Enhance Leadership Skills, Build Stronger Relationships, and Foster a Culture of Collaboration.
Whatever industry you’re in, you’ve likely said that you’re “really in the relationship business” when talking to your team or customers.
The truth is, every business is the relationship business because our interactions with others are at the heart of any successes we achieve.
This means relationships are also at the core of our challenges. Whatever those challenges are – communication, leadership, empathy, group cohesion, teamwork, and many others – they all come back to our interpersonal interactions.
If you’re tasked with helping individuals and teams work together and achieve peak levels of performance, Equine Facilitated Learning is a new and unique way to get powerful results.
After working with our certified EFL practitioner and our friendly, intuitive horses, individual leaders and teams can see:
Horses have evolved over the course of the last 55 million years to become the intuitive partners they are for us today.
As prey animals, horses crave calm, consistency, and security – and they’re experts at being in the moment and co-regulating their nervous systems.
Research shows that just being around horses has the power to invoke a sense of wellbeing in humans by helping us achieve a coherent state of heart rate variability.
All of these attributes make horses perfect partners in any work involving relationships. Whether that’s our relationship with ourselves, with others, or with the world in general. Horses give us insights into how we show up and how we can do better.
For leaders, executives, professionals of all types, and business teams, working with horses can bring about insights and revelations that lead to better relationships and better business outcomes.
Horse Powered Reading® transforms the learning experience by blending social-emotional learning with reading instruction. Students discover reading skills through unique ground-based activities with horses, where abstract concepts become physical experiences. Using creative props and exercises alongside our equine teachers, learners naturally develop the five key reading skills: phonemic awareness, decoding, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. This whole-body approach engages students at both intellectual and emotional levels, creating powerful learning moments that stick.
Leg Up Learning Solutions currently partners with Animal Assisted Therapies of the Mountain Communities to provide equine assisted therapy and additional skills-based groups for therapy clients. If you’re seeking counseling that incorporates experiential learning and the empathy and compassion of animals, please contact Kim Grogan, LPC to get started. Therapy clients are eligible for additional sessions with Leg Up Learning Solutions at a reduced cost.
