David Brodie

David is a co-founder of Connect Outdoors, and one of the driving forces behind the charity since its earliest days.

A former tax consultant, David has since retrained as a certified ADHD and AuDHD coach, certified through the Professional Association of ADHD Coaches (PAAC) and the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA); both highly respected bodies in the coaching field. He also runs A Wiser Mind, his independent coaching practice supporting adults with ADHD, AuDHD and neurodivergence.

David is passionate about the power of nature and the outdoors to support health and wellbeing for everyone. He has completed a Level 2 bushcraft course and his Certificate in Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing for Outdoor Leaders with The Therapeutic Forest CIC, and he is a trained instructor to co-deliver the Level 1 and 2 qualification in Nature Connection and Wellbeing.

He lives by what he advocates. Cold water, sauna, open skies and moving through wild places are as much a part of his life as his work and he firmly believes the outdoors is one of the most powerful and underused tools for human health we have.
