Discover the Energy of Emotional Intelligence
with the Complicity of Horses
Internship hosted by Florence Van Thiel in Périgord Vert
Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 April 2018

"Emotional intelligence is one of the skills that horses teach us through attention demands.

Why ? Because emotions are expressed first by non-verbal language. The mind does its work when the emotion is already installed.

How do horses help us? They are relational beings - like us - and emotional intelligence comes first and foremost by the way we respond to the demands of attention of people around us in the broad sense.

To succeed professionally nowadays we must excel in communication to adapt, motivate, collaborate in a rapidly changing world. This requires a quick connection, an understanding of nonverbal language and reading the other.

Learning to connect the attention with a horse while keeping a firm and gentle attitude to get him to follow us can save a situation entangled in a hierarchical organization chart that has forgotten the essence of the human being.

What happens to people who do not have this speed of connection professionally?

The same as what happens in a family or a couple! Whether it is a single individual or an entire department, the result is to feel alienated, sometimes isolated from an important source of information or power, or to go to war outright against someone or another department.

The inability to connect can ruin a professional career, it can reach your ability to create friendships. This can weaken your family relationships and can lead to divorce.

Logging in is not magic. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced and mastered.

And that at any time.

And it improves the quality of our life at any stage.

The demands for attention are crossed looks, lashes, forward body movements, upper body, high or low postures. If we are not constantly aware of it, the horses decode us acutely.

Because they send us an immediate feedback in the change of a single incoherence they teach us to understand what we implement in listening to others and ourselves. Improving our relational capacity can significantly improve our professional or private lives because communicating goes well beyond verbal language and has been since the beginning of time! "
