ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT
Unlock the benefits of a healthy organizational culture
Healthy organizational culture is paramount to the success of business and can only come from leaders and teams that understand the connection.
THE PROCESS
Effective organizational cultures focus on creating psychological safety that builds the resilience needed to create engagement from all stakeholders.
Our 3-step process to a healthy organizational culture
Awareness
Gain collective insight and awareness into the underlying beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions across your leadership team that are preventing your organization from creating a culture that values diverse perspectives and experiences.
Understanding
How people respond to those with different perspectives has a direct impact on the culture of an organization. Our experienced facilitators create psychological safety for authentic conversations that allow participants to a gain deeper connection with each other.
Change
Interpersonal connection is the pathway to creating more inclusive organizational cultures. Once beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions are no longer a barrier to building connection, leadership teams can begin moving an organization into alignment with its values.
THE APPROACH
'Learning by Doing' helps shape and build an organizational culture
that aligns with core values:
-
Nature-based experiential learning with horses
-
Increased collective awareness
-
Real-time application of cultural competency
-
Practice being curious about the unfamiliar
-
Cohesion and engagement among participants
THE FORMAT
Create structure around your culture
Organizational development is a vital part of creating a culture that aligns with the values espoused by leadership.
Our experiential programs create shared experiences that promote cohesion and engagement among participants. These shared experiences foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie, strengthening interpersonal relationships and reinforcing the values and norms that underpin the organizational culture.
As participants collaborate, problem-solve, and celebrate successes together, they develop a shared understanding of what constitutes effective behaviors and attitudes within the organization, further reinforcing the desired organizational culture.
Horses are flight animals, so they understand the importance of connection and collaboration in the context of their survival. This heightened awareness drives herd sustainability amidst constant threat and uncertainty, which isn't dissimilar to business landscapes.
Neuroscience offers valuable insights into the social nature of the brain in our reward and threat responses, habit formation, emotion regulation and neurodiversity all of which inform efforts to develop and sustain a healthy organizational culture.
By applying these learned behaviours and threat response insights, organizations can create cultures that promote interpersonal connection, stakeholder engagement, collaboration, innovation, and performance.

THE SCIENCE
LET'S CONNECT
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Build a Foundation
Developing leaders across the organization is a vital piece of the foundation needed to create a high performing organizational culture.
Effective leaders have the ability to set and communicate clear vision, influence stakeholders with confidence and the courage to take risk leads to growth.
TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Create the Layers
Strong teams leverage strengths of the team members to move through forming, storming, norming to performing.
Effective teams appreciate diverse perspectives and understand the importance of setting aside beliefs, perceptions and assumptions to work collaboratively.
COACHING & CONSULTING

Supporting the development of leaders, teams and healthy cultures doesn't have to be something that happens in a vacuum.
Having an outside coach or facilitator can provide objective insight that moves the needle when developing strategy or exploring innovative solutions.

Seeking more innovative thinking? Why not try horses?
I partner with horses to enhance leadership and team development for organizations because my “Why” is to challenge people to look beyond what is familiar and be open to solutions that they may not otherwise see because they are staying where they are comfortable...
