Today's Reality

The most successful businesses are built by effective teams, whether multi-level, multi-functional or short-term task forces convened for high-stakes challenges. At the same time, today's workplace is more global, technology-driven and "next generation" than ever before.

For the first time in history, four generations are working together. Team members are required to engage in new ways. And deadlines are tighter than ever. Miscommunication and misdirected efforts abound, resulting in wasted hours, or worse...burnout before success is achieved.

A Fresh Reality

According to the literature, every new team must work through three phases to become high-functioning; Forming, Storming, Norming¹ -- which can take weeks, even months. The Horse Institute helps teams accelerate this process during a custom-crafted two day workshop featuring experiential coaching in the form of Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).

Eye-Opening Results

Participants and their employers consistently report that their experience at The Horse Institute heightened their team's ability to establish productive group dynamics, build trust and bond, tackle problems and find better solutions. The return to the office more aligned and energized...motivated and empowered to tackle their next challenge.
