Empowering Leadership through Herd Dynamics
At Eat Sleep Ride CIC, we harness the natural wisdom of horses and herd dynamics to cultivate effective leadership and team cohesion.

''It was brilliant. It helped get through a big blocker in my thinking about leadership - a blocker I didn't even know I had before the session. It helped me realise that no one leads alone - you need a combination of people to lead a project or idea to success. Would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about going along'' Emi User Researcher Scottish Goverment
''I found the session really insightful and affirming. The concept of a single, hierarchical leader has never sat well with me, so the idea of shared leadership and shared responsibilities felt a lot more comfortable and in line with my own values of servant leadership.'' Laura User Researcher Scottish Goverment
