The launch of the "Stepping Into Your Genius" is in the books! What an amazing day learning from the horses how to overcome the Upper Limit Problem and move into your Zone of Genius! As always I am IMMENSELY grateful to Jessica Alt and the phenomenal horses at Diamond J Equestrian Center !!! 💜🐴

"I don't deserve this opportunity."

"If I'm successful in this opportunity, people will expect more from me and I might let them down."

"I don't want to make other people feel bad by me being successful."

If you've ever said any of these things to yourself or to others when you've had an opportunity to do something you know you are capable of, I want to ask how that impacted you? Are you glad you stepped away from the opportunity? Or do you have moments of regret?

I want you to not have that regret!

Feeling like you're capable of more than you're currently doing but something keeps getting in the way?

That's not a skills problem. That's a limiting belief problem.

Stepping Into Your Genius is a 3.5 hour program near Colorado Springs where you'll work alongside horses to see exactly what that pattern is and what it feels like to move past it.

Small group. Experiential. Grounded in real frameworks.

Noticing is a skill that many leaders still don't see as important. They often say "Ginny, I don't have time to stop and notice everything - I have KPIs and OKRs to meet."

Here's the thing - you don't have to do all the noticing. When you create an environment where everyone on your team feels safe to share what they are noticing, you can get perspectives that could very well save you time and money in reaching those strategic objectives on your to-do list.

Check out this episode of the "Leading With Instinct" podcast to hear Katie Navarra Bradley and I talk about how horses share noticing responsibilities.

As June Gunter says "There is no Chief Noticing Officer in the herd - it's everyone's responsibility." And it's the leaders' responsibility to acknowledge what others are noticing. Otherwise strategic silence can kill your strategic objectives.

We've all been in that meeting. 🤐

Heads nodding. No objections. Decisions made.
And yet… something feels off.

Strategic silence is one of the most costly dynamics in organizational life — and leaders are often the last ones to see it.

In our newest episode, Katie Navarro-Bradley and Ginny Telego unpack why people stop speaking up, what it costs when they do, and what horses can teach us about noticing the signals hiding in plain sight.

There's a particular kind of stuck that's hard to explain to people.

From the outside, everything looks fine. Good job. Decent income. People respect you. But inside, you know you're playing a smaller game than you're capable of — and you can't quite figure out why you keep pulling back right before you'd move forward.

I've worked with professionals for over 15 years, and I can tell you: that pattern is almost never about skills. It's about a belief that got installed a long time ago that says stepping into your full capacity is somehow too much — too risky, too disloyal, too visible.

Gay Hendricks calls it the Upper Limit Problem or "ULP." And the four hidden beliefs behind it are more common than most people realize.

On July 15, 2026 I'm offering a small-group experience at Diamond J Equestrian Center in Fountain, Colorado, designed for people who are ready to finally see that pattern clearly and feel what it's like to move past it.

"Stepping Into Your Genius" is a 3.5 hour equine-assisted learning experience created to be the catalyst for achieving your potential and finally saying "yes" to opportunities that will help you move the needle for the life you want.

No riding is involved and no horse experience is needed. Horses simply serve as honest, immediate feedback partners. And the insight they create in a few minutes would take months in a traditional coaching setting.

Limited to 8 participants.

Early bird pricing is $399 through July 9 (regular $449), which includes a 45-minute one-on-one coaching session with me.

Facilitating is an art. Sitting or standing at the front of a room isn't facilitating. This article by Women Facilitating is a great description of all that goes into facilitation of a powerful conversation - regardless of the facilitator's gender. Add horses to the mix and the complexity increases 10 fold! 😁🐴

I stopped setting "new year's resolutions" many years ago because I ended up disappointing myself, which was never good for my self-esteem.

With the advent of social media, and the increase in people who call themselves personal coaches, we are inundated with messages in the months leading up to the new year that if we want to be successful, we have to set clear goals.

I'm certainly not against setting goals - I do that for myself and my business all the time.

In early 2025, I set a goal to participate in my first dog agility trial in May of that year. My dog and I had been taking agility lessons for 2 years - but hadn't planned to compete. My new instructor in Colorado, encouraged me to compete to see what it's like.

Setting that goal pushed me to practice so I wouldn't feel like a complete idiot at the agility trial. That first competition wasn't pretty - but we did it. And that pushed me to sign up for the next one in July, and another in November, and another last weekend. I set small goals for each competition to just improve on at least one thing and each competition we achieved that. What I didn't do was set a goal of achieving an agility championship in 2025 - that wasn't going to happen.

Progress is often quieter and more meaningful than we expect.

In our recent episode of the Leading With Instinct podcast, Katie Bradley, ACC and I discuss the challenges of setting goals and how to do it in a way that allows for course correction when unexpected things try to block progress.

If you struggle to set goals because you don't want to disappoint yourself or others, I encourage you to listen to our conversation and learn from horses on how to still get to your destination when things in the environment shift.

Are you an Equine-Assisted Learning facilitator feeling like you want to take your business and facilitation to the next level in 2026? Get a head start on your business goals for 2026 so you are ready to go in January!

Many experienced EAL practitioners reach a point where technique alone isn’t enough. Clients are showing up with more complexity leading to deeper feedback from the horses—and you can feel there’s another level of mastery available.

This Friday, December 19, 2025 at 3:00 pm Eastern time, join me for a free webinar exploring the nuanced art of attunement in facilitating EAL work —the capacity to read subtle shifts in clients and horses—and how developing this skill elevates BOTH your client outcomes AND your business success.

We’ll be in conversation about:
✨ Gaining clarity on where you currently stand through targeted self-assessment
✨ Advanced facilitation techniques that deepen client transformation
✨ Practical business strategies that honor both your calling and your financial needs

If you know you’re ready for your next level, this is the place to begin.

An introduction to developing advanced EAL facilitation presence to provide transformational experiences for clients and grow a sustainable EAL business.
