It was with great pride that I joined Sandra Henke and Will Tasho of Hays plc at St James's Palace on 23 November, where they received the Princess Royal Training Award, for the Hays International Leadership and Management Programme (ILMP). Sincere congratulations to Will and Sandra, and also to everyone supporting them on the delivery of this flagship programme - including Mission Performance , Inspirational Development Group and Mind Gym. This 8-day long blended component of the programme, led throughout by Will Tasho and our own Justin Featherstone, relies on the contribution of many to deliver the outstanding results worthy of this royal standard in training.
The Assessors of the PRTA were looking for very clear quantitative evidence that the programme has made a significant contribution to the success of the business. They found what they were looking for in the Hays submission. As a contributor, what is much more precious to me than the data and the numbers is what we witness as we work with the ILMP groups during the emotional journey that this programme offers them. Safety is created from Day 1, as well as a spacious yet rigorous reflective practise, so that when the groups arrive with Equest for Day 4 and Day 5, they are ready to embrace the vulnerability which working mindfully with horses invites. In this most subtle, profound and non-judgemental of learning environments, where we listen to and are guided by the interactions with the herd, minds and hearts can open to a new way of leading, a new way of being. Permission is given throughout the programme to delegates to simply 'BE', to tend to themselves, to look inward as well as reach outward. The Hays International Leadership and Management Programme has at its foundation an invitation to its leaders to balance the commercial drive for results with leading their people with compassion and kindness. It is an honour to work on the ILMP and reassuring that a programme with such values can both evidence real transformation within the business and be recognised for it at such a high level.

COMPASSIONATE LEADERSHIP
An insight into embodied horse-led leadership development Friday 10 May 2024 - 10.00am - 14.00pm, Suddene Park Farm, Burbage, Wiltshire.
If you answer ‘Yes’ to any or all of the above questions, we would be delighted to welcome you at our beautiful base, Suddene Park Farm, in Burbage Wiltshire on Friday 10 May from 10.00 - 2.00. Equest has been designing and delivering embodied horse-led leadership and team development solutions since 2011. We have worked with national and global organisations of all shapes and sizes. Usually we deliver two day programmes in aspects of leadership relating to authenticity, compassion, relationship, presence and mindful awareness. We also work with senior teams who want to be more effective, more human and more honest with each other. As part of the Compassionate Learning insight event, we will share information about the different kind of interventions we offer as well as the principles of our embodied horse-led approach. You will learn about both the science and the mystery of how horses can help us to attune to our innermost self and move beyond the limits we place on ourselves. There will be the opportunity to meet some of our world-class facilitation team, as well as, of course to share some precious time with the herd. If you would like to request a place on the event please email Pam Billinge on [email protected]. Light refreshments and lunch will be provided by our magnificent caterer Rachel. Attendance at the day to cover catering costs - £50 per person. Places limited so please book your place early to avoid disappointment. If you are interested in finding out more about our work and are unable to join us on the 10 May, please also feel free to ask for a call with Pam or one of our team. |
