Testimonials:

I wanted to send you both a quick note to thank you once again, I really enjoyed the two days we spent together. I think you both did an excellent job with keeping the two days filled with learning’s and fun. As I reflected last night, I think we have come along way with identifying how we can work better as team and improve on communications. I found it amazing the difference from when we arrived Tuesday morning to when we left Wednesday evening, what a huge difference. I think your program is just what we needed and I look forward to spending another ½ day together as we explore trust and respect.

After doing the program? I noticed such a heightened sensitivity towards others based on increased self-insight and awareness, enhanced self confidence, greater collaboration and teamwork. You need to experience it for yourself to appreciate the full impact.

The way the day is designed provides for dynamic learning. Sharon and Bruce are able to focus on your group and what you need, and they adapt the program to meet those needs as the day goes on. People talk about what they want to learn, and they also help you see areas where you need more learning.

In the team exercise, we learned which members of the team were better communicators, and who tended to suffer in silence. One person was having trouble keeping up with the rest of the team, but didn’t say anything. And we realized how we sometimes discouraged people from communicating. Our team as a whole had a real breakthrough at this program. We’re a much better team now. There is more communications, more checking in with each other, more understanding of different people’s styles.

It’s Sharon and her style as much as the horses. She doesn’t leave any stone unturned, she goes deeper and deeper to get at the real issues, yet she’s so non-confrontational. It’s the whole package, I can’t imagine anyone else who could do it better. She understands business, human dynamics and horses – it’s really fantastic.

We benchmark different things at the company, and we’ve seen many of our scores improve since working with Sharon. There’s a whole range of leadership behaviours that we track and all of us have seen our scores go up. The Horse Sense program is definitely a big part of that.

I would recommend it either for organizational management training or for developing children who have relationship challenges. The horse is a perfect mirror for behavioural responses that are impossible to refute.
