Why are we working with horses?
Horses exhibit exceptional emotional agility – no matter what happens – they will teach you resilience
Horses use emotions as information – a skill that will make every leader an exceptional leader
Horses will show you how to tune into your instinct and intuition – your 21st-century superpower
Horses will give you the opportunity to practice leadership curiosity, courage, and connection through non-verbal communication
So, by now you know, this isn’t your conventional workshop. Your sciatica won’t kick in because you won’t be sitting in a conference room learning how to be a leader through exhausting PowerPoint slides and pyramid models. Yes, we created the workshop that we wanted when we were maxed out and overwhelmed in our corporate jobs.
But, more importantly, we created the workshop that’ll stick because you’ve gotta get out beyond the norm so that you can think, and more importantly, DO beyond the norm. Here’s your chance to get out of the building and get into innovation and IMPACT!
We’re keeping this workshop small for guaranteed high impact, only 12 geniuses allowed.
This workshop is for vice presidents, directors, senior managers, and managers who are tired of the corporate dance…endless conference calls, dog and pony shows, and directionless spinning. You want to get to it. You want to make a difference. You want to transform ideas into impact and drive consistent, exponential growth, at speed.

We’ll gather at the Ranch at 2pm and kick off the retreat with the key to life: Mindset
Settling In: Introductions, What to Expect, Goals for the Weekend (all the normal stuff)
Letting Go & Opening Up: We’ve got an extraordinary exercise planned that’ll get the group in the optimal state to absorb the learning. Not only will you prime your mind for a revolutionary new way of leading, you’ll take this exercise back to your teams to help them do the same.

To the tune of more than $1 billion in revenue-generating projects. And counting.
It’s those kinds of results that have made Melissa an internationally acclaimed expert, happy to share the not-so-secret behind her success. It’s called Smart Speed™, a unique process that focuses on intrapreneurship — taking advantage of the innovation-driving resources hiding within organizations of any size: the people.

Amy L. Buck
Leadership Performance Coach - Equine Guided Coach
Amy inhaled Silicon Valley tech for 20+ years focusing mostly on delivering talent strategies across the employee life-cycle, from hiring to leadership development. She’s been in start-up’s, Fortune 100 organizations and everything in between. She’s led award winning teams with her work chronicled in the Wall Street Journal, Le Monde, Time, Business Week, and Moneyland and she’s been a keynote speaker at various conferences. In full transparency, she was often known as the HR leader that HR hated – as she was always striving for relevant analytics, agile decision making and results, within an org that didn’t really want to know much about those things.
Now, her business partners are horses and she’s running an action-based leadership and development center at her 115-acre ranch in Northern CA. She’s a certified coach and equine guided facilitator. And, she’s still focused on results.
