For Teams

Every team has its strength and its weak spot. There are countless reasons why teams sometimes do not function optimally.

The key to better functioning of any group always lies in decisions made by individuals.

We strengthen the ability of your team members to deploy five roles of natural leadership.

These roles are universal, we see them in both humans and animals. We already have them in us. That is why they are recognizable to everyone. The image above is metaphorically intended for the inner balance and mutual coordination that is necessary for good cooperation. During experiential team sessions with horses, we work through safe floor exercises with horses. So there is no riding on horses.

The sessions answer questions such as:

  • What is the main strength of this team?
  • What is the main challenge?
  • How does the mutual communication work?
  • What does the team need to get into its strength?
During a team day with horses, we see a reflection of the normal cooperation. The reactions of the horses immediately show which adaptations work well. This allows the team to practice with what does work, and translate these insights directly back into daily work reality.

The Master Herder Leadership Model

We are certified in working with Linda Kohanov's "The Five Roles of a Master Herder": an innovative model for gaining insight into leadership and team dynamics. This approach includes an online self-test that provides individuals and teams with insight into their strengths and challenges according to these roles, which provides important guidance for the focus of our interventions..

Testimonials

Josselien, you're too modest... So I hereby tell everyone what you mean and what you do and contribute to your coachees, how professional you are. The horses you use are the mirrors, but, Josselien, you are the horsepower that ultimately leads to the transformation.

I can heartily recommend Josselien's "power".

- Irma Pouw, Pouw HR Advies -

It is impossible to imagine what happens when you are put in the ring with a horse and something is expected of you. Suddenly some things don't seem to go as smoothly as you thought and you start thinking about actions that you normally do on autopilot.

I have followed a similar training and therefore know somewhat what is happening. Horses mirror us flawlessly and Josselien's guidance is really fantastic.
