Hello Everyone! This is Baylee writing again, this time with an update on the latest activities at the Challenge U property.
Last week we held the first Equine Experiential Learning workshop at the new Challenge U property! Being the first event held at the new property, a lot of preparation went into making the day run as smoothly as possible. We were all very excited to see the end result come out so successfully. We had a great turnout, with participants coming for both the purposes of professional and personal development.
The workshop, called Horse Wisdom in Leadership: Communication – The Other 90%, was a leadership focused format. While it’s commonly recognized that only 10% of communication is verbal, in our culture, we’ve virtually become mesmerized by words as our social and educational systems teach us to dissociate from the body, the environment, and the subtle nuances of nonverbal communication. This one day introductory workshop included skills for accessing that “other 90%” with the help of the horses, exercising the non-verbal communication, assertiveness, emotional fitness, and relationship skills essential to leadership – as managers, innovators, entrepreneurs, educators, parents and mentors of the next generation.
Below is a testimonial from one of the workshop attendees:
“IT WAS THE MOST VALUABLE LESSONS I EVER HAVE GOTTEN ON MISS-COMMUNICATIONS. Trust your gut and do this training! It may save your marriage or save a client or save you from having to fire an employee. I strongly strongly strongly recommend this workshop if you are a manager or if you depend on your communication skills to make a living.”
