Hi, my name is Scott Berry and I am the founder and owner of Original Path and here is my own Original Path.

 

I found myself in the natural world early in my life and this is when I found a love for it and everything associated with it. As a small child around the age of 5, I was allowed to explore a small wooded area near my home. I discovered that plants have blood inside them, like us. I discovered that some sheltered others until the younger and weaker ones had built the strength they needed to shelter others. Perhaps I didn't realize it at the time but I had discovered the source of all knowledge and wisdom. It was the spark that turned out to be the beginning of a long and rewarding career in nature and the primary source of my inspiration.

​

I bring over 25 years of coaching/counseling, leadership, and guiding experience to the table.  I am a certified Coach (CC), Nature and Forest Therapy Guide (ANFT), Wilderness Guide (IGA), and certified in Advanced Wilderness First Aid.  As a young adult,  I helped co-found one of the early heli-hiking businesses in Canada (Alberta Alpine Adventures). I have been honored and fortunate to have had the opportunity to guide several hundred people on various adventures in locations all over Canada.

​

I have had a parallel career in the business world. For over 25 years, I have built and led several organizations (up to $2M budgets and over a hundred employees) and several governance roles of public and private organizations.  During this time, I coached and mentored hundreds of individuals and companies to achieve higher levels in their lives, careers, and goals.

​

This combination of broad experience in leadership, coaching, and guiding along with dozens of years of hands-on experience as an entrepreneur and business executive, provides my clients with a unique and complementary set of skills that deliver authentic and inspirational outcomes and experiences.
