Leadership isn't just about getting people from one place to the other. Leadership is about how we lead, how we are perceived, how we are received...
With HorseDream Canada, we help our professional development clients understand their own leadership style and how best to apply their leadership skills with awareness of their influence. This is what Career Professionals of Canada (CPC) describes as Deliberate Leadership.
“Deliberate Leadership is about being self-aware enough that you can be purposefully wise, diplomatic, and intentional with competence. It is about embracing the values (and behaviours) of accountability, reliability, and responsibility. Deliberate Leaders lead by personally modelling the behaviours or ways of thinking that they desire while encouraging others to courageously take the initiative to be independent in their reasoning and in doing so, transfer ownership and responsibility to others.”

The horse shows us what we truly need to do to inspire and lead people. Are we aware of our body language, our attitude and our tone of voice? Do we realize that our confidence, or lack thereof, transmits through our body language to those we are working with? Our approach reflects qualities of leadership through non-verbal communication - the language a horse understands. When we see ourselves through the mirror that the horse provides, we gain more clarity and understanding of ourselves, and we can translate that new awareness into more effective ways of interacting and communicating.
