. We continue to work with Common Purpose and have coached individuals part of not-for-profit organisations who would otherwise not be able to have the funds for coaching through LeaderLy related to the pro bono work funded by Foundation Hoffmann, via MAVA Foundation. We continued to deliver coaching services contract with Procter & Gamble (P&G). This involved coaching the global head of sustainability first on a video call and then in nature. We have continued to follow up on the relationship and impact. The diagram below was the starting point for a discussion around coaching needs and leadership. Some discussion was held around how to align our mind (head) with our feelings (heart), our instincts (gut) and the way in which we operate as part of living systems (Earth). We introduced the concept of nature’s principles and metaphor such as feeding your roots (thanks to Sarah Spencer, Think Like a Tree). This approach had an element of coach training in the ripple effects being how the client then could coach her team. One of the biggest impacts was the ability to communicate to the team and other heads of departments across the multi-national company. The use of the landscape and developing a photo story was very powerful in enabling a discussion which was de-personalised in terms of relationships across the company. Courses and community. We continued to strengthen the Habitable Futures community who have agreed to continue as a "global community of systemic coaches who engage with climate and nature-related issues in their work". We meet every month and can see the impact from around 45 past course participants who have continue to build and strengthen since they participated in the Climate Biodiversity Coaching Courses over the last few year. The ripple effects were difficult to predict at the time. One participant recounts “Taking the Climate Biodiversity course transformed my sense of agency, giving me the confidence, tools, and identity to step into climate coaching and respond meaningfully to burnout in sustainability professionals. Within a week of updating my profile (after taking the course), a colleague saw it and referred me to a climate coaching opportunity she couldn’t take on. That led to working with a global sustainability organisation on burnout. The work expanded from one session to an ongoing multi-month engagement with group coaching, leadership sessions, and systemic exploration of burnout causes”. Role in Climate Coaching Alliance - Lydia continues to be a coordinator of the Political Pod of the Climate Coaching Alliance. This involved convening a number of global meetings on coaching approaches to support the political arena and climate related issues. A seed was planted in 2025 to host a podcast on climate politics and the role of coaching. The fruition of the work will not be until 2026. Publications - Lydia started writing chapters of books and magazine articles during 2025 on the role of coaching in relation to climate and biodiversity. The most notable was "Beyond Team Coaching" edited by David Clutterbuck and Jenny Plaister-Ten. Publication due in 2026. In July 2025 the Association of Coaching published "Aligning Systems within Systems" article led by Lorenza Clifford with Lydia as a co-author. Abstract - "Neuroscience increasingly validates coaching techniques, enhancing professional coaches" ability to explain methods that were devised intuitively and then tested. Climate and biodiversity coaching similarly benefits from this understanding. Lorenza Clifford and Lydia Stevens share notes about the parts of their work, informed by neuroscience within the wider fields of ecopsychology and coaching psychology’. Lydia and Grattan Donnelly published "Going Upstream - How coaches can make the shift from reacting to shaping a sustainable future". In Choices Magazine for Professional Coaches - volume dedicated to climate conscious coaching. As a result of this Lydia and Grattan were interviewed for the Choice Magazine’s podcast. b. How the Activities Have Benefited the Community Our work and our donations are specifically to benefit the communities we serve. These communities include the natural world and people working to reduce our carbon footprints. We see positive impacts as our ‘handprints’ and the reduction in negative impacts as our ‘footprints’. We are also serving boards and senior leadership teams of companies who are changing their own strategies in line with habitable futures. Our contributions to organisations such as Conservation without Borders links directly to our mission and purpose and follows on from the coaching we have provided to the CEO Sacha Dench. She wrote that “the funding and coaching support are enabling me to return to the world of expeditions, using my new found limitations as strengths. The UNSTOPPABLE - Sea to Summit expedition will focus attention on major climate and biodiversity threats through migratory birds, with a focus on providing ways that anyone can step up to help”. We anticipate that the expedition from Ireland to Denmark in a canoe will be advocating to continue to ban and generate awareness about the damage caused by the use of lead in shotgun ammunition, which is a major killer of waterbirds, raptors and other animals and polluters of wetlands. After groundbreaking rulings on banning lead in the UK, and King and Crown Estate ready to show leadership through their sites, we will be engaging mass public interest in the issue. We have also contributed to Anyim Wa Community Initiative in northern Uganda. They wrote that: “The Climate Coaching Initiatives: With your support, we have educated local farmers on sustainable practices, fostering environmental stewardship and resilience against climate change in the 3 villages of Koro, Palenga and Bobi”. Our final work is as part of the Climate Coaching Alliance. In 2005, we contributed both in financial terms and through our time and technical knowledge. We are active members of a global community of over 5000+ coaches who are part of a global community. As a result we all feel that we can have a greater voice and impact than any of us could have individually. In different ways we use coaching approaches to support a thriving planet. This sense of belonging gives us strength and supports lesson learning and knowledge sharing. Through our support we joined forces with any others to contribute to writing (Jackie Arnold) and sharing and using the recent seminal document: “Shaping Tomorrow: A Playbook for Coaching Leaders in Sustainable Decision-Making and Policy” Which continues to be downloaded for free and used around the world to guide coaches in their work to empower political leaders to take bold climate action.
We have a feedback mechanism in place for our work in coaching. We ask all those who received coaching to provide feedback. The community has been continually consulted. Their feedback and learning helps to continually improve the ways of working and the content. We are also ensuring that we are listening and learning from the context of Climate and Biodiversity and associated areas of diversity, inclusion, resource scarcity etc. The context and the political environment have been very volatile globally in 2025. Another key area of consultation is through the Climate Coaching Alliance which comprises 5000 coaches around the world. They are operating in different contexts, cultures and languages. Lydia is a coordinator of the CCA political pod and is in continual consultation with the members of this community to ensure that the work we do remains relevant.
