High Performing Organizations Part 2

Many corporations believe in doing some form of team building. However, many employees that have been say that for the most part the experience falls into one of two categories: lectures and trust exercises, such as ropes courses. Lectures usually focus on effectiveness, effectiveness based on your leadership style, personality style, etc. Ropes and wilderness outings focus on trust. But, as stated in The Heart of the Transformational Coaching Process bonding, or cohesiveness is just as important as being effective. The Corporate Development programs designed at Pillar Ranch address both of these foundational issues at once. Because of its experiential nature, it is possible for personal hindrances to show up that affect the workplace. Once the team sees what is being observed during the team building, it is able to be discussed, then lasting changes can occur that allow for that team to be effective and cohesive. That is what every organization wants to accomplish high performance.

I thought today I'd describe the difference between Equine Assisted Learning and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy since Pillar Ranch offers both. Equine Assisted Learning, or EAL, is designed to help individuals become aware of their habits, personality styles, and choices and how those factors influence and affect others. EAL works for groups, individuals, and families. EAL is effectively used in groups that work together, such as families or teams in a corporate setting. Pillar Ranch has designed workshops for the board of local chambers, sales teams, and youth groups.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, or EAP, is designed to process behaviors that come out presently as a result of past experiences. Some of those experiences can be from sexual abuse, divorce, loss, family separations, and other traumatic experiences. Our past determines how we react to things in the present. Most EAP sessions are done with individuals and families. Sometimes groups of like populations are coordinated.
Each type of session serves its purpose. Most clients have found their sessions effective, enlightening, and the start of lasting change. However, most of us have several issues we want to work on; therefore, four to eight sessions are usually desired. This allows time to become greatly aware of habits and behaviors that are hindering either our personal or professional growth.
