Equus Coaching For Leadership
Leadership Extends Beyond Verbal Language
Research by Professor Albert Mehrabian at UCLA discovered that when we communicate, about 7% of the meaning is through verbal language. The rest is through nonverbal communication including gestures, facial expression, tone of voice and energy.
Interacting with horses provides a non-verbal relational team experience that deepens the awareness of how much we communicate beyond words. Facilitation by coaches supports the development of authentic, transparent conversations from a place of integrity and compassion. This unique experience in a beautiful natural setting, away from the distractions of everyday pressures, awakens the innate leadership within and cultivates team unity.
Add Horses to Accelerate Your Team’s Leadership Power
Diane Hunter, Master Equus Facilitator and Mind-Body Coach, offers a unique leadership training program for corporate and executive management teams. She partners with horses to create an experience for teams that integrates intelligence, emotion and intuition in their leadership roles.
What Makes a Great Leader?
A great leader in our ever changing world utilizes his or her intuitive power an understands how nonverbal communication influences all interactions and creates results without compromising trust in relationships and physical health.
Experiential Learning Provides Fast Results
Listening to a 1000 pounds of instant feedback from a horse offers a unique visceral experience you will remember and provides a point of reference when implementing your new awareness and strategies in work relationships. This learning process is particularly helpful for individuals and teams who want to lead with agility and creativity in challenging environments.
The experiential learning environment opens up awareness and understanding of true leadership. Because horses are extremely sensitive to all the nonverbal cues being expressed, when you interact with a horse, he will show you exactly how you lead and what you communicate beyond words.
Momentum Starts with Emotion
Horses pick up on your emotion, or state of being, and will detect if you’re leading from a state of fear or state of ease. If you attempt to lead from a place of fear, control or bribery they will move away from you and when you lead from a place of ease, clarity and heart, you become magnetic and they will join you.
The energy that makes a 1000 pound horse connect with you and willingly choose you as the leader is the same energy that causes people to invest in your brilliant ideas and follow your lead on a team. Combine this unique understanding of nonverbal communication with savvy business skills and you have a powerful leadership signature.
