HorseTalk: Lessons in Leadership
| A horse is a metaphor for business challenges. |
You’ve heard me talk about it, now come and do it with me.
What is HorseTalk? (here is an abbreviated version, email for more info)
- An energizing leadership experience with lasting results!
- A unique way to confront what’s impacting you: What is preventing you or your team from reaching its highest performance?
- A day like no day you have experienced before
You Can't Lead a Horse If You're Not Clear Where You're Going
You can’t lead a team if you don’t know where you are going either.
Here’s a secret:
A horse does not care what degrees you have, your title, or the bonus you receive at the end of the year. A horse is not impressed with your position, and will not cooperate with you because of the alphabet soup of letters after your name.
What does that mean for you?
Horse guided learning is a unique way for you to uncover and rediscover how to communicate your value
in your company and in your marketplace.
Are you ready to learn something new in a new way?
By combining practical business experience with the knowledge gained from years of horse experience
in this one-day of educational escapism I and a trained staff will help you see yourself through
someone else’s eyes. This someone else just happens to be a horse.
As a Communication Coach, my job is to help you use communication to advance your agenda. In order to do that, you have to use communication to create buy in.
HorseTalk is a unique approach to the coaching process. It incorporates one of life's natural leaders, the horse, along with a human coach to create a safe setting for exploration. The horses provide immediate feedback and insights, allowing you to learn quicker and move faster in your development process.
