Why use horses?

Why use horses?

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?

  • A horse communicates mainly through body language. To be effective, your mind, emotions, intention and body language must be completely aligned towards conveying the same message.
  • A horse is independent. It doesn’t care about your name, your fame, your position, or your past achievements. It will give you honest feedback.
  • Horses are prey animals. If you suddenly doubt your action, the horse will sense it immediately and challenge your leadership. The horses reflect your ‘real’ mood and model your behaviour, whether you like it or not.
  • Horses are herd animals. They naturally look for an authentic and confident leader.
  • Learning from experience makes the lessons unforgettable
Learn the ancient art of horse whispering.

Impact Leadership was magnificent for me. It was probably the best course I’ve ever been on for teaching yourself about yourself. I would encourage anyone to do it now!

About Janine

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!”
