Leadership - How can my business benefit?

Sales teams
Communication is at the heart of every sales department's success. Through the Cartier horses' extreme sensitivity, participants will find a new awareness and respect for the power of communication.

Department heads and leaders
Strong leaders possess passion, determination, confidence, positivity, commitment and realize the importance of maintaining personal integrity, honesty, courage, sincerity, compassion and sensitivity. Exercises are designed to bring out and fine tune these qualities as individuals work with the reflective and transparent nature of the horse.

Team building
Horses seek to find trusting and respectful leadership when charged to interact and a team's success depends on their ability to work together. Therefore, when teams are assigned to work through a task, horses will immediately pick up on the internal stress that individuals try to hide; the same energy that negatively impacts productivity. What are the skills horses force us to use in order to find success: keen observation, effective communication, articulation, appropriate assertiveness, active listening, productive negotiation, to name a few.

Employees, staff and personnel
Two facts: (1) productivity is a key element to a successful business of any size and (2) re-training is costly and impacts more than just the position held. Companies that motivate their workers find up to 50% increase in productivity and 60% reduction in turnover than companies who don't invest in their workers. The Cartier Equine Learning Center's EAL program series has proven to encourage workers to take a vested interest in their job by "getting engaged" and clearly identifies the value of "every worker's position".

Negotiation conflict series
Conflict is a natural occurrence in every work environment but sometimes goes deep enough to undermine a company's effectiveness. Before a situation becomes terminal, the Cartier Equine Learning Center has found they can positively impact many awkwardly difficult circumstances. Horses are innately astute and immediately identify anxious, aggressive and nervous energy. This unique ability provides an experienced facilitator with a number of skill based options. Superseding an incident at the moment the horse identifies the source of contention or facilitating the conflict as it runs it's course are two possibilities; another comes by learning to respect each other for the value we bring to the position we hold.
