Horsemen understand the powerful/invisible/intuitive “stuff” of working with horses. Many equine professionals instinctively know that leaders would benefit from being around horses and they’re ready to invite executives and middle managers out to their barn, but then what?
What do you do once they’re standing next to your horse? How do you design meaningful leadership development experiences that get the results clients are looking for?
This 3-day clinic is a Train the Trainer event that will provide you with a certificate of completion to deliver executive level Equine Assisted Learning sessions on the Intuitive Skills of Leadership©. Your certificate permits you to incorporate the 5 Intuitive Skills of Leadership© into your program offerings for clients and will increase your own leadership skills as you experience the program for yourself.
Sessions will be taught in a variety of methods including: direct lecture, conversation, and experiential components. About 2/3’s of the time will be spent in the arena with hands-on horses. Please dress for being comfortable in a barn and indoor arena – layers for weather variations and comfortable, closed toe shoes.
