At ATB Financial we recognize to have lasting relationships with customers we need to have strong relationships with each other. That means stepping outside our comfort zone and having those difficult conversations. Nancy Lowery and her team at The Natural Leader were integral to our ATBMasterful Leadership Conversation Program from the start. Stepping into the arena truly put many of us outside our comfort zone. Through the interactions with a horse, Nancy and her team coached every participant to an outcome so they truly experienced the impact their leadership presence has on every conversation. The horse day complemented the online and classroom content perfectly and brought to life the emotions and the interactions that can’t be created in a classroom setting.

As someone who has been teaching leadership courses for years I am still fascinated how the most simple situation can turn into our most impactful learnings... I was trying to get my horse to complete a task without thinking about the outcome was and whether the goal I had set for myself was feasible, valuable or worthwhile. This became my huge ah ha moment back in the office.

The feedback on the individual and team day has been exceptional. Many think it is the best team building/learning event we have ever had! Very powerful! Thank you so much for an incredible experience! I will be in touch.

In the aspect of conversations and leadership, through The Natural Leader, Nancy Lowery displays incredible clarity on how we as leaders show up within a relationship. Her ability to make this connection through horsemanship is clear, profound and immediate.
