“Impact’s Leadership Development Programme is the best I’ve ever been to in my whole career. It was authentic, it was relevant and we got so much out of it as a team.”
CEO Wellington Zoo, Karen Fifield
A powerful and proven leadership programme for women who want to improve their performance in a challenging environment. This unique two day course uses interaction with horses to help you develop leadership presence.
Women from different leadership positions within a variety of organisations:
Horses are astonishingly effective at giving accurate, undistorted feedback on your leadership style. It is almost impossible to achieve this level of unbiased feedback from a human without taking it personally.
Why are horses such an effective training tool?
You come away from the programme with an increase in self-awareness which enables you to:
Our programme starts with a two day, hands-on learning experience with the horses, focused by direct coaching from the horse whisperer and our leadership facilitator. The schedule shows what to expect during the event, but our programme can be customised to suit your organisation.

London-born journalist, Janine Sudbury, started her career working for the BBC in the UK and National Radio in New Zealand. Over the past 15 years Janine has used these communication and leadership skills to develop the Impact Leadership Programme, A Look Within. She is the programme co-ordinator, facilitator, videographer and is also a keen horsewoman. She calls the programme ‘disruptive leadership’ because of its transformational effect.
Janine is excited to launch our Women’s leadership programme because she is passionate about empowering women. “This is an original way to create powerful female leaders in traditional industries. We guarantee our programme will make huge changes to your performance and help you release your potential.”
Janine has hand-picked only the best horse trainers from around New Zealand and abroad with which to collaborate. Using the Impact leadership model called the ‘Seven Principles of the Horse Whisperer’, she has designed a learning pathway that enables you to develop your own leadership style during the two day programme. This unique collaboration offers participants an experience of a lifetime.
“I realised that what I could share with people was not something that they were ever going to get with traditional training…horse whispering is not a mystical art form for dealing with horses, it is a method that equally applies to bringing the best out in people. I have had people imploring me to make this information known because of the transformational impact it can have on their lives. This is a training not to be missed!”
If you’re looking for a transformative leadership experience, we’d love to talk.
