Why Horses as Coaches™?
Adaptability
Being alive, horses add a dynamic element to experiential learning that cannot be achieved to the same degree in any other environment whether it be a static program or an interactive computer based program. The horses respond to those around them. It is a basic survival skill for them. And, it highlights the unpredictable way real life challenges respond to our attempts.
The exercises can be adapted to focus on the specific issues your team finds challenging. And the exercises highlight unknown strengths and weaknesses within the team and the resilience of the team to respond to unforeseen obstacles and to challenge unproductive assumptions that constrain success.
Full Participation
Horses as Coaches is a ground based program in a ranch environment. Although participants are in contact with the horses, no riding is involved. People who would find risk based programs such as ziplines or ropes courses too threatening or physically demanding have no problem participating.
The whole team participates on a level playing field. No one no matter their level in the organization, seniority, or previous horse experience has an advantage. In fact, more often than not, talent that had not previously surfaced becomes evident as an untapped team resource.
Lasting Results Tailored to Your Team's Needs
All experiential learning benefits from deeper learning. But no other experiential learning has the appeal that the horses do. The lessons learned have a more lasting value because resistance to learning is broken down through their contact.
Because the lessons are adapted to the team, the rewards are immediate and more lasting. They are quickly taken directly to the bottom line as the team gels as a far more effective instrument of change.
