Return on Character: Leaders Win In his groundbreaking book "Return on Character-The Real Reason Leaders and Their Companies Win", Fred Kiel proves that leaders with high character lead more successful companies. The most successful executives are self aware and integrate mind and heart. Experiential learning with a sentient being who mirrors our energy and emotions builds this alignment/congruence. Equine Assisted Coaching is perfect for this because horses, with their large hearts and minds and no language, mirror us --they are huge non-judgemental biofeedback machines that teach us mindfulness and "heartfulness". Especially combined with assessment and 360 feedback, EAC can offer incredibly powerful and effective transformational learning. If you are interested in learning more about how this can work for your organization's leadership development program, contact me.
