Leadership seminars

Learning from wolves

Discover how good your management skills are. Huskies give honest feedback with no regard to hierarchy or personal interests.

What you’re letting yourself in for
The husky is closely related to the wolf. Like wolves, they have a strict social code of behaviour within the pack. Their friendliness to people makes them the ideal partner, with their highly-sensitive abilities of perception, to reflect our own behaviour.

How do their body signals, facial expressions and inner feelings affect others? Generally, their feedback is based on honesty, or it is slightly distorted. Do you really know what your effect on others is? The incorruptible huskies offer you the chance to get an honest opinion on the effect you have on others and your inner management style.

First we let you get acquainted with the huskies and then you choose a partner from the pack. Because you cannot communicate with the dog in the classical way, you will take on a natural “leader role” in order to achieve the desired beahviour.

Depending on the season, you run an obstacle course with the dog, go on adventurous trek or train a small team with a training cart or sledge. The dog’s master (the musher) shows you how he does the job and how he handles the dog. You do not need any experience with dogs, just intuition – and this is precisely the kind of leadership that we want to find out more about, stimulate and learn to apply.

During the end discussion, the group is given feedback as a whole and each participant on an individual basis. Our trainers have many years of experience in leadership and team building seminars with animals. The musher has travelled thousands of kilometres with the huskies – including the toughest stage races in the world. You can be sure of an exciting and inspiring day.

Clothing/equipment
The equipment required depends on the time of the year. You will be sent an equipment checklist in advance.  There is no special equipment required that most people don’t have at home anyway.

Combinations and continued support
This programme can be optimally adapted to your wishes. One-day or several-day trips can be combined, for example, with a trek to a mountain hut or a permanently snowy peak. If you wish, we can also offer you support over a longer period of time in the form of coaching.
