• Lead Without a Rope
•  
• So many of the problems that horses have are the
  direct result of being confused by riders who are
  confused themselves. The horse cannot know what
  is expected of him unless, and until, the rider
  understands how the horse needs to have
  information presented to him so he understands
  what he is expected to do.
•  
• People willingly follow a leader if they have a
  clear understanding of what needs to be
  accomplished and are offered the opportunity to
  perform without pressure. Hear proven strategies
  for achieving leadership skills that will
  motivate and inspire people to follow using the
  element of feel. Relate with others at a
  different level by hearing the unspoken word, and
  understanding the unwritten messages being
  shared.
•  
• In this session you will learn to think of
  leadership from a different viewpoint. True
  leadership can be administered through feel by
  connecting to people at an uncommon communication
  level. Ivys goal is for your own personal
  advancement in the leadership role, using
  leadership techniques that will result in deep
  connections.
•  
• Those in attendance will receive a handout of
  resources on leadership topics.
• 1. Identify essential elements of an
  extraordinary leader
• 2. Emphasize proven leadership techniques
• 3. Show how to communicate at a deeper level
• 4. Define the points of risk for failure to
  lead effectively
• 5. Discuss how to lead using feel

"We are moving into the Valley of the Shadow of
Death where you will watch the back of the man
next to you, as he will watch yours, and you
won't care what color he is, or by what name he
calls God. We are going into battle against a
tough and determined enemy. I can't promise you
that I will bring you all home alive. But this I
swear... when we go into battle, I will be the
first to step on the field and I will be the last
to step off. And I will leave no one behind...
dead or alive. We will all come home together."
--We Were Soldiers

Leadership from a different perspective

Horse Whispering Explained 'Horse whispering' is
a misleading term in that, contrary to popular
belief, horses don't speak any human language
(that we're aware of) and so whether you shout or
whisper, there's not much chance you're going to
get the response you were hoping for. The
response comes from the connection you have with
your horse using body language and
touch. Traditional methods of command and
control are not useful, as there are no bridles,
ropes or harnesses.  Historically, 'horse
whisperers' were thought to have magical powers
that calmed a frightened or wild horse.  Today
we know that it is not magic, but method.  The
popular movie, The Horse Whisperer, has increased
people's awareness of the possibilities of
horsemanship from the heart. Communication is
the key.  Not communicating as we know it, but
rather as the horse understands it.  Speaking the
language of the horse involves looking into the
eye of the horse and building a relationship
based on trust. http//www.tomorrowtoday.biz/hor

• Don't Take Anything Personally
• Care less about what others think of you, care
  more about what others think of themselves,
  including their relationships with you.
  --Stephen R. Covey
• Nothing others do is because of you. Actually a
  projection of their own reality.
• Victim of needless worry frees you to take your
  own direction.
• Very easy to be discouraged by the comments or
  actions of other people.
• Other people's words or deeds can influence our
  view of ourselves and directly affect our ability
  to succeed in our own way.
• Extracted from The Four Agreements a Practical
  Guide to Freedom,
• and Daily Reflections for Highly Successful
  People by Stephen R. Covey.

• Hear the unspoken word

Be alert and aware of body language, facial
expressions, tone of voice, the messages in their
eyes. Hear the actual physical sounds around
you. Feel the energy from the other person and
the area around them.

• All leaders are readers, but not all readers are
  leaders.

Read the unwritten message

American dream The term was first used by James
Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America
which was written in 1931. He states "The
American Dream is "that dream of a land in which
life should be better and richer and fuller for
everyone, with opportunity for each according to
ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream
to interpret adequately, and too many of us
ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it.
It is not a dream of material things, but a dream
in which each man and each woman shall be able to
attain that which they are innately capable of,
and be recognized by others for what they are,
regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of
birth or position." http//memory.loc.gov/ammem/
