  • Allowing ourselves to be open to change means we have to be willing to let go of what if, and invest ourselves in what is. Drawing on decades of teaching leadership through horsemanship, Nancy Lowery shows us that when we take the time to listen and be truly present in our relationships, we develop deeper and richer connections with others.
    Nancy Lowery helps individuals and organizations define their leadership power through horsemanship activities - one relationship at a time. In 2004, Nancy launched an alternative to classroom leadership learning through horsemanship with The Natural Leader - experiential programs which explore leadership, team dynamics, feedback and communication through purposeful activities with horses.
    From a young age, Nancy always knew she wanted to work with horses - and has pursued endeavours in education and the arts through blogging, sketching and compiling a series of workbooks on learning with horses.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Being calm and attentive is a common denominator in de-escalating situations. Good Talk Nancy.

    Well done Nancy. Schwung is a life long pursuit, thanks for sharing the wisdom of your lovely horses.

    Ahh. Being present for someone else. A big life lesson for us all. Beautiful talk. I truly resonated with it.

      If you are one who needs to feel acknowledged then sure. But that is weakness.
      It's like, a how-to for how to get along with slow minded derp tards, eh?

    All you horse lovers watching this should watch Stormy May's documentary The Path of the Horse. It's free on CZcams and has changed my life profoundly. It has deepened my ability to understand horses and myself and gave me the ability to go deeper into relationships with horses than I have ever gone. I've been around horses all my life and wild ones most recently. I could not have gone where I have gone with horses without seeing this film.

    First love the skirt! Second horses are great and seem to have an ability to understand when we are friendly and when we aren't

    "English", you're right about the science. If she'd stuck to that, I wouldn't have been turned off

    I am not familiar with dressage. This word she uses sound like swoan or swang i don't know. I wanted to read more about it, but without the right pronounciation I can't do it. Please help

    • @emevans8793
      @emevans8793 Před 8 lety +1

      "Schwung" is the proper spelling, hope that helps! :)

    • @curryqueen
      @curryqueen Před 8 lety

      Yes, it's "Schwung" and you actually pronounce the U like in "you". It's German and you can roughly translate it with momentum or impetus.

    I have a pet turtle, and I swear he (maybe she) feels no connection to me.

      Ok I was talking about horses .... I know nothing about Turtles but good luck with it!

      Turtles are so different from us in their neurological make-up. We connect well with mammals, because of our similar neurology; with few exceptions, mammals developed as social creatures, and needed to have connection to manage relationships.

      Actually, this is based on scientific research done at universities. Read the book, 'The As If Principle'.
      Mirror neurons are involved. This is called mirroring, matching, emotional contagion. Example, if you yawn, the other person yawns. Laughter is contagious. When people are sad they are called downers and they cause other people to be sad as well. People say, don't cry! You'll make me cry too! Your emotional state can be transferred. Weird, huh?

      wow that's something I've never been called before - Dressage is simply a metaphor and the practice is 100s of years old. I look forward to hearing your TED Talk
