Many years ago I flew to Tamworth for leadership training that would quite frankly impact the way I thought about leadership for the rest of my career.
I bet you're wondering, what was so special about it?
Well, this training wasn't your typical classroom leadership course. It was led by the founder of Leadership Horsepower, Stuart Harrison. Stu helps people develop emotional intelligence and leadership skills through working with horses. Wild, right!
Horses are excellent at reading the signals and emotions you're giving off, and their reactions are authentic and immediate. If you learn to pay attention to their responses and then modify your behaviour accordingly, you'll be far better equipped to interact with your team, learning how to understand their emotions and then managing them from where they're at.
If you're interested in learning what it means to lead well, and develop relationships with your team that will see them thrive and grow, I definitely recommend tuning into this episode!
