"Problems cannot be truly solved if those causing the problems cannot truly see it." - Arbinger Institute "Self Deception & Leadership" Imagine a boardroom in which those at a table take a 5 minute "check yourself" break. Before the diagnosing of the problem or situation begins, one diagnoses themself. There is a healthy self-awareness in the room... and then someone says, "ohhh I have it, yep, it was me on this one. This was how I was thinking and it was getting in the way of..." and then another chimes in... The greatest gift we can give anyone: spouses, employees, coworkers, friends, etc... The gift of a continually refined self-awareness. #SelfAwareness #ProblemSolving #LeadershipDevelopment

🌟Leadership Training—But Make It Transformational" 🌟 Leadership programs often teach through lectures and theory. But what if real learning happened through hands-on, transformative experiences? Leadership development with horses turns traditional training on its head. The process becomes the lesson. Horses provide direct, unbiased feedback, helping participants uncover their strengths and explore areas for growth in real-time. "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆’𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒖𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒚𝒆𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒋𝒖𝒅𝒈𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒄𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔." Participants discover through practice and self-reflection what it truly takes to lead. This approach equips leaders with the tools to foster growth not only in themselves but also in their teams. It’s about understanding how your leadership impacts others and building the capacity to inspire, empower, and drive change. Horses teach us that great leadership isn’t about control—it’s about connection, trust, and clarity. Imagine a team where these qualities thrive. 🌟 Curious about this unique approach to leadership training?

Trauma & Leadership: The Impact on Relationships Here’s the hard truth—trauma doesn’t just affect your personal life, it follows you into your leadership too. It can show up as difficulty trusting your team, avoiding tough conversations, or even feeling isolated at the top. Trauma builds walls, and those walls can disconnect you from the people you lead. But leadership is about connection, trust, and vulnerability. Want to break the cycle? Here are 3 practical tips to lead through the lens of healing: 1️⃣ Self-Awareness: Recognize when past experiences are influencing your reactions with your team. Awareness is the first step to change. 2️⃣ Open Communication: Practice vulnerability with your team. Sharing even a small part of your journey can create a culture of trust and openness. 3️⃣ Get Support: Every great leader needs a support system. Whether it’s a coach, mentor, or therapist—don’t hesitate to invest in your own healing. It will ripple through your leadership. True leadership means breaking down the walls that trauma builds and creating authentic connections. When you heal, your leadership becomes stronger—and so does your team. 💼💪 #Leadership #selfcare #TraumaInformedLeadership #MentalHealthMatters #LeadWithHeart

"Go go go needs slow slow slow and slow slow slow needs go go go." One thing myself and Therapycise are known for in our sessions is energy. Another aspect would be enthusiasm and unmatched levels of passion. One thing a lot of people dont see outside of the private work, group work and keynotes is the calming, mental imagery and parasympathetic work we do with the MENTAL GAME. "Go go go needs slow slow slow and slow slow slow needs go go go."

🌱 Healing Leadership: How Childhood Trauma Influences Executive Decision-Making 🌟 In the world of leadership, our past experiences shape the ways we handle challenges, make decisions, and foster relationships. Yet, one factor is often overlooked: the impact of unresolved childhood trauma. In my latest article for CEOWorld, I dive into how early-life adversity shapes leadership styles, affects emotional regulation, and influences risk tolerance in high-stakes environments. This isn't just about personal growth - it's about creating workplaces where empathy and resilience drive better outcomes. 🧠 When leaders address their past experiences, they unlock potential for a more compassionate, balanced approach to decision-making. Embracing trauma-informed leadership can transform entire organizational cultures, leading to healthier, more productive teams. If you're interested in how healing can enhance leadership, build trust, and improve overall well-being in the workplace, I invite you to read the full article. Let’s foster a future where authenticity and empathy are strengths, not vulnerabilities. 👉 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eVfynFKc #Leadership #MentalHealth #TraumaInformedLeadership #ExecutiveDecisionMaking #WorkplaceWellness #HealingLeadership
