Equine Alchemy Leadership Experience…
Combines 20 years of Organization Development, Leadership and Executive Coaching and “horse sense” to bring you and your organization insight and awareness to Socially Intelligent Leadership that will fast track your leadership and performance.
Horses Have So Much To Tell Us About Leadership…
I am a Sr. Director with GoDaddy in HR Transformation, so leadership is a part of my everyday life. Leadership is an evolution, not something that can be learned from a book. Equine Alchemy and Lisa Murrell’s Equine Assisted Leadership Development experience taught me how to be self-aware, actively listen to both the spoken and the unspoken and most importantly, how to listen to my whole self rather than my conditioned self when making decisions that impact my team or others. Thank you Lisa for an amazing, life changing journey!
Leadership Development with horses brings to life over fifteen years of research, experimentation, and experience. You will take-away (and own) horse-inspired insights on the nonverbal elements of exceptional communication, action and leadership to benefit your workplaces and relationships.
The Equine Alchemy experience provides a safe environment to test and practice new learning. Our approach to experiential learning with horses is suited for teams focused on developing advanced leadership capabilities that include:

“I found Equine Alchemy while looking for innovative ways to develop change capable leaders both at work and as part of my studies as a doctoral student at George Washington University… Lisa brought Equine Assisted Leadership to life for me in such a dynamic and thought provoking way! Through her years of consulting experience, combined with her horsemanship skills, Lisa created a unique learning environment that gave me practical skills and confidence required to begin using them immediately in my professional and personal life. Equine Alchemy’s Leadership and Team Development experience is an amazing learning opportunity for new and experienced leaders searching for a way to enhance engagement, build trust, drive change, and leave the old ways of leading through fear or dominant behaviors behind.”

“While I had an idea around the concept of experiential learning, I did not really know what to expect. Working with the horses, however, was one of the best experiences I’ve had in terms of gaining immediate and unbiased feedback. The exercise that we did became a very clear metaphor for me in terms of how my team currently approaches tasks and what will happen if we do not make specific adjustments in order to achieve our overall objectives related to product launch. The horses are better feedback mechanisms with respect to leadership assessment than any manufactured management tool. It was great learning.” ~

“Imagine what we can accomplish when we finally understand how to be powerful, together.”
“Nurturers, companions, leaders, and dominants are all crucial to herd cohesiveness. Members tend to play more than one role, though rarely all four.
The thing about being human among animals ten times your size is that you really do need to perform all of these roles well to become a Master Herder, especially in the great unfenced backcountry where freedom abides.”
