At the core of who I am—and everything I do—is a commitment to helping others be their best selves. My journey began as a corporate manager, then grew into group facilitation, coaching, and mentoring for those navigating life’s daily challenges. Today, I’ve added the wisdom, intuition, and energy of horses to deepen this work.

’sPlace is a sanctuary—a place where healing and growth meet the quiet strength of horses. It began with my program for leaders and managers, expanded to include the program for soldiers, and now welcomes . Here, moms, dads, children, soldiers, and families alike can experience the transformative and restorative power of horses in an intimate, peaceful setting.

If you’re yearning to breathe more deeply, rediscover a sense of freedom, or simply feel more alive, let’s connect. Together, we can explore which program might best serve you or those you care about.

I have two great passions:

Developing leaders in the corporate world and working with horses. In the corporate space, my focus is on helping leaders tap into their strengths, enhancing their success as managers, decision-makers, and human beings. With horses, it’s about drawing out their natural instincts—intuition, transparency, and honesty—to guide us in a deeper understanding of ourselves and others.

You can probably see the connection here. Horses have so much to teach us about leadership and communication... While it's not the ENTIRE picture, it is a very powerful foundation for what comes next in your professional journey.

Curious? I offer a range of in-person and online programs for individuals and teams, designed to elevate your professional presence through the innate wisdom of horses.

There's only one best way to develop yourself professionally, and that's through greater .

My assessment tool of choice tried and tested over the past 30 years is far and away . My clients have found it to be a game-changer because it offers deep, actionable insights that directly impact their performance. Here's why:

1. Tailored Development: Lumina Spark provides a nuanced view of individual behaviors by examining three personas—Underlying, Everyday, and Overextended. This means you not only see, not only your natural strengths but also how they may shift under pressure, offering a roadmap for targeted growth.

2. Self-Awareness and EI. By understanding how personal traits influence behavior, you can improve your EI, leading to better decision-making, enhanced communication, and stronger relationships across teams.

3. Improved Team Dynamics: Lumina Spark helps teams understand each other's strengths, weaknesses, and communication styles, driving collaboration and reducing conflict. It equips people with the insights to build high-performing, empathetic, and adaptable teams, which are essential for our dynamic work environments.

4.Real-World Application: Unlike many tools, Lumina Spark provides direct, applicable insights for everyday work scenarios. It doesn’t just label; it helps people understand how to adjust behaviors in different situations—especially when they’re under stress or overextended--and how to do it by leveraging their strengths, not simply starting or stopping a specific behavior.

If you're looking to more deeply understand "what makes you tick" and/or you are looking for a meaningful and deeply developmental team engagement, reach out. Each respondent receives a 90 minute coaching call following receipt of their "portrait". 🖼️

Take a break. The pace is relentless, conflicts are escalating, workloads are heavier, and there's barely time to breathe.

The best way to reconnect with yourself is through self-awareness. New insights we gain about ourselves become integral to who we are, as they should be.

That’s why I encourage those I work with to step outside, breathe fresh air, shift their perspective, and take a moment for self-reflection: Who are you? How are you showing up? What do you want? Then, explore how to introduce changes incrementally.

If you're seeking guidance on this journey, I'm here to help you "strengthen your leadership from the inside out." www.kagan-consulting.com

Whats your team type?

Are you a group of data gatherers? Or maybe you simply love the brainstorming process?

Do you make decisions based on feelings or does logic and reason drive your actions?

The truth is we need all types to leverage the benefits of each. Once you understand the composition of your team you know to whom you need to listen to at various stages of problem-solving.

The best leadership coach I know is celebrating his 12th birthday today.

Meet Casiano, a gentle giant weighing in at 600 kilos. This remarkable horse has a unique talent for bringing out the best in people and never fails in his role.

As the "star" of HorseSense International, an outdoor experiential learning and development program for leadership teams, Casiano excels at providing the most honest and direct feedback you'll ever receive. He is also one of the finest therapists in our Transcending Trauma program, helping sufferers of PTSD.

Join me in wishing Casiano another year filled with meaningful connections and countless opportunities to touch the lives of those seeking personal and professional growth through increased self-awareness and empathy.

Happy Birthday, Casiano! 🐴🎉

No one shows you how you show up to others better than a horse. 10 minutes is all it takes. Read on...

A high-tech team joined me for one of my HorseSense session. In one of the exercises, the leader found herself in an enclosure with the horse. Her goal was to guide the horse to move around her in a circle, maintaining whatever distance felt comfortable. However, the horse had other ideas and stood in a corner, facing away from her. Despite her efforts, the horse remained unmoved.

As she applied more pressure, her frustration became evident, but the horse still wouldn't budge. After a few minutes, all her energy drained away. She hung her head and walked over to her team, who were seated outside the enclosure. She then spoke to them, her voice filled with realization, "I now see clearly what I do to all of you. When things don’t go my way, I get worked up and take it out on all of you. I see you all 'checking out' just like this horse did, and I am so sorry..."

She fought back tears while her team members immediately surrounded her, offering words of support and appreciation. They thanked her for her candor and expressed how much they valued her admission. This collective experience marked the beginning of a very transparent and open relationship for this leader.

From that day, the team noticed a significant shift in their interactions. The leader's newfound self-awareness and vulnerability created a culture of honesty and trust. She became more attuned to her team's needs and emotions, leading with empathy and understanding. This HorseSense session had not only bridged the gap between her intentions and actions but also set the stage for a stronger, more cohesive team dynamic—all in just a few short minutes with the horses.

This is not an uncommon experience. By engaging in horse-assisted activities, teams learn to collaborate more effectively, resolve conflicts, and develop a deeper understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses. This experiential learning approach not only strengthens individual leadership skills but also transforms team cohesion and performance.

The Power of Self-Awareness in Leadership 💪

More than ever in past years, self-awareness has become a critical attribute for effective leadership. It’s not just about understanding your strengths and weaknesses, there are countless ways to learn about them--- but also about recognizing how your actions and decisions impact your team and even more—WHY you choose those actions and make those decisions. 💬

When we are self-aware, we are far better equipped to manage our emotions, to communicate so that we understand and are understood more clearly , and to build and sustain stronger relationships. This naturally leads to a more cohesive and motivated team which in turn drives stronger performance and yields better outcomes. Here are a few tips to try:

1. Force yourself to focus on the speaker during conversations. Immediately afterward, reflect on your reactions, thoughts, and feelings. See if you can identify any triggers and biases. Awareness is the critical foundation.

2. Conduct periodic emotional check-Ins throughout the day. Make time for a few brief moments of introspection where you assess your emotional state and its impact on your actions. Documenting these observations can reveal important patterns over time.

3. Incorporate some “mindful micro-moments into your routine. For example, before entering a meeing, take a few deep breaths, or force yourself to sit and breathe deeply for a minute or two before making a significant decision. These micro-moments can help center your thoughts and enhance self-awareness.

4. Try role reversal during problem solving sessions. This can provide you with some new insights into areas where you may need to either adapt or improve.

⏲ By incorporating some of these practices into your routine, you can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, ultimately leading to the ability to bring more of who you are naturally to your role.

At Kagan Consulting, we believe that self-awareness is the foundation of instinctive leadership. By reflecting on your behaviors and understanding their impact, you can lead with genuine strength, conviction and empathy.
