Lead Without a Rope

1. Lead Without a Rope Becoming a leader others want to follow Presented by Ivy Meadors High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc. www.hthts.com High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

2. Lead Without a Rope So many of the problems that horses have are the direct result of being confused by riders who are confused themselves. The horse cannot know what is expected of him unless, and until, the rider understands how the horse needs to have information presented to him so he understands what he is expected to do. People willingly follow a leader if they have a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished and are offered the opportunity to perform without pressure. Hear proven strategies for achieving leadership skills that will motivate and inspire people to follow using the element of “feel”. Relate with others at a different level by hearing the unspoken word, and understanding the unwritten messages being shared. In this session you will learn to think of leadership from a different viewpoint. True leadership can be administered through feel by connecting to people at an uncommon communication level. Ivy’s goal is for your own personal advancement in the leadership role, using leadership techniques that will result in deep connections. Those in attendance will receive a handout of resources on leadership topics. 1. Identify essential elements of an extraordinary leader 2. Emphasize proven leadership techniques 3. Show how to communicate at a deeper level 4. Define the points of risk for failure to lead effectively 5. Discuss how to lead using “feel” High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

"We are moving into the Valley of the Shadow of Death where you will watch the back of the man next to you, as he will watch yours, and you won't care what color he is, or by what name he calls God. We are going into battle against a tough and determined enemy. I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear... when we go into battle, I will be the first to step on the field and I will be the last to step off. And I will leave no one behind... dead or alive. We will all come home together." --We Were Soldiers High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

6. Horse Whispering Explained 'Horse whispering' is a misleading term in that, contrary to popular belief, horses don't speak any human language (that we're aware of) and so whether you shout or whisper, there's not much chance you're going to get the response you were hoping for. The response comes from the connection you have with your horse using body language and touch. Traditional methods of command and control are not useful, as there are no bridles, ropes or harnesses.  Historically, 'horse whisperers' were thought to have magical powers that calmed a frightened or wild horse.  Today we know that it is not magic, but method.  The popular movie, The Horse Whisperer, has increased people's awareness of the possibilities of horsemanship from the heart. Communication is the key.  Not communicating as we know it, but rather as the horse understands it.  Speaking the language of the horse involves looking into the eye of the horse and building a relationship based on trust. http://www.tomorrowtoday.biz/horsewhisper/#Books High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

9. Don't Take Anything Personally • Care less about what others think of you, care more about what others think of themselves, including their relationships with you. --Stephen R. Covey • Nothing others do is because of you. Actually a projection of their own reality. • Victim of needless worry – frees you to take your own direction. • Very easy to be discouraged by the comments or actions of other people. • Other people's words or deeds can influence our view of ourselves and directly affect our ability to succeed in our own way. • Extracted from The Four Agreements: a Practical Guide to Freedom, • and Daily Reflections for Highly Successful People by Stephen R. Covey. High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

10. ‘Hear’ the unspoken word Be alert and aware of body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, the messages in their eyes. Hear the actual physical sounds around you. Feel the energy from the other person and the area around them. High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

12. American dream The term was first used by James Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: "The American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of material things, but a dream in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain that which they are innately capable of, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpedu/lessons/97/dream/thedream.html High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

16. What was Shackleton’s dream? Leadership is taking people to a place that they would not normally go to on their own and willingly follow. -unknown High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

17. Shackleton earned the respect of these men, not to mention the respect of millions today, by being a leader who put his men's well-being, both mental and physical, above all else. Ad: “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.” High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

18. Shackleton ignored the predominant class system of the time and had scientists scrubbing floors alongside seaman and university professors eating beside Yorkshire fisherman. In addition, Shackleton encouraged more than work-based camaraderie. The men played football on the ice, participated in nightly sing-alongs and toasts to loved ones back home, organized highly competitive dog-sled races—and even collectively shaved their heads, posing for expedition photographer Frank Hurley.

Coach Jones' mentorship inspired his teams and eventually the entire town. 40 years later the relationship continues. --Radio Recognize and Build on Strengths • Identify growth potential • See the best in yourself and others • Develop your strengths • Align yourself with the ‘right’ job • Get a mentor, be a mentor High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com

What’s it like to work with me? How effectively do I communicate? Do I have goals and aspirations? Does my enthusiasm and direction in my life positively impact those around me? (i.e. dreams,goals, etc.) Would you work for you? High Tech High Touch Solutions, Inc.™ www.hthts.com
