Unlocking Leadership and Life Skills with Horse-Led Workshops

Discover a distinctively personal and professional growth approach through our Horse-Led Skills Development programs at It’s All Connected. Our experiential learning experiences with horses, acting as “barometers,” guide and transform individuals and teams into well-oiled machines.

Program Offerings:

🐴 Horse-Led Skills Development: Embark on a journey of self-discovery and skills enhancement through our programs. Horses, serving as intuitive teachers, react to participants’ stimuli, offering invaluable insights into communication, leadership, teamwork, and more. Facilitators provide a window of opportunity to guide and assist your learning journey of building foundational life skills and more.

🐴 8-12 Weeks Curriculum Program: Delve into our structured curriculum programs. Each week builds on the last, covering essential topics like Building Relationships, Communication, Trust, Leadership, and more. Certified specialists facilitate our programs in the presence of our equine partners.

🐴 Why Choose Horse-Led Learning:

Experiential Learning: Engage in hands-on activities with horses for profound communication, trust-building, and collaboration lessons. (All groundwork, no riding).

Holistic Growth: The programs address personal and professional aspects, fostering comprehensive development.

Curriculum Expertise: Benefit from a unique, comprehensive building block curriculum for structured and effective learning.

This modular half-day or full-day workshop is also designed to be completed in a 90-minute or 3-hour version. We add one or two Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) exercises, ideal for the half-day or full-day workshop for corporate clients.

Additional elements can be added to enrich teams’ experiences and customise the workshop to align with their intended learning outcomes, including leadership courses and workshops tailored to specific leadership styles and qualities.

This workshop is ideal for:

• Local Business Owners 
• Corporate Management Teams
• Managers,  Business Owners, and Their Teams
• Non-profit Organisations and Community Groups
  

In this workshop, a custom-designed card deck randomly generates potential future states that allow participants to tackle real-world challenges specific to their business. It is a great opportunity to brainstorm ideas to maintain a competitive edge in difficult economic times while also enhancing leadership skills and fostering teamwork.

Participants are encouraged to apply the exercise to their division, department, or business and look for challenges in their business that they may not have yet considered. As a result, the workshop has a practical and immediate application, helping to develop essential leadership qualities and team-building skills.

The workshop also develops an essential core competency for today’s leaders: innovation and creativity in the face of the unknown. A key learning outcome is an experiential understanding that we are NOT moving along a path toward a single predictable future. This common but mistaken paradigm creates the illusion that we can control what kind of future we are moving towards and when we will get there. This is a dangerous frame of mind for businesses and leaves them unprepared to deal with today’s economy.

A much more valuable model considers that the future is a train coming inexorably towards us. We can neither control the shape of the train, the speed at which it is coming or when it will arrive. The only thing we can do is prepare for its eventual arrival and what cargo it may contain.

As new cards are dealt throughout the workshop, participants must quickly adapt to volatile circumstances and find innovative solutions. Their comfort level with these changing parameters increases, they develop more confidence in themselves and even begin to embrace the excitement of the unknown eagerly.

Authentic You Women’s Workshop: Discover Your True Self with Horses

At “Find Your Authentic You with Horses,” we empower women to embrace change, step into their next chapter, and discover their authentic selves. Taking time for yourself is not just important; it’s essential. Our workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with horses, who can sense your true energy and guide you on a transformative journey.

Why Horses?

Horses, with their innate ability to read energy, require authenticity from those who work with them. As prey animals, their primary need is to feel safe. They respond to genuine, vulnerable interactions, setting you on a path to self-discovery. Although it sounds simple, being truly authentic is one of the most challenging tasks in our society, where fear and shame often lead to disingenuous behaviour.

Why Horses Lead the Way: As living beings, horses embody honesty that cuts through life’s chaos. They guide us to our true selves, helping us live harmoniously with our desires and aspirations. Investing in this workshop is an investment in embracing your unique identity. Learn more about our next workshop here.

The Power of Equine-Assisted Programs

Our programmes are designed to foster trust and self-confidence, leading to emotional and behavioural improvements. Each session with a horse helps you ground yourself, much like how horses constantly connect with their environment. This grounding process keeps you present and focused, aiding in your emotional health journey.

A Continuous Journey

Just like physical fitness requires regular effort, maintaining emotional health is an ongoing process. There’s no magic fix; it’s a continuous journey. You must take responsibility for your happiness, no matter where you are in life. Working with horses regularly helps maintain the positive changes you experience, much like exercising keeps your body in shape.

Honesty and Vulnerability

The first step towards understanding yourself is embracing the pure honesty of horses. Their lack of judgement helps you find truth and vulnerability. You don’t need to rid yourself of fear or shame—just stop hiding it. Horses can help you reveal your true self without judgement.

Reflect on Your Struggles

Ask yourself:

• Are you battling severe depression, sadness, loneliness, anxiety, or other emotional health issues?
• Are you embarrassed by these feelings despite having so much in life?
• Do you have thoughts of self-hatred?
• Is emotional pain making it hard to get out of bed?
• Are you craving emotional balance and relief from exhausting thoughts?

Universal Connection

No matter your background—whether you’re rich or poor, famous or not, from a big city or a small town—everyone benefits from tools that improve emotional health. Our workshops provide these tools, helping women worldwide enhance their well-being. We routinely invest in our outer selves; it’s time to invest in our inner selves for overall health.

Take Time for Yourself

Women have historically been the caregivers and nurturers, often losing themselves in the process. Life can be noisy and distracting, making it easy to lose your way. Remember, where you are now is exactly where you need to be to take the next step, find your direction, and embrace your true self with confidence, joy, and courage.

Invest in Your Inner Self

Self-care is not selfish; it is self-full. Prioritising your own well-being allows you to better care for those around you. If your heart is sad or you’re hiding behind a facade, nobody wins—especially not you. Taking care of yourself first ensures that you can be genuinely present and happy.

Join Us: Experience the power of horses and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Our workshops offer a safe, supportive environment where you can connect with like-minded women. Engage in meaningful interactions and form bonds that extend beyond the workshop. Learn more about our next workshop here.
