It’s familiar to everyone that this pandemic is changing the way we function in our day to day lives. Including how we communicate.

As PEI moves to reopen some smaller businesses we will be interacting more and more while wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing - limiting our ability to read facial cues and expressions, as well as our ability to express ourselves with our co-workers or clientele.

HJC invites you to participate in our “Communication in the time of Covid-19” sessions to explore some of the communication challenges we will be facing in the coming months and practice skills with the herd which can help you be more effective in reading, receiving and delivering non-verbal cues.

Horses are masters of non-verbal communication and working with them is an excellent gauge of your own effectiveness. Ellen will guide you through your interaction with the herd raising your awareness of your impact on those around you and increasing your fluency in body language.

Individual sessions can be booked as of May 8th. Pandemic Pricing: $50 + HST per 90 minute session.

Small group sessions (for management teams etc) can be booked starting May 22nd. Maximum of 4 participants at this time. Pandemic Pricing: $40 + HST per person - session length 2.5 hours.

MAY 9th, 2020 - HJC Sessional: Body Language - what are you really saying?

Welcome to an HJC pilot sessional exploring your use of body language and the effectiveness therein.

Body language is increasingly emerging as a key "soft skill" in professional arenas. It's been determined that our use of personal space, physical gestures, posture, facial expressions, and eye contact can enhance, support, weaken, or even sabotage impact. But what exactly are we saying and why would learning about horsemanship help?
