Leading with Presence:
What Horses Teach Us

Horses, with their powerful hearts and extraordinary sensitivity, offer a masterclass in leadership. As prey animals, they have evolved to conserve energy, moving only when necessary and responding with precision to the energy around them. They teach us to lead with clarity, intention, and presence—because in their world, wasted energy is a risk, and alignment is everything.
