Our Story

Since 2002, LeadChange has embodied the beliefs, vision and mission of a team that is passionate about learning, people and horses. I am proud to lead that team.

My name is Rosalie and I’m a chartered psychologist. I have spent my career working as a leadership development specialist and executive coach in consultancies, and in-house for large corporates. I have always seen my role as creating the space and environment for people to experience things in a different way, so they can gain new insights that enable them to thrive in their environment. I have always loved doing that and was very happy until I worked with LeadChange as part of a high potential leadership programme I was running at Cable & Wireless. I was blown away by the impact the horses had on leaders and how the moments of insight they gained continued to be an anchor for change way after the experience.

“Insight cannot be taken back.

You cannot return to the moment you

were in before.” Hilary Mantel

In short, the horses are a powerful catalyst and can make visible in 5 minutes what it can take 5 sessions of 1:1 coaching to do. On a more personal level the experience reconnected me with horses. I left my corporate role, set up my own business psychology consultancy and at the same time trained with LeadChange to become an Equine Facilitated Learning Coach. In 2017 I bought LeadChange – so the moral there is beware of coming on a LeadChange programme, it may just change your life!

“There is something

about the outside of a horse that is good

for the inside of a man.” Winston S. Churchill

I have had the pleasure of working under the expert guidance of Andrew McFarlane who owned and ran the business since 2002. We are a growing team of professional leadership and team development specialists who are experts at facilitating learning experience with horses.

Our Purpose
