Winter training in the Scottish Highlands earlier this month.

Some days things turn against you even when you’ve spent hours slowly making your way close to the top; already on a knife edge, visibility will reduce to zero, and 70mph cross winds will hit suddenly.
Seemingly out of nowhere things can become incredibly scary.

So we stop, compose ourselves, and make a new plan…
Sometimes the goal changes and becomes one about safely making your way out of the situation. Turning around can sometimes be the right decision - the summit will still be there the next day.

A lesson from the mountains we can use in everyday life.

Welcome to Mindful Ascent.

My name is Chris Steward, and I’m currently serving as a senior non-commissioned officer in the British Army in a career that has spanned the past 16 years, following over a decade in the very different world of corporate IT.

Combining some surprisingly similar lessons learned over two very different careers, I understand well how different skills learned in the military around mindfulness and mental resilience can benefit individuals and businesses in dealing with the challenges they face, both professionally and personally.

A keen walker, mountaineer, and climber since the mid-nineties, my method is to use those breathe-taking outdoor spaces to deliver coaching that stays with you.

Having been fortunate to see adventure in many beautiful parts of the world, my heart belongs to Eryri, the Snowdonia National Park where we’re blessed some some of the most accessible, rugged and beautiful scenery available. I’m also available elsewhere by arrangement; for instance in The Brecon Beacons & The Lake District, and can even tailor things to be more accessible using lower level walking routes in areas like the South West Coastal Path.

Registered with Mountain Training in England, and a member of the British Mountaineering Council & Army Mountaineering Association.

Available for select weeks through 2026 & 2027 for corporate bookings, and weekends for individual and group coaching.
Content delivered can include mindfulness, mental resilience and leadership, as well as navigation and hill skills.
