Outdoor Activities
Taking classroom learnings to the outdoors and into nature is a key part of our approach to leadership and team development. We believe that it enhances the classroom leadership theory by enabling individuals to experience leadership in a different way, and through practical application. This leads to a greater and lasting growth experience and, crucially we have lots of fun along the way.
For all of our team workshops, we seek to incorporate an element of outdoor activity whenever we can.

Why Horses?
Clients are always intrigued to hear how horses can enhance their practical leadership learning. When working with horses, we regularly partner with our Associate, Rosie Tomkins at N-Stinctive, an incredible leader who specialises in working with horses and has a unique way of enabling the practical application of classroom theory in the paddock.
Here are 8 powerful aspects that horses bring to practical leadership development:
- They are non-judgemental
- They show congruent leadership
- They are amplified systems of non-verbal communication.
- They show us the intense value between commitment & real intention
- Take us out of the normal way of working
- They live in the present.
- They respond to the environment first & then the mind takes over
- They act as a powerful mirror and provide us with an honest conversation
Gain Incredible Insights
Beyond the classroom, our work with partner Rosie Tomkins at N-Stinctive takes us into the arena with the horses, where leaders gain incredible insights by putting leadership into practice. Paula, founder of Escentia, and Rosie have been dear friends for many years and have built a strong business partnership, based on common values and beliefs. Here more in the video >>
