Reach Out to Leadership

The most unique leadership course you will ever take!

We don’t use those words lightly.  When you experience this innovative approach to leadership, communication, teamwork and success we are sure you will agree that this course is on the cutting edge of management and today’s radically changing business world.

There is a lot of talk these days about ethical and sustainable business.  “Green”, “sustainable”, “ethical”, “global community”, “giving back” - all great buzzwords and phrases flying around the world of business.  Although people may disagree about what sustainable and ethical mean, what is clear is that businesses are quickly moving in a new direction.  Throughout the world, people are beginning to create teams, communities, and organizations that truly exist to make the entire world a better place.  Maybe for the first time in human history we are mobilizing in a sincere attempt to change the model of “business as usual” to a model of “business having a positive effect on the planet.”   

What does it mean to be a sustainable and ethical organization?

The old model of business is pretty simple.  You create a hierarchal structured organization and everyone does whatever it takes within their job descriptions to feed the bottom line.  And just what is that bottom line?  Profit.  Company policies, employee benefits, customer service, and the like, all designed to ensure the money keeps rolling in.  And although always welcomed, elements like an earth friendly company, a valuable, useful or healthy product, and happy, passionate employees, just to name a few, really don’t matter.  These unintended side-effects are expendable if it means adding to the Bottom Line. 

To us the definition of sustainable and ethical is very simple.  It means that your organization’s main focus is to bring value to the community while making a profit.  It means that your organization is Customer-friendly, Employee-friendly, Organization-friendly, Community-friendly, and Earth-friendly; all while being Profit-friendly.  After all, at the end of day if you aren’t making money, you don’t have a business to be sustained.  

How do we create a sustainable and ethical team?

But creating or transitioning your organization to a sustainable and ethical model can be overwhelming and difficult and no matter how sincere a desire you have to see that change occur, desire is not enough.  You need a strategy and the tools to make that dream a reality.  And that’s where we come in. 

Anna and Reach Out to Horses have teamed up with The International School for Ethical Business to create a true Ethical and Sustainable Leadership training program second to none.  No matter how big or small the change you wish to see in your organization Reach Out to Leadership (ROTL) can help you get there.   Through this fun and engaging hands-on workshop you will understand what true leadership is all about.  Your team will discover how your strengths and weaknesses directly affect the ability (or inability) to lead. 

Using the principles learned over this three day workshop, you will see an immediately impact on your team and begin to create an environment in which everyone’s abilities are utilized, morale is better than ever and productivity is increased “through the roof.”  You will finally discover what’s preventing your organization from the results you’ve been seeking and how to instantly improve it.

We will explore how to:                                                                                                                           

• create a motivated and highly productive team
• reduce stress and other destructive elements
• genuinely improve morale, not just give it “lip service”
• keep your team focused on priority tasks
• create a team in which each individual takes full responsibility for their “piece of the pie.”
• uncover and utilize the full talents of every team member

And much, much more…

And to ensure you get the maximum benefit for you and your team, we will sit down with you ahead of time and customize our program to meet your goals & objectives so you will leave with the exact tools you need to effect massive positive change in your team, workplace and in some cases the entire company. 

Do you know your DNA?

To ensure you get the maximum benefit for you and your team, we will sit down with you to create a Development Needs Analysis (DNA) before the workshop even begins.  This DNA will help us to customize our program for you, ensuring that we will meet your goals & objectives and you will leave with the exact tools you need to effect massive positive change in your team, workplace and in some cases the entire company. 

And did we mention that you get to work with horses!

So what have Horses got to do with Leadership?

 
Very simply, horses are some of the best teachers of leadership on the planet.  How can that be?  They don’t even speak English or any other language for that matter.  Or do they?  Horses have developed a silent language.  It has evolved over millions of years and goes far beyond body language.  They are also far more perceptive than most people realize.  They have an innate sense of understanding people’s characters and personalities and an ability to sense the unspoken.  They know your intentions and agenda before you even touch them. 

Horses also have a herd hierarchy, they all have roles & responsibilities within the group – just as we humans do.   The leader of the herd leads through confidence & respect, which in turn provides the herd trust in his leadership.  He creates a comfort zone in times of need.  He listens to his herd members and creates a team, allowing for individuals to grow.  In short he is a true leader of the herd.

The relationship between humans and horses has been extensive and continues to grow as our understanding of these intelligent creatures expands.  Through their pure and generous nature, they have been utilized as working animals for farmers, fishermen, transportation, cavalry and more.  Only recently have we discovered that their natural ability to reflect people’s emotional states, thoughts and intentions can be pivotal in helping mental & physical health in people throughout the world.  Horses have become tremendous educators for our personal growth & learning.   This kind of experiential learning has a profound impact and creates lasting results.  Now this opportunity of a lifetime is available to you!  It’s time to learn from nature, time to learn to listen to the horses! 

