Understanding and Enhancing Your Influence as a Leader
Join Pam McPhee and Judy Ringer at beautiful Tuckaway Farm in Lee, NH, for a new hands-on learning experience about leadership, power, and centered presence.
Leadership Presence is an opportunity to step away from the daily world of demands and habitual patterns, shake up the senses, and engage in experiences that ask us to confront ourselves and enhance our ability to influence others in achieving results. This experiential workshop helps individuals to clarify and practice the skills they need to intentionally and effectively ‘show up’ at their jobs, engage in their work, and live their lives.
Leadership Presence brings people and horses together to enhance self-awareness and to develop the quality of connection that supports highly effective relationships. Participants are encouraged to slow down and de-construct the components of relationship in order to intentionally build connections that support excellence and collaboration.
Why horses?
Inspiring Brilliance….
Inherently more powerful than humans, horses can challenge us to either attempt to control behavior and require compliance or to use our presence as leaders to inspire brilliance.
Encouraging Insight…
The horse serves as a metaphor for those we need to partner with to achieve results, and as teachers for how to be more effective as humans.
Providing Practice…
Horses provide immediate and honest feedback that allows participants to explore different components of partnership and leadership:
Comments from past participants:
"I want to say how much I enjoyed the day. Having the opportunity to interact with horses relative to leadership gave me a unique opportunity to look at our 4-legged teachers in another way."
