Red Chair Team Development
Healthy, productive, and thriving teams are built on trust, mutual respect, clear communication, and a unified vision for their work. Red Chair curates team development experiences that create these outcomes.
We can include the Core Strengths or the EQi 2.0 inventory, onsite workshops at your workplace, and time spent at Red Chair Ranch working with our wise herd of equine coaches to deliver impactful results.
This spring, during a team day with ten leaders, it did not take long for individuals to drop their guard and for us to engage in meaningful dialogue. One leader asked what I had sprayed in the barn, as if an external factor was at play. Her manager, who had visited the Ranch the previous week, leaned towards her and said, “it’s the horses.”
She was right. There is nothing that compares to the powerful, unspoken awareness of oneself and others that happens with our equine coaches. Their presence alone creates a safe space for vulnerability required for true team development.

Board Chair, Non-Profit
As I reflect on my recent promotion, I do not believe that I would be where I am today had it not been for your coaching and guidance. In addition to our coaching calls, working with you and the horses, specifically Kiante, helped me better understand my interactions, the importance of knowing my boundaries, and setting clear intentions. It informed my choices and led me to where I am today. Thank you.
Principal Product Manager, Microsoft
The leadership retreat at Red Chair Ranch was truly transformative for our team, especially after enduring the challenges of the pandemic. The serene beauty of nature, the healing presence of horses, and the supportive atmosphere provided the perfect setting for us to reflect, heal, and grow, both individually and as a team. It was a profound experience that renewed our spirits and deepened our connection, empowering us to lead with renewed purpose and resilience.
