Are you leading from your head, disconnected from your intuition? What if the greatest leadership tool wasn't another framework, but a direct connection to your own authentic presence?

This week on The Reins of Leadership, we are joined by the remarkable Kelly Wendorf - founder of EQUUS, author of Flying Lead Change, and a guide who bridges the worlds of equine wisdom, neuroscience, and ancient Indigenous teachings.

In This Episode, You Will Discover:

• The Horse as the Ultimate Truth-Teller: How a horse’s reaction instantly reveals the incongruence between what you say and who you are, providing a powerful feedback loop for authentic leadership.
• Beyond the "Executive Presence" Façade: What true embodied leadership feels like in your body and how it commands respect and trust without a single word.
• Stories of Transformation: Hear firsthand accounts of the profound shifts leaders experience when they step out of the boardroom and into the arena with the EQUUS Experience®.
• Weaving Indigenous Wisdom into Your Work: How to move beyond hierarchy and burnout by applying ancient principles of reciprocity, community, and interconnectedness to modern teams.
• The Art of "Rewilding" Yourself: Tangible steps to shed rigid corporate conditioning, learn to trust your instincts, and lead with your whole, undivided self.
