HR Executive Equine Leadership Retreat - Leading with Intention

Come explore how enhancing your self and emotional awareness can shift leadership presence and practice. Facilitated by Gail Boone, in partnership with her herd of horses, this immersive retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience the magic and power of equine-facilitated learning.

  

Program Overview

Through experiential exercises and reflective dialogue, you will:

  • Shift perspective and deepen emotional, social, and relational intelligence
  • Explore the messages behind emotion and their impact on leadership
  • Discover the Five Roles of a Master Herder, a model for socially intelligent leadership
  • Engage in non-traditional development activities that challenge and inspire

Why should you attend?

  • Exclusive Access: Limited seats ensure a highly personalized experience
  • Unique Approach: Learn through interaction with horses
  • Transformational Outcomes: Gain insights into trust, boundaries, and authentic leadership

This is not a typical leadership workshop - it’s an experiential journey designed for a small, exclusive group of senior leaders who are ready to elevate their leadership presence in a profound way.
