Coaching Skills through Horse Wisdom is a deep journey of self-exploration and transformational learning. In addition to classroom and group process work, our equine coaches help us develop new competencies in working with and relating to others, exercising mind-body awareness, non-verbal communication, assertiveness, creativity, and leadership skills.
We explore intersubjectivity, or the sharing of subjective states by two or more sentient beings, and Coaching from a Systems perspective. In Coaching Skills through Horse Wisdom you will learn how to integrate the deep insights revealed from our equine partners; an integration that offers a perspective of embodied knowingness and deep connection with your personal power. Through this work of your own personal transformation you will learn these skills of emotional and energetic agility and their applications with clients.
The 9 month program consists of 4 on-site five-day experiences in New York, Florida and Arizona plus independent study assignments in between sessions. This program focuses on developing new perspectives on learning and competency in managing your own transitions as well as learning how to utilize these new perspectives in coaching others.
"The experience of working with horses requires a relationship with another being. It requires an acute awareness of boundaries—yours and theirs—as well as skill in interpreting body language. Interacting with horses requires obtaining permission to lead and demonstrating a willingness to follow. Such a relationship demands courage as well as vulnerability. Most importantly, the horse requires authentic communication. Twenty minutes in the round pen with a horse will take these powerful, insightful concepts off the page, out of your head, and anchor them into your entire being. " Schelli Whitehouse, Coach and Graduate
Horses are powerful allies in helping us learn how to manifest success in life and work. They keep reminding us of our authentic goals and desires---and continually illustrate how to put them into action. Combined with a Multi-level Systemic Coaching™ methodology, this powerful learning allows you to efficiently work on yourself as means to develop your coaching skills for others.
Coaching Skills through Horse Wisdom provides a coaching approach based upon energetic and emotional agility that contains a set of tools for observing and shifting your way of being and how you interface with your environment, the basis of coaching.
Through work with the highly sensory equine partners we can engage in this approach experientially. It is this experiential learning with another being that differentiates Coaching Skills through Horse Wisdom from other coaching programs.
