Barefoot Coaching plus The Chief Executives Office: two's company, three's a horse

Kim Morgan is the principal of Barefoot Coaching, John Webster, her partner, is the head of CEO Ltd. This study illustrates the awesome power of 'Horse Assisted' couples work. Here, you observe your partner interacting with a horse who is 'standing in' for you. This is what they said afterwards:

Kim:

"I came looking to increase my turnover. Now I’m literally turning work away! The experience was one of the most lasting and amazing pieces of work I have ever done.  I am telling everyone I know about horsejoy and recommending that they experience Paul’s process.

As a therapist, coach and personal development trainer with 15 years’ experience, I was pretty sure that I had tackled most of my personal issues. Anyone who works as a coach or therapist will know how rare this kind of insight is.

Within minutes I was impressed by Paul’s  ease and elegance as a coach.  He engendered an amazing sense of trust in me.  His calm and persuasive persistence enabled me to keep working with his beautiful horse, Serendipity.   Paul skilfully interpreted what was happening right there between the horse and I as a metaphor for other areas of my life.

I found myself having a profound realisation about myself and my relationships – a real eureka moment!"

John:

"Paul’s process is really superb and I would recommend it to anyone without question.  I just wish I was that good.

After ten years executive coaching, I thought I was pretty familiar with both the coaching process and myself.  In three hours with Paul and Serendipity, his six year old horse, I think it was established that I was the least intelligent of the trio!  Paul’s process is beautifully logical and elegantly delivered.  I identified a real personal issue that I had just not been able to resolve.  In about 15 minutes, Serendipity led me to a solution, unwittingly at the same time confirming what many of my friends have said to me over the years, that really I am pretty much a donkey!
