Leadership presence, somatic coaching, and equine-facilitated learning come together in this episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast. Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave talk with Wencke Meteling, a leadership coach and former academic historian who integrates horses into her coaching practice to help entrepreneurs and executives develop self-awareness and authentic presence.
Wencke explains how horses sense misalignment between head, heart, and gut, and why they stop responding when those three systems are not working together. She shares a powerful example of a client who realised she had been walking backwards her whole career, making room for everyone else until a horse made that pattern impossible to ignore.
The conversation also covers the lead rope team exercise, how herd dynamics mirror workplace leadership, and the concept of leading from behind.
