Lead the
Way
There is no other methodology that allows leaders to actually practice & Evolve their leadership skills-the horses give us immediate & judgment free feedback
Young Female Leadership Program
We work with Young/Junior Female Leaders over a period of either 3 or 6 months. Women can learn a lot when it comes to leadership from the alpha mare - trust, responsibility, social skills, being naturally feminine. They lead not by authority, but by their sheer presence and an inner sense of knowing what is right.
Transformational Leadership Training
Transformational leadership training emphasizes inspiring and motivating teams to achieve higher levels of performance. It helps leaders develop a vision, communicate it effectively, and create an environment where employees feel empowered and motivated to innovate and excel
Emotional Intelligence (EI) Leadership Training
Emotional intelligence training focuses on developing self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and interpersonal skills. Leaders with high EI can manage their emotions and understand others' feelings, leading to better relationships and more effective leadership.
The Impact
Dr. Fadil Citaku, PhD, Professor of Leadership and Owner of the Academy of Leadership Sciences in Zurich Switzerland about his experience on what we can learn from horses on actually DOING leadership and about the two main leadership factors EQ and IQ.
Michelle Olufeso, Financial & Accounting Expert, gives insights into how her life changed after spending 4 days with the horses in Nadia's training. The funny thing is, as a left-brain thinker Michelle does not do animals and much less emotions, so the experiences she had were beyond surprising to her.

How the Horse Coaching Works
Why Horse-Coaching is probably the only training that allows us to practice the embodiment of Leadership:
It does not matter what your title is… if you are a CEO, Manager, Entrepreneur, Coach, Teacher, Politicians, Leadership is a skill that all of us need in order to succeed in career, business, but also in life, and it is a skill that we are never done learning and developing further and further.
So why are horses one of the most effective training methods for Leadership?
The most important factor when it comes to leadership is the embodiment of leadership, yet it is without a doubt the most difficult to train, and usually takes years of trial and error, and training on the job. This is where the horses come in: they allow us to practice the embodiment of leadership and give us real time feedback. Meaning that once we master being and feeling an authentic leader they will show us that we are walking the talk. This is what makes this training not only one of a kind but also fast tracking the embodiment of leadership.
Horses can read our conscious and subconscious, they feel what you feel and they show it. This is not a woo-hoo experience, they provide powerful breakthroughs without failure. Every session or workshop with them is different and will reveal something different. Any characteristic of a powerful leader we can copy from the horses, adapt to ourselves to have a more powerful presence, confidence and leadership style.

What is the process of a Horse Coaching Session or Workshop?The majority of the workshops and coaching sessions we run, and in particular the individual sessions are all different. There is of course an overall structure or agenda to every session. But what happens in the sessions itself is never structured, but depends on what shows up in the process that we are going through. In general, we work partly with the horses and sometimes we do exercises and reflective work in-between without the horses. After the session (about 10-14 days later), there is always a quick follow up - either a meeting with all workshop participants on zoom, or a quick voice message on messenger. This is important in order to make sure, all coachees and participants are on track and feeling good.
-
What do I need to wear and what do I need to bring?We will be working outside with the horses, so you need to make sure that you have weather proof clothes. The workshop will take place even if the weather is not ideal, (so unless it is raining "cats and dogs"). You need to make sure that you wear appropriate shoes (no sandals allowed) like sneakers or good walking shoes. The clothes you bring can get dirty so we recommend to take something washable. We will provide you with drinks and some snacks, but we always recommend to bring a bottle of water for your trip home.
-
Will the workshop or my session still take place in bad weather?We always follow through with the workshops and 1-2-1 sessions even if the weather is not ideal. The weather plays an important role in the coaching and forms part of the coaching experience. The horses dont mind the bad weather at all, just us humans do ;). Conditions under which we do not coach: 1) SNOW 2) Under 12C temperature. 3) Storm & massive rain.
-
Do I need experience with horses in advance?You (and your team) don't need to have any experience with horses in advance. The horses can work with anyone. No matter if you are an experienced rider or have never been in touch with a horse.
-
What if I have fear of horses?We have worked with a lot of people that have had (different levels) of fear of horses. In our experience, EVERY single person that faced their fear of horses at our facilities, fell completely in love with the horses and had a massive breakthrough in their personal development journey.
-
In which languages do you provide the coaching?We mainly work in English, but we also work in German. For some languages we can co-facilitiate with other coaches if necessary, in particular in Belgium.
-
Where do the workshops take place?We offer workshops in Belgium, Vienna, Austria, Stockholm, Zurich, Munich, California & Dubai. To see more about our main Location and Partner Stables, check out Location Overview. https://nadiaboersch.com/horse-coaching#locations
-
Can I bring my dog?Unfortunately, we have had bad experiences with dogs on the side during our Workshops & Coachings. It presents a significant risk to both the dog and the horses. Additionally, our workshops and coaching sessions involve profound emotional work, and we've observed that having dogs on site can be distracting for both the participants and the horses, disrupting their experience and the process.
-
How much capacity do you have in one Team Building session?The ideal group size is about 8 people. But also bigger groups around 12–15 people are welcome. Under this condition, we are working with a second coach to provide the complete coaching experience.
-
What areas do you offer to work on with companies?We offer 4 types of coaching sessions. 1. Confident Leadership, We have a special program for young/junior female leaders 2. Impact on Stage and Speaking 3. Sales & Getting to YES 4. Team Building Workshops / High Performing Teams
-
Can I bring my kids?To the coffee and horses free events we of course welcome kids. In the workshops however we do deep emotional work and we have found that having children on site, distracts both the participants and the horses from the healing journey and process. If you want to bring your kids before or after the workshop to spend some cuddle time with the horses, you are more than welcome to do so.
-
Do you offer coaching sessions just about horsemanship?Yes we do. Horsemanship is a part of energetic work with horses. However we would recommend instead of individual work on horsemanship or energetic work with horses, that you tune into "The Horse-Frequency" Workshop - series.
-
Can I bring my own horse to participate in the Private Session?This will have to be discussed on an individual basis, usually Nadia prefers to work with Arabian Horses and/or her horses, and it is has certain benefits to work with horses that you do not know because they give you a non-biased view. When we work with horses that we have a close connection to, we may associate certain behaviours as "he always does this ..." he always does this when..." versus an objective mirroring behaviour that the horses always offer, but the participant may not be able to see.

Leadership Training:
“We started to find out what are the leadership techniques, the weaknesses, and strengths inside each one of us, and then we learned to encounter, to face them or to challenge them. To understand what are the areas we need to work on ourselves. I learned a lot about my own leadership style and also how to be a good follower. I had a lot of enlightening and breakthroughs during this workshop. I highly recommend this workshop for everybody who wants to grow and who wants to reach a higher level of character and personality in private and career."
