What helped significantly was the credibility of June as a business leader with relevant and interesting experiences, as well as the option to work with a selection of horses, all with different personalities, this combined with the option of using horses to facilitate team and individual learning, accelerates team connectivity, trust and understanding, and has resulted in an increased desire to learn and do more as a team.
June is very knowledgeable but allows participants to learn through their own experiences rather than by instruction. It was fantastic to see how team work is used in a very practical exercise, not just some contrived task.
It was so different to anything that I have done previously and I gained so much from it. I enjoyed listening to your guidance and training. You are a wonderful facilitator and you have a great team there.
It takes courage to take to the stage and share your insights from such a personal perspective. It takes time to really think about what you’re going to say. It takes heart to be inspiring to all 520 delegates in the room that day.
To apply what I learned to several situations already and I’m now very aware of my inner stance and how I approach things. In fact, I am blown away by the level of learning and awareness I achieved with you and the horses in just one short day.
So, it is fair to say I am blown away by what was achieved at Ballygraffen the other day. I continue to feel more alive, encouraged, positive and optimistic than before I arrived as I recall the memory of the day and it is a great feeling!
Thank you June… if your work affects others in the way it has affected me, please be assured that you are doing an amazing work for people.
You did very good work today. Congratulations! What we did today will be very constructive for our next steps.
Learned that I am a leader and realised the tools I need to develop to be respected as one.
Learning about myself, my characteristics and conveying them through a horse is genius! Great to be away from the run-of-the-mill boardroom courses.
Easily the best course I have been on. It felt very natural working through the tasks, even though it wasn’t in my comfort zone.
June, you are truly inspirational and the outcomes you achieve are fantastic.
Very perceptive, engaging, encouraging and energising.
Never Experienced a course like it. I arrived stressed and left motivated and appreciating my leadership skills.
Thank you for your kind words and also for your insights. As an organisation, we can look inwardly so much that it is good to have an external perspective and it is interesting that you picked up that those in Patrick’s session felt well supported and privileged. Also, we tend to be hard on ourselves as an organisation, so lovely that you felt there was a positive energy which was unusual for such a large organisation.
I have completely reassessed how I approach my team and how I manage myself. No more micro-managing!
Thanks to June for a super experience and for shining a light on our individual leadership qualities.
Fantastic learning experience, will not be easily forgotten and do practical. Hope we can be real ambassadors for you and team.
It has had a profound effect on me believe it or not. Absolutely Positive
You put me on the spot several times, knowing instinctively, that I could and would eventually realize the objectives that you needed for me to realize for myself.
You “pulled me up” several times when my need for order and control and structure got in the way of the objectives I needed to learn. Thank you for that.
You gauged what made me tick, and “bantered” with me, is a way that encouraged me to try harder. Full marks for reading the signs so well. I enjoyed the crack with you, which made the whole experience so memorable.
