Emerging Leaders Leadership Development Course
Team Learning to Lead for the First Time
Being given a leadership role is exciting — especially when it means stepping into a wider leadership team — but it can also feel overwhelming if you’ve never had the chance to truly experience what leadership means.
This course is designed for emerging leaders, who are stepping into leadership roles for the first time. You’ll begin by exploring yourself as a leader — discovering your strengths, values, and leadership style. From there, you’ll learn how to contribute effectively within a leadership team, building trust, communication, and shared purpose. Through experiential learning, you’ll develop the confidence and capability to lead with authenticity, alignment, and impact.
Horses don’t judge your position, popularity, or posts. They respond only to who you are in the moment — your presence, your clarity, and your ability to build trust.

“The experiential leadership development program gave me a visual and practical example of leadership concepts that are usually just explained or imagined. This made it so much easier to understand and apply them in real-life leadership scenarios. The team created such a comfortable environment where we could learn openly, admit to mistakes, share our realisations, and still enjoy the day. Most importantly, it allowed us to really connect as a leadership team – learning how to understand each other’s needs, support one another, and respond in ways that make us stronger together.
