Episode 022: Renee Sievert
Leaders and Horses: How a Day on the Ranch Can Transform Your Leadership
with Renee Sievert, Executive Coach, Equus Coach, and Equus Facilitator
Leader friends, I am beyond excited to welcome Renee Sievert to The Everyday Leader Podcast!
As part of the amazing work that I am committed to do more and more of in the years to come, I have been working closely with Renee to bring more leaders on to the ranch to work with horses.
Now, we call our events horse retreats for leaders because they are definitely experiential-based retreats that provide unique experiences that people grow from immediately. However, working with horses is nothing short of spectacular and I knew that no one could do a better job of explaining it then Renee.
She’s been working with horses for over 20 years in her work with leaders and she is a phenomenal facilitator who knows so much about the human spirit that you can’t help but be transformed after spending time with her.
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn all about Renee and what really happens on the ranch.
