MEET THE HERD

KELLY EIDE

Kelly Eide believes that you connect with your own true nature by connecting with nature. Kelly takes people out in to nature and shares the concepts of natural horsemanship and the core routines of nature awareness to help business leaders’ practice how they lead in their own unique way.  

Connecting to the paradigm of leadership in nature, Kelly shares a visceral experience of leadership combined with easy to use practices that you can implement in your life. For individuals, this leadership experience informs every relationship you have as well as your approach to communication and creative problem-solving. For groups, the experience helps to build a culture of trust as well as confident, agile teams where there is a leader in every chair.

Kelly’s leadership development work with horses has been featured on the BBC Middle East Business Report as well as Dubai One’s Studio One. As a photographer, Kelly’s images, and the stories behind them, have been featured in the book, Finding Your Way in A Wild New World by Dr. Martha Beck.

EQUUS COLLECTIVE - A GLOBAL HERD

The Equus Collective is a group of master equus coaching facilitators. As horses have taught us about healthy herd dynamics, we have gathered as a collaborative team to serve our communities across the U.S. and around the world. 

The members of the Equus Collective share a common lineage of training; in horsemanship and equus coaching by Koelle Simpson and in life coaching by Dr. Martha Beck. Each member of the Equus Collective brings their own unique and diverse backgrounds in business, organizational and leadership development, corporate and brand strategy, health and wellness, and therapy. 

For workshops and team retreats, there are usually two or more facilitators present to create a coaching experience that is supportive and effective. As individuals, we live across the U.S. and other countries and travel the globe for events, including Europe, South America, the Middle East, and East & Southern Africa.
