TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Building connected, collaborative and
high-performing Teams
Strong teams have a collective awareness and leverage the strengths of all team members to move through the stages of forming, storming, norming to performing.
THE PROCESS
Effective teams appreciate diverse perspectives and understand the importance of setting aside beliefs, perceptions and assumptions to work collaboratively.
Our 3-step process to building collaborative teams
Awareness
In order to work more effectively, team members first need to gain awareness of their own styles of communication, conflict management and interpretations of others’ behavior. Once team members become self-aware, they can begin to make changes to achieve the outcomes they want.
Understanding
Research indicates that “performance feedback is central to self-regulatory processes and team performance”. Experienced facilitators guide group debrief conversations about the feedback from the horses to understand why your team is either getting the results they want or not.
Change
With an awareness and understanding of what has been getting in the way of achieving the outcomes a team desires, connection and collaboration become much easier. Clarity of the beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions that have been preventing the team performing at a high level becomes an asset.

THE INTEGRATIONS
Our programs complement existing team development strategies

Experiential learning with horses engages every team member's brain in a way that can enhance both retention and application of new knowledge, having developed and practiced new skills as a team.
Having a basic understanding of neuroscience can provide teams with valuable insights into how the brain works individually and collectively, enabling them to collaborate more effectively.
With enhanced communication, stress management, innovation, trust, and leadership effectiveness teams can develop strategies and practices that optimize their performance and well-being.
