Spiegelbild (= German for mirror image; it can also be translated as reflection, and we interpret it as self-awareness) uses equine-assisted coaching sessions strategically embedded with private, couple and team coaching sessions. No horse back riding is involved and no previous horse experience is required. Spiegelbild's programs are a unique, innovative and experiential approach to personal and leadership development. Humans are paired with a horse partner and are coached through several activities. What shows up in the horse/human relationship is highly relevant and directly transferable to human/human interactions. Discoveries made during the equine-assisted coaching sessions are deepened during subsequent, traditional private, couple or team coaching sessions. Why horses? To survive in the wild, horses depend on a fine-tuned awareness of their environment. Horses possess a unique sensitivity for the energy, emotions and intentions of other beings around them (including humans). This makes them talented teachers. Horses are entirely unbiased towards a person's level of education, age, gender, rank or cultural background. Spiegelbild seeks to support the next generation of leaders by building leadership skills and competence - especially through embracing empathy in leadership. We also offer support for individuals, couples and teams who find themselves at a crossroads in their life or career, or are seeking to explore a new chapter in their life.
