Executive Leadership & Coaching
Courage. Compassion. Congruence.
What distinguishes a great leader from a good leader? How is it that some leaders inspire and empower their people to be the best possible? Taking corporate leadership to that next level means not only making the individual leader aware of their unconscious behaviours/biases and the impact these have on the people around them, but how to use this self-awareness to nurture what is working and change what is not.
Our Leadership in Action programs and individual coaching sessions combine robust leadership theory, models and tools with unique equine experiences for truly transformational learning. The result is an incredible opportunity to see the theory in practice, to deepen awareness of self, others and the environment, and to witness the impacts of changing one’s leadership style, communication and approach to others. We deliver local, national, and global services for a range of different client groups.clie
Our approach is directly modelled on how horses lead their herds in their natural environment, operating under a highly effective system of shared leadership, adopting roles that create collective responsibility and accountability for the safety and success of the entire group. Read more about our unique approach here.
If we are willing to take onboard their leadership lessons, horses are a leveller that no human can match. Quite simply, they make the invisible, visible.
Through our innovative approach:
Experience closes the gap between new insight and action.
Debrief and application conversations facilitate transfer and impact of learning to the workplace.
Abstract concepts of authenticity, engagement, presence, trust, and shared leadership move into concrete practice.
Leaders will be supported to:
Build self-awareness, authenticity and presence
Develop collective and collaborative leadership skills
Develop a strategic, innovative, action focused approach
Build confidence in their leadership capabilities
Navigate volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity
Balance, Boundaries and Boldness: Executive Coaching for Women in Leadership
Lead with Confidence, Guided by Horses
Women in leadership face unique challenges—imposter syndrome, workplace bias, and the constant juggle of work–life balance. Executive coaching already boosts confidence (80%), accelerates career growth (82% promotions), and improves work–life balance (67%).
Now imagine combining that with the wisdom of horses.
Executive coaching with horses isn’t about horsemanship, in fact, it has little to do with the horses at all, rather what they can teach us about ourselves. Through specifically designed interactions with horses, you can discover your authentic leadership, unlocking your potential, and breaking through barriers.
Are you ready to lead with presence, courage, and clarity?
