Recently I have been reading Take the Reins, a book by Shari Jaeger. It focuses on mindsets and skills that can be utilised to be a successful leader. The focus is specifically on mindsets for business leaders – how they can lead a team, close a sale and increase profits. The horse focus comes into practice by the way she leads individual and team workshops. And this got me thinking about horse business coaches.
How does it work with Shari? Often a person – or team of people – is asked to achieve a task with a horse moving free in an arena. They need to cause the horse to carry out a particular task without touching it.
As people carry out these workshops, they learn to better communicate with each other and to move with intention. This got me to thinking about horses businesses in general and how they could all benefit from coaching. What if there was one place you could go to as a horse business owner, to gain coaching in a number of areas? It could be a local organisation you could engage the use of to gain horse business coaches in varying areas.
Horse Business Coaches
These areas could depend on the expertise of the coach in question. It could be motivation, brain storming ideas, management of staff, increasing profits, managing finances or even simple accountability to follow through on planned tasks.
The people made available could provide sessions in person, via Skype, over the phone or even through email communication. The difference with those on offer to horse businesses is that they would know the equine industry and horse people. Perhaps they’ve worked in racing and marketing, or they own racehorses and have a financial qualification. Maybe they have performance horses or ride for pleasure.
Whatever it is, they have a skill they can coach in and a working knowledge of what horse people want. In this way, they will be better equipped to understand and aid horse businesses. What do you think?
