About Natural Leadership

Natural Leadership was founded in 2021 based on the personal story of Emmett Phil Coriat, pharmacist and successful healthcare technology entrepreneur for more than 25 years.

After rebounding from a burnout thanks to Nature, he became a certified Forest Bathing guide.
Since then, he has dedicated his life to  the creation of a Nature connection practice that:

• serves as an antidote to the stress, anxiety and burnout epidemic that our society is facing
• combines all the scientifically demonstrated benefits of Nature
• integrates various Nature-rooted practices to a Forest Bathing foundation
• is accessible to all
• is perfectly adapted to the needs and the context of business leaders and their teams

Natural Leadership offers business leaders Nature-inspired programs that restore Wellbeing and enhance Performance for their teams.

The programs are based on the Japanese practice of Forest Bathing (sensory immersion in Nature), and draw on more than 900 publications of scientific findings to maximize the benefits of Nature to face the stress, anxiety and burnout epidemic of the 21st century.

In a February 14^th 2021 feature article, The Wall Street Journal calls it “the new 10,000 steps for the Pandemic” and recommended it for the mental damages inflicted by Covid.

Natural Leadership’s programs combine scientifically-proven benefits on two levels:

• Restoring Wellbeing (emotional, physiological, cognitive and social)
• Enhancing executive Performance (decision-making and problem solving capabilities, creativity, intuition and resilience).

We can deliver our programs in three ways:

1. Online (experiential conferences and workshops)
2. Remotely-guided Nature immersions
3. In-person guided Nature immersions

Natural Leadership also occasionally offers non-corporate events to support our fundamental human need to reconnect with Nature.
