Circles for Success - A corporate Leadership Program*
Contact for customized quote 

Corporate retreats focus on Leadership. How do horses relate to leadership?

Horses have an inexplicable ability to read people. Do you know how they do it? Beyond basic survival instincts, the life of a horse is governed by hierarchy: a herd environment with leaders holding many different roles. Each day, those leaders battle to maintain their roles. However, those "battles" are not won verbally, by undermining one another, a battle of wills, or through bullying. Everything is established through the clear and concise use of body language. Why? Leadership can be examined through the focus of many lenses including self reflection, taking charge, leading from behind, home dynamics, establishing expectations, etc.

Through Circles For Success, your team will learn how body language in the horse world can directly translate and be relatable to the body language of humans in the corporate world. Retreats can focus on anything you'd like. Remember, you are running the show, and we are here to help facilitate with the use of horses and our beautiful location.

Available only by request and subject to availability. Contact Ms. Jean at 540-364-3741 and at naturalconnectionprogram@gmail.com for one day retreats or contact Kelley Moss at 540-364-2627 and at kmoss@marriottranch.com for Corporate Retreats with accommodations.