The horses will teach you how to:         

• control your energy during frustration & upsetting situations
• become more assertive
• create a trust based partnership
• create a positive & rewarding environment
• create focus, trust & respect                
• build a successful relationship
• read & recognize people’s body language
• replace force & violence with a gentle & effective approach
• create true motivation
• create authentic leadership skills and values

Through holistic horsemanship demonstrations and hands-on exercises you will discover the real importance of genuine communication within a team.  We will highlight the desired character traits for an effective leader and show the value of creating a trust based partnership.  You will be introduced to the silent language of the horse and face the challenge of becoming the leader of the herd.  You will have many opportunities to work with the horses including an exercise in which you and a horse work one-on-one maneuvering through an obstacle course while he remains at liberty (that means free, no ropes no lines, no restraints, NADA!)

Step out of the office, and the classroom and into an adventure in which you will learn not only what truly frustrates, motivates and inspires people but how to effectively lead your team to real, permanent and sustainable success.

Reach Out to Wisdom

Just Three Days Away from Uncovering your Destiny

What if you knew you were only three days away from creating a fulfilling, abundant life?  What if you were only 3 days from knowing what truly brings joy into your life?  What If you were only 3 days from uncovering your life’s purpose? 

These days there is a lot of talk about manifesting desires, about making your dreams come true and living a life of abundance and success.   With the recent popularity of “The Secret” and other life changing books and movies, people once again are being introduced to a very simple idea: 

You have the power to create the life of your dreams. 

Plenty of wonderful programs exist to teach you the “Hows” of changing your life.  Every famous speaker, teacher and development organization has their unique brand, technique and style of helping you “reprogram” your mind for abundance and success.  Unfortunately though this is where many of those programs stop. 

Like children we bring more and more “stuff” into our lives, thinking that will bring us happiness.  With our newfound skill, we try to create material abundance, find our soul mates, dream our impossible dreams and still whether we succeed or not (and many times not, there is still that nagging feeling that something isn’t right – something is missing. 

If you’ve ever attempted to make a positive change in your life and felt that way, the problem isn’t you.  Nor is it necessarily the fault of an “ineffective” program.  The problem is much deeper than that.  There is an element missing, a piece of the puzzle yet to be found.

That is where Reach Out to Wisdom begins.

In this extraordinary 3-day workshop we will explore topics like:

• what it means to live a truly fulfilling life and how to create it
  (not just quick “get what I want” fixes)
• what an abundant, joyful life looks like in your life and what is important to you
• who and what it is that creates your life
• is there such a thing as a “wrong” goal or desire?
• the real “Secret” to bringing what you want into your life
• what your Soul’s purpose is for this lifetime.
•  and more…

This is not just a “get whatever you want in 3-days” seminar.  We will delve deep to discover just what it is that brings true abundance, success, love and joy to your life, what your Soul’s Purpose is for this lifetime and how to set that path in motion.

And the most exciting part…

Our guide on this exciting journey will be our fellow planetary companion, the horse.   Through hands-on exercises with the horses they will teach you that missing piece of the puzzle.  They will show you what you need to truly create that life you’ve always dreamed. 

“How can a horse tell me how to live an abundant successful life?”

The relationship between humans and horses has been extensive and continues to grow as our understanding of these intelligent creatures expands.  Through their pure and generous nature, they have been utilized as working animals for farmers, fishermen, transportation, cavalry and more. 

Only recently though have we discovered their natural ability to reflect people’s emotional states, thoughts and intentions and how pivotal that can be in helping mental & physical health in people throughout the world. 

Because of this unique ability horses have become tremendous educators for personal growth & learning.

Horses have extraordinary abilities to teach us many lessons including who you really are in the world.  What may take a counselor hours, days, weeks, maybe even months to discover, a horse intuitively sees in mere moments.   

Horses are far more perceptive than most people realize.  They have an innate sense of understanding people’s characters and personalities and an ability to sense the unspoken.  They know your intentions and agenda sometimes even before you do.  You can lie to a therapist.  You can lie to a friend. You can lie to yourself.  But you can’t lie to a horse.

Truth be told, your success is not dependent on what you have, what you can do or what you can convince people to believe.  It is dependent first and foremost on who you are and how you do what you do in your life. 

And rather than read about it or study principles in a classroom setting, this fun, exciting and revealing hands-on course is designed to allow you to immediately experience your life and your success instead. 

If you are just looking for another method of “spiritual or

energetic” manifestation or a superficial “paint job” of your life then this course is probably not for you. 

But if you are looking for a safe and encouraging setting to go deeper than perhaps you ever have before, to bring true abundance and success into your life, to effect genuine, life-affirming change to your entire world, then Reach Out to Wisdom is for you.  

Let the horses show you exactly how you operate in the world, how that’s preventing you from living the life you were meant to live and how to get back on the road to Your Fulfilling, Abundant Life.

You are only 3 days from finally completing the puzzle of a fulfilling, abundant life.
