ABOUT TGR
TGR (The Green Room) provides outdoor wellbeing coaching, leadership, and organisational development to maintain and improve mental fitness and human performance for those who serve the public.
We believe by preventing burnout, we will strengthen public serving organisations and society as a whole.
We place a strong priority on public policy progress in recognising the needs and role of public servant families.
Through bespoke, group and individual interventions, TGR facilitates the unlocking and releasing of inner saboteurs to maximise human resilience and recovery in a safe environment.
By stepping outdoors, we believe the stress experienced in serving roles and everyday modern life can be offset.

Our mission - to maximise the mental fitness and human performance of those who serve to prevent burnout

Our Faculty

WHAT WE OFFER
TGR offers life-changing interventions to individuals and groups. We focus on behaviours, harness movement, drive wellbeing habits, and educate on health and nutrition. Where many providers offer an activity-led experience, this is where we differ. TGR harnesses the power of activities as tools to embed sustained behaviour change. The coaching narrative during the activities is an essential component.
Why we are different
TGR is a specialist and credible partner that is trusted, evidence-based and proven. All coaches have successful previous careers and a prominent level of coaching experience and accreditation. Our goal is to build capabilities that have sustained impacts that resonate with the individual. By empowering delegates to test, learn and apply the behaviour changes in their own lives, we directly improve mental fitness for the long term.
Our co-design approach
We co-design the programme with you, harnessing years of insight from leading and working with diverse groups in military, medical, blue light, corporate, education and third sectors. Our dynamic and innovative style is grounded in proven coaching models, tools, and techniques such as solutions-focused, Time to Think (Nancy Kline), Heron, GROW, Gestalt, Co-Active. We harness up-to-date outdoor coaching research to embed the power of nature into our design.
Meeting bespoke needs
We do not offer a one-size-fits all approach. Tailored narrative and tools are critical for sustainable impact and to empower individuals to build trust and ownership. We meet individuals where they are and take them further along their own journey. We harness multidisciplinary expertise and listen to the needs of the organisation and the individual.
Course Outcomes
Mental fitness is the objective, not the success of the activity. Therefore, time and flexibility are built in for fun, connection, fireside chats and for individuals to adapt, respond and talk. We believe in investing in the mental fitness of individuals, not just providing an experience to recuperate.
Self-awareness
Identify and recognise how inner challenges overtake individual thoughts, feelings, and influence behaviour, communicate with others and move beyond impact to management.
Self-management
Learn, practice, and select evidence-based wellbeing coaching tools that resonate. Group work, self-reflection and 1:1 coaching to enable progression to a more fulfilled life.
Nature connectivity
Practice nature connectedness using outside as a core component of their mental fitness and that of their families and friends.
Strength in personal relationships
Acquire the confidence and capacity to communicate with clarity and honesty to those in their support network, articulating their own needs.
Personal growth
Commit to small changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to optimise performance and bypass self-limiting beliefs
