Today, there is enormous pressure from investors demanding more for less. Post COVID organizations and teams of people are shattered, fragmented, and virtual. One of the most challenging agendas for leaders post COVID, is the ability to harness human potential, retain talent, ignite purpose and passion and understand the catalytic essential skills of champions in their organization. These are essential to creating a reputation, a brand, a promise, and a psychologically safe area for people to innovate, learn, thrive and excel.

HEAL™ and our four module program is designed and adapted to create catalytic learning in a modern world, using the laws of nature and unleashing what is naturally within all of us. We do this by learning biomimicry, and natural laws. HEAL™ is a disruptive learning journey. It creates opportunities for small teams to forge mastery of situations for themselves, by building unprecedented levels of trust and vulnerability, so that the team formulates better ways of coping in a very agile and dynamic way. This is no longer about survival of the fittest. It is about small teams collaborating with essential skills so that they can thrive, master and create a Catalytic Champion Program and enhance a winning culture in their organizations. We see this in sporting teams, business teams and organizations with any aligned purpose.

Module One – Being present for my own learning

Horses are prey animals who, for their survival, are hard-wired to watch and read body language and pick up what we call “the invisible curriculum”. Relationship is the most important thing for horses, so they seek authenticity and the trust that flows from it. Horses in a learning environment create a mirror for people to dig deeper into what most people have learned to camouflage. We often, even unconsciously, hide our emotions, feelings, very often not even trusting our own leadership. Often we do not fully understand why we create distress in organizations, and inadvertently sabotage great cultural programs.

Module One focuses on emotional self mastery. When we work with horses, we delve into looking at our authenticity, vulnerability, and how we defensively fight our fears. Guided by the non judgemental mirror response from a horse, we learn to master ourselves in a very intense and heightened learning space in nature. We learn to diagnose sensations that cue our emotions and discover why we react in certain ways . This immersive learning experience is highly dynamic and very fast.  Our delegates over the years have said it is the best leadership experience program they have ever had.

Module Two – Learning and unlearning together

We take a deep dive into how we operate, as a team, a theatre cast or an organization.

We learn tools which equip us to quickly diagnose and discover why we react in counter productive ways in certain situations. We explore unlearning our knee jerk toxic reactions to our own and other people’s difficult and uncomfortable emotions that stall productivity and disrupt team trust. We relearn ways of interacting with others, by using our new tools and so responding with curiosity instead of judgement to our emotions and feelings, so that we begin mastering them, in the process becoming authentic and truthful. These qualities create a team with enormous psychological safety.

Module Three – Getting better never stops

Here we explore leadership in five core leadership styles, emulating herd, consensual leadership. We also look at the roles we need ;“Teamship”and followership in Agile teams and aligned teams and how to operate in virtual teams. This is highly innovative and creates a high level of trust for learning. Teams going through this module have realized that the future disruption of innovation is heightened by the ability to understand our individual leadership style and preference, improve it and strengthen our skill in executing the other four leadership styles by understanding the enlightened and the shadow aspects of the different leadership styles.

Module Four – Catalytic champions for our Organization

Finally, we move to module four, which is around psychological safety. This is where we pull all of our learnings together and align into movement and action on how our teams can be catalytic champions in the organization. To create impact, return on investment and to drive organizations into what it takes to win and how we need to create a winning zone in our organization to up the tempo and be far more competitive for return on investment.
