HORSEPOWER LEADERSHIP
Horses are powerful animals: they can detect the subtlest of emotions in humans and they will only take your lead if they sense you are sure of yourself. That’s why working with horses can build leadership, communication and trust for individuals and teams.

 INTRODUCTION

World-Class Wellbeing & Leadership Training: by horses

The Business Buddha has developed in collaboration with horse specialist Linda Lucas at Littlefield Manor a world class leadership and wellbeing training. We help companies develop more effective leaders, build resilience and cope better under stress. We work with teams to enable them to function at higher level. Being a healthy leader will bring wellbeing within your team. We work with organisations to access untapped creativity and help you navigate culture change.

We do this with horses and a team of experienced facilitators, through equine assisted learning. The horses do the coaching, we do the facilitating, design the training and create a safe space.

The course has a mixture of classroom and outdoor activities which will bring you close to nature and help you return to simplicity. We will help you to be your best self professionally and personally and re-discover your true nature.

The course can host a team of up to 8 people.

HORSEPOWER LEADERSHIP

Why horses?

Horses and people have been coexisting for about 6,000 years. We as humans are predators while horses are prey animals with a herd instinct. This makes them formidable communicators, able to communicate danger to the rest of the herd instantly and across distance. A horse can sense an animal’s heart rate, muscle tension and depth of breathing from a distance of 10 metres.

Horses don’t just have the ability to pick up on what’s out there; they have the ability to pick up on the subtlest of human emotions. A horse isn’t taking in by our public masks, how we want others to see us or how we want to see ourselves. To lead a horse requires authenticity.

Horses provide instant unfiltered feedback. No politeness, no political correctness. A feedback free from ego, there’s no judgment. And because there no judgment, participants experience less resistance, ensuring shadows and difficulties can surface in an authentic way.

Working with horses enables us to unearth those limiting beliefs that would have us lead ourselves from a place of fear, self-doubt and manipulation.

Horse work is a powerful way to develop presence, impact and relationship skills for leaders. To lead from a place of openness and clarity is to experience a profound change in the way we see ourselves and others.

HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT

Organisations, teams, individuals and horses all benefit

ORGANISATIONS

Horsepower Leadership can deliver fundamental change to your organisation by creating more authentic and effective leadership, refocused on your organisation’s purpose; which has a profound impact on how your organisation performs.

TEAMS

Working together with horses can help build communication, understanding and trust – a more conscious team. Teams that are newly formed, experiencing challenges, and scaling up will all grow and perform better together through Horsepower Leadership.

INDIVIDUALS

Individuals build confidence and their leadership experience, learning how to contribute more at work, while being more of the person they truly are.

HORSES

Horses enjoy having a job to do: our training gives them that opportunity, as well as giving them a different experience. Plus, we donate to a horse charity for every course we hold.

CASE STUDY

Having a horse as your coach

Many people lack confidence around horses, and many people lack confidence in their leadership skills; thinking they have to ‘act in a certain way’ to be a leader. True leaders are authentic, and a horse can detect inauthentic behaviour straight away. If a horse doesn’t want to be led, it won’t be. Also, a horse will tell you what is going on within you – if you are fearful, want to win at all costs, are overconfident, or you are coming from a place of ego – there is no hiding these emotions from a horse, because it will feel your energy. Horses can teach you to build trust, understanding and create confidence in yourself and the people you lead.
