Versatile Leadership – An Equine-Assisted Leadership Experience
Class Type: Arena Workshop
Duration: Full Day
Notes: No Previous experience with horses is necessary. All activities are conducted on the ground.
With the assistance and feedback from horses, Versatile Leadership allows you and your team to harness and manage the inherent masculine and feminine archetypal energies that exist in each of us. When these natural, but often unconscious, ways of being in relationship with others become toxic they often derail your efforts to create healthy and engaged work environments.
This workshop goes well beyond heady concepts to show us:
- what it means to become versatile and to embody our healthy masculine and feminine archetypes to create credible, balanced and trustworthy leadership
- growing an authentic and powerful presence
- building acceptance rather than resistance
- dynamically shift the energy to improve teamwork
- overcome biases and blind spots that hold you back
Followership: Who is Leading Whom?
Class Type: Classroom
Duration: 2 hours OR Equine-Assisted Learning Workshop / minimum half day – full day option
This workshop examines the leader-follower dynamic through a somatic lens, and the ways in which different types of influence are utilized, exerted, and communicated. Creating healthy and fluid leader-follower relationships becomes easier when you understand the subtle roles that body language and somatic intelligence play in our roles as leader and follower.
In this workshop you will learn:
- how to create healthy relationships, meaningful interactions, and achieve mutual goals, by looking at the physical space in which followers and leaders meet
- what it takes to “show up” as a leader in order for your followers to willingly and collaboratively follow you
- how to empower your followers by ‘leading from behind’
- the types of followers and the types of influence they exert on their leaders
