Leadership Workshop Series: Equine Leadership Lessons

Leadership Workshops are a set of free experiential learning opportunities. Workshops are targeted towards specific leadership development competencies and range from a half to a full day experience.

In partnership with WorkHorse Team Building, students will understand the feedback they receive from from interacting with horses and learn to translate their awareness into action. Horses are large, expressive, and sensitive creatures that offer unique opportunities for experiential learning. The horses’ behavior challenges teams to reflect upon their own attitudes, emotions, body language, and boundaries, and highlight any incongruences that might exist. This nonjudgmental feedback from the horses provides an opening for individuals and teams to begin to experience themselves differently.

There is no horseback riding in this workshop.  Students will interact with horses in an enclosed arena to accomplish team tasks. This workshop is free to all Wharton undergraduate students.  Transportation, meals and instruction is included.
