The Equus Leadership Experience

What if you could learn more about yourself as a leader than any 360-degree feedback assessment or leadership assessment ever could?

Welcome to our premium leadership offering, The Equus Leadership Experience. In this transformative experience, you will learn about yourself and your leadership from horses.

What Can Horses Teach About Leadership?

Horses, who have no natural defenses, are very aware of their environment, acting like mirrors, providing leaders with valuable, unbiased and explicit feedback about their behaviour. As herd animals, horses have their own unique culture, which leaders can experience firsthand, making this experience among the best learning tools for honing your emotional intelligence and communication skills so you can tap into your best as a leader, all within a single day.

Program Outcomes:

  • Develop greater self-awareness, understanding your strengths and how to leverage them
  • Motivate and influence others
  • Successfully lead teams through change initiatives
  • Master verbal and non-verbal communication skills
  • Hone your negotiation skills
  • Transform conflict into highly productive collaboration
  • Step into your wisdom and power to maximize your leadership

You won’t be horseback riding in this one-of-a-kind opportunity as all the activities occur with your feet firmly planted on the ground. The entire experience happens with you and the horse in a round pen or arena and with our Equus coaches’ expert support and guidance. No prior experience with horses is required. The horses hand-picked for this program are gentle and calm and accustomed to working this way with people.

Our programs range from ½ day to a two-day, fully customized experience to meet your specific needs. Our offerings include individual and team development and coaching at an experienced equine facility with our Equus and leadership coaches. The facilitation team consists of Equus experts and highly experienced leadership facilitators and coaches.

The Four-Hour Equus Leadership Experience includes more than three hours of individual leader or team development and coaching at an experienced equine facility with our Equus and leadership facilitators and coaches.

The One-Day Equus Leadership Experience includes a full day of individual leader and team development and coaching at an experienced equine facility with our Equus and leadership facilitators and coaches. Refreshments, snacks and a delicious lunch are included in this experience.

The Two-Day Equus Leadership Experience includes everything from the one-day experience plus a day without horses, consisting of individual, small, and whole group experiential programming, coaching and a robust action planning session to harness your learning and investment fully.

Consider combining our Equus experiences with one of our other customized leadership or team development offerings, including a leadership or team assessment.

Join us as we journey outside the boardroom for this one-of-a-kind profoundly personal and feedback-rich leadership development opportunity.
