“Team cooperation in the human herd works best if it is framed around simple, natural core principles that everybody understands. Healthy leadership and team spirit are already inside us. By activating it we break through limiting patterns.”
~ Josselien Janssens ~ Trainer-Coach, Leadership Development & Teambuilding ~ Rayamedicine Training & Coaching
Together with my network of international training, coaching, HR and organisational experts, I provide interventions and advisory support tailored to your needs.
In our leadership and team trainings, the natural herd behaviour of horses provides both inspiration as well as a nonprejudiced mirror. Horses show us the secret of nonverbal communication: the factor that determines how effective we are in connecting and communicating as leaders, within our teams and with our customers.
These powerful principles transcend language and cultural barriers. This is evidenced by the reactions of this group of Taiwanese government officals I co-trained with my Belgian colleagues of Kheiron CVBA near Brussels:

Rayamedicine: “great remedy”
“Medicine” is the Native American term for “remedy” in the widest sense: not just a pill to cure disease, but also advice or insight gained at the right time. |
subconscious patterns and nonverbal communication
The natural herd behaviour of horses provides a clear, unprejudiced picture of the subconscious factors that determine the flow of human leadership and teamwork.
In safe ground exercises with horses we learn to apply five roles for leadership that everybody in the human herd is able to understand, as they are as much part of human natural behaviour as of that of animals.
There is no horse riding in these sessions. Prior horse experience is not required.
