LeadChange ‘Courses with Horses’ combine interactions with horses (on the ground – not horse riding) and non-directive coaching in powerful learning experiences, through which participants explore and expand their emotional intelligence, leadership, communication and influencing capabilities.
Interacting with horses at liberty (not on lead ropes) demands the same personal qualities that make for effective leadership in work and life – awareness, clarity, focus, intention, energy, empathy and influence.
There is a world of difference between knowing and doing. There is a gap between theory and practice; between awareness and action; between what we know and what we do. We move from knowing to doing when changes take place at a deep neurological level - through insights ('aha' moments) which create complex new neurological connections.
Leadership calls for a dynamic combination of self-awareness, multiple intelligences and highly developed interpersonal skills. Knowledge informs; skills are developed through practice - requiring an experiential approach which allows participants to observe and learn from the impact of their behaviour.
LeadChange holds up the mirror to leadership behaviours and facilitates rapid development of leadership skills. Interacting with horses, delegates come face to face with their personal leadership challenges and are coached to overcome them. The changes they make are reflected back instantly in a dramatic and memorable way by the response of the horses.
