"This workshop, in the form of pedestrian rally with the horses, enabled us to fulfill our expectations [...] an employee survey with a satisfaction rate of 94.4% and comments collected throughout the day show how much this was a success".

Anne-Marie Hubert, FCA Associated

Ernst & Young s.r.l./S.E.N.C.R.L.

"A constant corporate challenge is to bond people having different personalities and to align them around common objectives. Through the horses, The Chevauthier team knows how to illustrate the essential steps required to build and sustain motivation, team work and negotiation, so that the participants can seize the concepts and implement them in their work environment. The Chevauthier offers a very pleasant experience which is especially effective in improving communications in a work environment".

"Great team building activity, an excellent opportunity to challenge yourself and to learn why we communicate the way we do".

"To all members of The Chevauthier Team,
A huge thank you to all team members whether on 4 or 2 legs. We spent one marvelous day filled with your generous attentions towards us. Being a retailer and wholesaler, we enjoy everything that is related to communications. You have taken us into the nonverbal dimension which interests us greatly because of our client dealings. Several among us discovered through the world of horses, many familiar behaviors and/or moods linked with our customers, managers or colleagues: happy and attentive, intrigued, anxious, dissatisfied or spaced out (plein nirvana).

Your passion as a leader and as a team champion pleased us greatly for it resembled our own and we have come out of your workshop, being empowered, both as individuals and as a team".

Lise Brunette
Director, Financial Management
Public Works and
Government Services Canada

"I have attended several leadership courses in the last years in order to become director, and you are a great leader. I am a person who takes good care of my team, but when I learned how you selected your horses and your employees, that really impressed me. Not only the way you selected them, but your way of taking care and of keeping them happy in what they do with their life. Bravo! I think that several important leaders chould change their method and learn from you. We in the government have a high labor turnover rate and a shortage of qualified employees. One wonders how to make our employees happy and retain them. I think that we focus too much on priorities and greater productivity, to the detriment of our people who deserve greater considerations".

Stéphanie Menard
Information Officer/Agente de communication et vie associative
Caisse Desjardins de Saint-Hyacinthe

"I greatly appreciated this conference! Mrs. Diane Authier has an unusual way of defining and presenting communications.. By comparing human relations with horses, the similarities stand out well and are even better understood".

COMMUNICATION

Corporations and teams:

Louise Huot
Director, Contact Richelieu-Yamaska

"To Mrs. Authier and her team who accommodated us with such great warmth and generosity. The work of a service provider in the field of mental health exposes us to various types and situations of communication. The alternative communication taught by the horses is exceptional and unique; most of all because we have been able to observe it amongst our team members. If an image is worth a thousand words, surely, we had the equivalent of a whole book. I recommend this training program to all and bestow our greatest thanks to you once again ".

Lise Brunette
Director, Financial Management

Government Services Canada

"A short note to thank you all for this marvelous day spent at The Chevauthier. The discovery of your stable taught me enormously on the subject of horses and communication. In very little time, you showed us how to guide them and how to listen to them. You are so right to say, that in communication, it is so much more important to listen, than to speak. Our horse, Hollywood, was very kind, beautiful and had an incomparable sensitivity. All the horses had something special and you described them with so much respect and love. I learned in one day so much about horses and establishing contact with them, and this has done me so much good".

Individuals and groups:

Rejean Blanchette
Gest-Humain Group
Bousquet / Blanchette Dairy Farm

"A very interesting workshop, you presented to us diversified approaches on communication at work. As we are a group of agricultural producers with large herds of livestock (more than 100 head), communication within our team is an essential tool. We thank you. We greatly appreciated our day and we would have liked to prolong our discussions further. Congratulations"!

Janique Durand
Project Manager
La Mouvance, Womens’ Center

"We want to thank you for the quality and excellence of your Seminar. The participating women had only praises where you are concerned. Several participants may even go to your center in order to relive a beautiful experience. All the team thanks you infinitely".

"We are not so different from the horses! This parallel makes the analysis of the profiles of individuals more accessible to everybody and supports, at the same time, their understanding: each person is different and, in spite of that, each person has his or her place within an organization… in as far as it is at the right place!"
