Collaborative Leadership: Building Relationships that Get Results (Equine Session)

In this session, you will gain important insights about what it takes to motivate, engage, influence, and earn the trust of those you lead – all with the help of uniquely qualified teaching assistants, horses.

Because of this, they provide unedited feedback about how you show up as a leader, and what it may take from you to earn trust and effectively influence change.

Terrain-Based Strategy Mapping

Leading successful organizational improvement initiatives requires strategic thinking, planning, and action.  During this session, Terrain-Based Strategy™ (TBS) mapping will be introduced as an effective planning system that enables individuals, teams, and organizations to explore extraordinary opportunities.

Let us assess your organization’s needs and recommend sessions to best support your goals.
