The OPEN Method
Design What’s Next Before Winter
A seasonal coaching experience designed to spark reflection, reframe habits, and activate personal growth—before the holidays hit.
Built for individuals 18 and older, this 3-session coaching package leverages nature, neuroscience, and conversation to help you reconnect with what matters—and act on it—before the year ends.
How It Works
Session 1: Trail Session (75 min)
Engage the OPEN Method in real-time: Observe and Parce your current season while moving through nature.
Session 2: Virtual or Trail Session (60 min)
Debrief and Envision: process what's surfaced, test reframes, and explore paths forward.
Session 3: Virtual Session (60 min)
Navigate and lock in mindset shifts for small wins; design sustainable momentum into 2026.
This is not a nature walk.
This is a reset for high-functioning professionals who know they need more clarity—but don’t need another conference room to find it.
Led by executive coach Dave O’Connor, The OPEN Method is a private coaching experience designed for individuals navigating transition, burnout, or big decisions. It’s where life insight meets personal realignment—on your feet, in nature, with a clear framework guiding each step.
Expect a potent blend of thought partnership, reflection prompts, and real-time coaching moments tailored to help you make better decisions, see your blind spots, and walk away lighter, sharper, and more confident.
“Dave helps me trust my wisdom, come to clear solutions, and leverage both for planning my personal goals and my business’s future.”
- Craig Bergmann, Lake Forest-based landscape designer and owner of Craig Bergmann Landscape Design
Each session includes a mix of walking, sitting, standing and virtual dialogue designed to protect the intimacy, confidentiality, and potency of the coaching experience. The mobility impaired are welcome and encouraged to communicate necessary accommodations needed.
