Victor-M. AMELA - 06/04/2010. I have 62 years. I was born in Cali (Colombia) and I live in Cabrera de Mar. I teach leadership courses with the help of horses. Our politicians are not leaders or themselves. I católico.Un horseback is a mirror.

Whisper you horses? That said, in the eighteenth century of one Sullivan: talking horses calmed ear ... Truth or lie? Horses have a hypersensitive ear: it is true that low voice tones and elongated them calm down.


Do you talk like that? Yes, but it is a comprehensive way of dealing with horses. I practice natural horsemanship.


What is? Establish a relationship with the horse that makes it unnecessary to force the horse follows me meekly.


How is it possible? It is quite natural: the horse wants a leader. And if you feel like a leader, is following.


How I can be a leader for a horse? It will not be the strongest but the most helpful: in a herd of horses, is a leader who sacrifices himself for others watching to crouch quietly to eat grass without worrying ...

My monitor and politicians do not blame me. Still do not understand that leadership is service.

The burning of Horta, the snow ... do not understand that must meet safety and effectiveness of the group. When looking for excuses, stop being leaders! You are not.

 

What attracts us the horses? We see in them strength, courage, nobility, elegance, power, trust, harmony, freedom: everything you would want for us!


Can I stick something if I go to one? First learn to get closer to a horse.

... Never front, never faster, never directly, never abrupt, never looking into his eyes.


Why? Dam of carnivores, the horse has the genetic impulse to flee, the fear has preserved its genes. So come closer gently tilted in slow shimmy, head bowed, humbly ... First lesson!


What? Humility! If you go with humility, the horse will take you immediately trust.


And then? If you transmit calmness and resolution, security, it will follow you: you will be their leader. Animal is a hierarchical, wants to feel calm, you need someone who trust! And here comes the second lesson for life in a group.


As much a post he held, if not suspect, have no authority: no computer. You will be a natural leader only if group members trust you.

Who comes to learn leadership?


Executives: contact with horses teaches them much about themselves, and so learn to correct and improve aspects ...

Tell a case.

I put a CEO in the middle of the arena, enclosed with a horse. The horse panicked, started to run like a madman, looking for a way out!


Why?


The hypersensitivity of the horse senses your inner spirit, your energy, your way of being: is your mirror! The horse caught the aggressive energy and so that person reacted.


What happened to the manager?


"Lower your head," I said. Lowered. The horse was frightened. "Make yourself small. Duck. Encógete ...", I was suggesting. The man ended up curled up on itself, in the center, and only then the horse was calmer.

What did you learn the guy?


"I spend half my time apologizing for my bad ways!" I recognized then that sweeping management.

"This morning I did mourn for my son," confessed sad. He was a very valid ... that caused emotional battering: a horse taught him to exercise empathy! A relaxing yoga practiced today, is doing very well.


Tell me otherwise.

Extremely refractory came a directive: "Neither I like animals and I liked them." He ended up hugging the horse's neck ...


What benefit will I get training? When you connect with the horse, you have to feel natural! It's so rewarding to get out of here very sure of yourself, with confidence and self esteem.

Who believes that a workshop would be more useful way?


A battered woman, an unemployed ... They are living the primitive terror of man: having lost your place, having been expelled from the clan. Thanks to the horses, by a route emotional, you find that hoard resources and regain position, power.



"We ended up with a case?



I came a small group of company (including a young intern foreign practices, to which nobody paid any attention), and the challenges I raise horses in the group - of the animal from point A to point B, for example, this girl almost invisible, with tact, capacity for analysis and resolution, eventually leading the team! Around the course, by the way, was hired.

Tell me another year with caballos.El horse follows you when you feel that you know where you're going. So, if you jump a bar, he will jump back. One day the bar was dropped, but a girl I jumped as if he were in place. And the horse behind her, jumped as if the bar was high! She therefore conveyed security, confidence, was a leader.

What three qualities should meet to be a good leader?

Clear vision of where you're going. Empathy. Ability to communicate
