"The content is a treasure trove of leadership wisdom. Instructors are fantastic people / teachers and also have tremendous credibility and professional context that helps drive home the learnings. The horses element really offers a unique way of finding out what works/doesn’t. Also good team building exercise!!IN ALL: BY FAR THE BEST LEADERSHIP COURSE I HAVE ATTENDED IN MY 18-YEARS CAREER! POTENTIALLY LIFE-CHANGING". R. M.

 

"I really enjoyed the course content: introspective, logical, well structured, thought provoking and relatable. ! The way in which the concepts were presented resonated well – different perspectives, life stories, anecdotes – leading to a clear conclusion. The delivery was also engaging and energising, with good examples and stories from Mia & Bruce, who made the principles and concepts really come to life. Good level of interaction and sharing. I felt in a safe environment, where trust and openness were encouraged.I could see a clear link with working with the horses, which helped cement the knowledge we gained. Working with horses was very rewarding. A sense of wonder and happiness from establishing trust, giving direction, and leading with purpose." F. B.

 

"This course helped me see that growth doesn’t always come from pushing harder – sometimes it comes from pausing, noticing, and choosing to think differently. Because it was tailored specifically to our company, the lessons felt immediately relevant and actionable, with a direct impact on how we work. I had no idea, however, how much of an impact it would have on my personal life as well, but it did in ways I’m still unpacking. The combination of thoughtful tools, real team conversations, and the unexpected depth of working with horses brought the learnings to life in a way that was both practical and quietly profound. I’m walking away with a sense of peace and a renewed commitment to how I show up for others and myself." C. B.

 

"With this course, I feel a lot better equipped to carry out my work with the lessons we learnt, in my role as a leader, and as a person operating within an organisation.It’s not about the goal; it’s about growing towards becoming the person that can accomplish that goal”. That realization deepened last week during the 'Self-Leadership – From the Horse’s Mouth' training in Mechelen. I was a bit sceptical beforehand, working with horses didn’t sound like the most obvious way to learn about leadership. But it turned out to be a surprisingly powerful mirror. You can’t convince a horse to follow you; you have to earn it. It only happens when you’re calm, focused and fully present, when there’s real connection rather than control.Personal growth doesn’t stop once you reach a goal. It’s something you keep practicing, consciously, every day." D. v B.

 

"Reflecting on my own challenges has helped me to become aware of how much of it is in my own control to resolve them, which I feel I can do now with the insights and tools we got during the course. I am committed to using what I’ve learned in order to manifest my personal improvements on the work floor. The work with the horses taught me about making connection, daring to take the lead, and trust. If you’d have told me a few weeks ago – with “my fear for horses” – how well this would go and how much I’d enjoy this, I would not have believed you. Thank you so much!" I. K.
