Emotional intelligence is hard to ‘teach’ in a traditional classroom setting.

At Impact Coaching we believe Emotional Intelligence is a vital quality for surviving and thriving in the modern workplace.

There are many definitions of “EQ” but the core elements are recognised as Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness and Relationship Management.

Emotional Intelligence is however, hard to “teach” in a traditional classroom setting.


We design and deliver Experiential learning & development programmes for leaders and teams that involve interactions with horses.

We work with horses in our programmes because they are amazing co-facilitators for Leadership Development and Team Building. The reason for this is they are masters at reading our body language, emotions, energetic presence and intentions.
This non-verbal communication represents 93% of all human interaction and has a HUGE effect on how we are perceived, how we come across, and how others respond to us in the workplace. But it is largely ignored by classroom based or online Learning & Development programmes.
Why Horses?

What happens?

In our programmes, participants observe and interact with horses on the ground. There is no riding involved and no horse experience is required.

The way the horses behave and respond reveals without judgement, exactly what it’s like to be in the participant’s presence, what it’s like to be led by them, or to be in a team with them.

Once this has been revealed, participants can then practise different ways of relating to themselves and the horses, and witness in the moment the effect this has - and therefore the effect this would have on their colleagues in the workplace.

The learning is embodied and highly memorable.

The outcome is individuals who are self-aware and adaptable, can regulate their emotions, and relate to others with empathy, clarity and authenticity.
