Title: Teaming with Horses Helps Develop More Engaging, Inspiring Leaders
Join us for a unique and insightful leadership development experience led by Paula J. Del Giudice, Executive Director at the Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center. This session explores the powerful connection between human leadership and equine behavior, showing how horses — as natural mirrors and feedback providers — can help us become more self-aware, empathetic, and effective leaders.
In this session, Paula will share how horse-assisted leadership training reveals unconscious behaviors, strengthens communication, and fosters trust — all without saying a word. Through real-world examples from her work at Little Bit and her own leadership journey, Paula will illustrate how partnering with horses has transformed the way individuals show up as leaders in their teams and organizations.
Whether you're an executive, HR professional, or people manager, this workshop will offer fresh insights into building authentic connections and creating better work environments.
