Sometimes you need to walk a different path to see what’s in front of you. Sometimes you need to convince a 1600 pound animal to listen to you. But those to experiences together and you have the simplicity of equine training. It’s frustrating and joyous – a very long session that ends with a new way of communicating. If you manage people, it’s training you won’t anywhere else. Not in a book – or in an office. Wear comfortable shoes, you’ll need them. And bring some carrots.

The Equine Assisted Learning Program of MPowerMentor is a very well-rounded approach to emotional fitness. I found many areas for improvement, but best of all, I found the truth. Truth of where I am and where I want to be. I immediately experienced tremendous improvements in communication, leadership, focus, power, trust and confidence. It is a great support in realizing my courage and abilities to achieve my desired results in any area of my life. I am excited to continue the program exercises and enhance my personal growth.

"Truthfully, the idea of stepping into the ring with a 1200-pound animal with the goal of securing its cooperation was daunting, even though my career as a senior executive recruiter had put me in some pretty challenging situations. It didn't help that I had only been on horseback once in my life!
The experience was tremendous! Connecting with and securing the trust and following of these amazing creatures was a giant learning experience. My usual arsenal of logic, rational argument, cajoling, and charm proved fruitless. Instead, I had to learn how to achieve inner calm and tap into my power within.
I've applied the lessons several times since, in both my professional and personal life. My business is all about identifying and developing leaders. This program helped me become a much better leader myself."

“Working with Michelle and the horses as part of an Empowerment Training program was one of the most thrilling and experiences that I have ever had. Being in a ring, one-on-one with a gorgeous, but giant and powerful horse was certainly humbling and intimidating. But, with Michelle’s guidance and leadership techniques, I was able to connect and communicate with the horse and direct his actions until we were both in synch and working in concert with one another. Those lessons transcended the ring and into my everyday life. It taught me so much about my own fears and professional trepidations. It was truly humbling and empowering at the same time. I cannot wait to do this again!”
