Corporate structures are changing and leadership has changed as well – the working world is becoming more and more dynamic and demanding. The patriarchal style of leadership has long been outdated and buzzwords such as servant leadership, empathy and soft skills are floating around. It takes innovative and time-efficient methods such as equine-assisted coaching to make these theoretical concepts more tangible and to put them into practice.

In our equine-assisted leadership workshops the participants experience and learn:

• to lead themselves
• to find their personal leadership style
•  to develop their soft skills
• to better read and understand their employees from a psychological point of view
• to better understand team dynamics when visualized through the herd dynamics of horses
• authentic leadership through bonding with the horse in the employee role

The workshop agenda is dynamically composed of joint exercises with the horses, individual sessions, breaks for reflection along with a theoretical part about psychology and a conclusion with impulses for each participant and his or her individual work situation. A follow-up discussion will take place approximately four weeks after the workshop. We are also happy to accompany your managers selectively in-house after the workshop.

The advantages of leadership coaching with horses: With this form of coaching, the participants receive a very vivid representation by the horses. Participants therefore still talk about situations with the horse that were particularly memorable for them many years later.

Moreover, in contrast to coaching in meeting rooms, equine-assisted coaching appeals to all the senses. This is called senso-emotional learning and provides a more sustainable learning experience. Another advantage is the three-dimensional feedback consisting of the different perspectives of the group, the coach and the horse – with the feedback from the horse being one hundred percent neutral.

The main focus in our leadership workshop is on self-leadership, authentic leadership through genuine connection, mediation and appreciative employee communication. It also focuses on finding and developing the leadership style with which one personally feels best.

Do you, as a company, wish to have charismatic leaders who know how to create an optimal working environment in which your employees can develop to their full potential? If so, we would be happy to get to know you and your employees and to develop your employees!
