Why meet up with a horse to improve your
leadership and communication skills?
There are hundreds of ways to learn about
leadership and communication. Many of them involve learning “tools and
techniques” to become a better leader or a better communicator. This might
be working, but it will be a long way until you find out what works best for
you.
Finding your personal style to become the
leader, which truly matches your personality and feels right for you, can
easily be supported by horses. Horses live in the present and communicate
nonverbally most of the time. They’ve got a strong sense of authenticity and
congruency and they will feed back to you what they perceive. Through
different interactive exercises with your equine training partner, you will
develop a sense of who you really are and which communication and leadership
style feels right for you. You will get more and more effective in what you
do, because you concentrate on your natural and instinctive behavior. To
help you transfer your experiences to your personal life, we will support
you in different ways, so that you only need to be present and enjoy
yourself while you interact with your four-legged training partner.
