“Lost in Nature, Found in Clarity: Why Every Founder Should Take Time Without Their Phone”
When was the last time you took the time to reflect without a phone or a watch? No notifications. No deadlines. Just you, the breeze, and the sound of the world continuing without your input.
For founders and leaders, the constant hustle can feel non-negotiable. There’s always another call, another pitch, another problem to solve. But here’s the truth: the greatest ideas often emerge in stillness, not in the noise.
Here’s why unplugging in nature is so transformative:
🌿 Reconnect With Your Vision
Without the distractions of screens and schedules, you can focus on the bigger picture. What are you building? Why does it matter? Who are you becoming in the process? Nature provides the space to ask these essential questions.
🌿 Unlock Creative Problem-Solving
The brain thrives on novelty, and nothing sparks fresh ideas like the textures, sounds, and colors of the natural world. Solutions that seemed impossible suddenly feel clear.
🌿 Recharge Your Leadership Energy
As leaders, we pour our energy into others constantly. Time in nature helps you refill your cup, grounding you in calm and perspective so you can lead with clarity and strength.
🌿 Break Free From the Time Trap
When you leave your watch behind, you step outside the ticking clock of productivity. In that timeless space, you realize it’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what truly matters.
The irony? Stepping away from your work doesn’t slow you down. It helps you come back stronger, sharper, and more aligned with what you’re here to create.
So here’s my challenge: Schedule time for a “nature reset.” Leave your phone and watch behind. Wander. Reflect. Just be.
With Fenix Leadership we organise leadership trail in nature to support leaders to reflect on work & life. Next trails in 2025;
- May, Morocco (atlas mountains)
- October, Italy (italian Alps)
You might just find that the answers you’ve been chasing have been waiting for you all along.
