Corus: integrating with integrity

"Memorable at the very least, and for some, profoundly life changing" - Chris Rowles

This study illustrates how effective it can be to integrate a module or two of 'horsejoy' into a much larger programme - even when delivered by multiple providers.

Chris Rowles, Director of Ashorne Hill Management College, leader of 'Leadership in Management' for Corus, shares his positive experience (see him interviewed and his people working with us):

"Working with horsejoy can take you to places that you would not normally visit.  I have worked with Paul and his amazing horses for the past four years, using their talents on an International Leadership Programme, this involves integrating their unique approach into a development package for aspiring high potential leaders and experienced managers alike.  The horsejoy programme provides a safe and insightful opportunity to unlock the limitations that people place upon themselves, it also builds an effective metaphor for today’s leadership challenges of setting direction, providing support, challenging the status quo and enabling others, consequently there is relevance for all delegates.

After experiencing a horsejoy event personally and also watching from the sidelines it is apparent that the horses do not lie, if you do not authentically lead them, their herd instinct to choose a real leader shows through in their reaction to you. The leadership feedback is immediate, and the Horsejoy team can help you explore aspects of working relationships that in our day to day work lives are outside the scope of 'normal' discussion. Difficult topics relating to comfort zones, team dynamics, business innovation, interpersonal relationships and  delivering feedback can all be addressed and developed through the metaphors created between you and the horse by the Horsejoy team.

The horsejoy approach will create an immensely powerful breakthrough experiences for most of those who commit themselves to the process, for others they will have a satisfying time working with Horses ultimately developing a feeling of achievement.  Whatever the outcome, the experience my delegates have had is, at least memorable, and for others it is profoundly life changing. The experience is so impactive that potential delegates now requests to come on  "the programme with the horses". If you are looking for an and unorthodox yet relevant and impactive activity horsejoy can deliver it."
