Equine-Assisted and Strengths Coaching Sessions

I work with individual leaders and organisations across Australia to build clarity, confidence and grounded performance.

Coaching sessions draw on strengths-based practice, equine assisted learning and 18 years of global leadership experience — available virtually or in person in Daylesford, Victoria.

Strengths Coaching

Discover your edge

Strengths coaching is more than a development tool - it’s a transformative experience. Grounded in Gallup’s CliftonStrengths, these sessions help you uncover what makes you uniquely powerful: how you think, feel, and behave at your best.

Why strengths matter:
Gallup’s research shows that people who use their strengths daily are 6× more engaged and 3× more likely to report excellent wellbeing.

Offerings:

  • CliftonStrengths report debrief

  • 3‑month coaching series

  • 6‑month coaching series

Equine-Assisted Coaching

Insight that lands in the body, not just the mind

Working alongside horses offers immediate, honest feedback about how you lead, communicate, and show up. Horses respond to what is true — not what is performed — creating a powerful environment for awareness and change.

You can explore:

  • Presence and boundaries

  • Emotional regulation

  • Relational patterns

  • Leadership and communication

No horse experience required.

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” - Winston Churchill

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1:1 Coaching
    60-minute virtual session: $140
    90-minute in-person session (with horses): $190
    Corporate and executive rates available on enquiry.

  • Equine assisted coaching uses horses as partners in the coaching process. Horses are highly attuned to human emotion and respond to what is present, not what is performed. Working alongside them creates real-time feedback that accelerates self-awareness and behavioural change.

  • No experience is needed. Sessions are ground-based, meaning you work with horses from the ground, not on horseback. Michael guides you through each session at a pace that feels comfortable.

  • Virtual sessions run for 60 minutes over Zoom. In-person sessions run for 90 minutes at Boomerang Holiday Ranch in Daylesford and include time with the horses. Both formats begin with a brief check-in, move into focused coaching conversation and activity, and close with reflection and integration.

I’ve reflected many times since our sessions on my own strengths and the challenges associated with each strength. I’ve found I am applying them to my life both inside and outside of work. Since the 1:1 coaching, I have more self-awareness and am more structured in how I communicate with my colleagues, with an appreciation of their individual strengths.
