EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE
LeadChange specialises in equine-facilitated workshops for leadership development, communication and team building – through innovative ‘Courses with Horses’. LeadChange has been developing the leadership and communication skills of company executives and others since 1992 through experiential workshops with horses - delivering results that are frequently described as 'l
ife-changing'. Our programmes unlock potential, transform communication skills and translate knowing to doing through interventions that are innovative, effective and ‘out of the box’. COURSES WITH HORSES - EQUINE FACILITATED LEARNING
LeadChange Courses with Horses combine interactions with horses (on the ground – not horse riding) and non-directive coaching in powerful learning experiences, through which participants explore and expand their emotional intelligence, leadership, communication and influencing capabilities. Interacting with horses at liberty (not on lead ropes) demands the same personal qualities that make for effective communication and leadership in work and life – awareness, clarity, focus, intention, energy, empathy and influence. They provide instant, honest, accurate feedback in the moment – creating experiences which get to the core of issues quickly, powerfully and effectively. If you want a horse to co-operate and follow, you must demonstrate real leadership. Up to 93% of meaning is communicated non-verbally. With their prey instincts and hypersensitive awareness, horses size people up instantly and accurately. The feedback we receive tells us time and again that the learning is highly transferable and the changes are sustainable. WORKING WITH LEADERS & TEAMS
There is a world of difference between knowing and doing. There is a gap between theory and practice; between awareness and action; between what we know and what we do. We move from knowing to doing when changes take place at a deep neurological level - through insights ('aha' moments) which create complex new neurological connections. Leadership calls for a dynamic combination of self-awareness, multiple intelligences and highly developed interpersonal skills. Knowledge informs; skills are developed through practice - requiring an experiential approach which allows participants to observe and learn from the impact of their behaviour. LeadChange holds up the mirror to leadership behaviours and facilitates rapid development of leadership skills. Interacting with horses, delegates come face to face with their personal leadership challenges and are coached to overcome them. The changes they make are reflected back instantly in a dramatic and memorable way by the response of the horses. We are geographically flexible so can run at locations convenient for our clients. We have a network of horses and venues across the country all of which are carefully selected to adhere to our high standards from both a client experience and horse care perspective. The sessions are a mix of classroom and working with the horses in an indoor riding arena so we are not affected by weather conditions.
