Leadership Development
The authentic leadership programme
A Leadership Development programme that develops self-awareness, empathy, authenticity and enhanced communication skills.
Who for?
This programme is for organisations who wish to develop the Emotional Intelligence and "soft skills" of their current and future leaders.
It is for organisations who value authenticity in the workplace and want their leaders to be able to influence, inspire and motivate others using a skill set based on empathy, curiosity and self-awareness.
The programme is suitable for individuals in the Talent Development pipeline, Team Leaders, Middle Managers and C-Suite Leadership Teams.
What happens?
When you step into a space with a horse and ask that horse to trust and respect you as it’s leader, the qualities they demand of you are the same as those crucial for effective leadership in organisations. These qualities are uniquely aligned with the 4 recognised elements of Emotional Intelligence;
Self -Awareness - Self Management - Social Awareness - Relationship Management
In the programme, participants take part in a series of exercises with the horses in a leadership position. As horses are masters at reading body language, energy and intentions, they will reflect back through their behaviour, the EQ qualities you have as a leader and critically, the places where you need more self-awareness and skill.
Once participants have landed on the insights they need, they can start to develop and practice new approaches and behaviours and witness, in the moment, how the horses react and respond.
"I was genuinely surprised by how clearly our horse management styles reflected our leadership styles in the workplace. This exercise provided a powerful and accessible mirror for self-reflection, helping us better understand our own behaviours and approaches. More importantly, it created a safe and constructive foundation for open dialogue—allowing us to challenge and support one another, regardless of position, without triggering defensiveness. In summary, it was a fantastic day—full of valuable insights, meaningful reflection, and a good dose of fun!"

"I am amazed by how much I learnt about myself from the horses. They were non-judgemental and yet they held up a firm mirror of what it's like to be led by me. The day was expertly led with deep reflective questions to invite further reflection. Thank you for putting on such a special and life-changing day."
