Equine-Led Leadership & Coaching

How It Works

During each session, you’ll engage with our horses through a series of exercises designed to mirror real life challenges. Horses are keenly aware of human emotions and provide immediate feedback, making them powerful co-facilitators in the coaching process. Nanci Beyerl will help you reflect on these interactions, gaining valuable insights into how you lead, communicate, and handle stress. Each session is tailored to your unique goals, whether you’re seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or leadership development.

What’s Included:

– Initial consultation with Nanci to discuss your goals and intentions

–  1:1 Personalized equine-led 90 minute coaching sessions

– Real-time feedback from interactions with horses

– Reflection and debriefing after each session to explore insights and growth areas

For Your Visit What You Need to Know & Bring: 

– Attire: Please wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. Since you’ll be outdoors and around horses, it’s best to avoid loose, flowing garments or accessories.

– Safety First: No prior horse experience is necessary. All activities are ground-based, meaning you won’t be riding, but working alongside the horses.

– What to Bring: Water and a journal to take notes or reflect after each session.

– Avoid wearing any heavy perfumes, cologne or lotions

– Arrive 15 minutes early to settle in and prepare for your session.

How Equine-Led Leadership Programs Can Benefit Your Business

In today’s fast-paced business environment, the success of a company often depends on the quality of its leadership. Effective leaders need to be able to inspire and motivate their teams, communicate clearly, and make sound decisions under pressure. However, traditional leadership training programs often fall short in addressing the emotional intelligence and self-awareness required for effective leadership. This is where equine-led leadership and personal growth programs come in.

Equine-Led Leadership

Equine-led leadership programs use horses as teachers and guides to help individuals develop self-awareness, build trust, and strengthen leadership abilities. Horses are highly intuitive animals that can sense emotions and pick up on nonverbal cues. By working with horses, individuals learn to be more present, mindful, and focused, which can translate into their professional and personal lives. These programs provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions, build self-confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
