Lesley Roberts

Lesley Roberts is a business coach and adventurer. During her MSc in Executive Coaching at Ashridge Business school her research focused on how nature can support both coach and client.

Her passion for people development in the outdoors began at university, where she majored in Outdoor Education while studying to be a PE teacher. After teaching, Lesley worked with youth at risk groups in the Highlands of Scotland, using the environment as a catalyst for personal development. In 2000 she began a 16-year corporate career with Mars Inc spending 8 years in the commercial side of the business before moving into people development where she brought her insights from working outdoors to her coaching work with teams and executives.

In 2011/12 Lesley participated in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, spending a year at sea competing to win. It tested her limits and gave her the opportunity to learn about life, leadership and team-work in the most extreme of environments.

In 2016 Lesley set up Brave Conversations and has supported many individuals and teams internationally across a range of sectors to unlock their potential. In 2019 Lesley launched Coaching Outdoors, bringing the value of nature to coaches and clients. She is also an Ashridge Business School coach.
