Coaching with Horses - Coaching with Presence

In association with Zenergy and LeadChange this 1-day workshop provides a rare opportunity for coaches and facilitators to experience a radically different coaching approach - interacting with horses at liberty. Horses give instant, honest, embodied feedback moment-by-moment that reflects back how we are being and behaving around them; they do not role-play!

Through coaching from workshop leaders, other participants and the horses this workshop introduces an embodied approach to coaching that assists participants to develop and deepen their presence and awareness. Learn about horse-whispering and reflexive coaching through deepening your connection, presence and intention when coaching and facilitating others.

What is the difference between good coaching and great coaching?

Great coaching makes use of, and goes beyond the use of processes, tools and techniques.  Great coaches have highly-developed sensory awareness, pick up on energy, ask powerful questions and ‘hold the space’ for their clients by being fully present.

Workshop Outcomes

• Increase in sensory awareness
• Fine tuning the ability to ‘be with’ on all levels
• Listening and sensing for thinking, feeling, intuition, and action
• Improving ability to ask insightful questions
• Being in peak coaching state – fully present
• Developing ability to pick up on clients’ energy

Comments from participants

"It was incredible. I broke through with a realisation that it was I who needed the lead and not the horse. I gained access to the power of crystal-clear intentions and to a whole new level of awareness."
- Stephen Thorpe, Zenergy Director and Facilitator
