The Story of Secreto’s Gift
My business, 'Intentional Leaders - Business Coaching and Leadership Programs' is all about empowering businesses to succeed by providing tools and coaching that help a business achieve its goals. That is typical of what a business coach offers. What is not typical is the role that horses play in facilitating business and personal success.
The Science of Equine Facilitated Learning

An Introduction to the Science of Equine Facilitated Learning
Humanity would not have evolved to where it is today without the power of the horse and horses continue to help humanity evolve even today.
In the horse’s relational behaviors, we see what we call “mirroring.” This is a clear demonstration of the horse’s ability to read and respond “in kind” to the energetic field they are so adept at perceiving. As prey animals, with limited verbal language, the ability to mirror serves to keep the herd united and contributes to the safety of all. In an Equine Experiential Learning context, this exquisitely honed equine ability demonstrates proof of the energetic heart fields we all emit and the influence these fields have on one another.
How To Build Workplace Trust
By Razelle Janice Drescher
Some people start a relationship with full trust. Others have to build a foundation of trust over time based on evidence. It requires 2-way communication. Common goals help by creating an environment in which people can move together with intention. It’s helpful if common values are the foundation of a relationship based on trust.
The Power of the Performance Review Done Right
By Razelle Janice Drescher
The Performance Review is often misused and can inspire fear in the employee on the receiving end. This is often because of the context or lack thereof for that review. Here are examples of what can happen when a Performance Review is out of context:
1. The employee doesn’t know what to expect. She hasn’t heard much from her manager since the last review. She doesn’t really know where she stands or how she is doing.
2. She thinks that little contact with her manager must be better than a lot of contact since contact usually happens in this company when something has gone wrong.
3. She feels very stressed on the job but hasn’t mentioned this to her manager, thinking that the manager will blame her for not handling her job well.
4. She thinks that if she keeps a low profile, she will get by but there are things she needs help with and worries that if her manager knows this, it will reflect badly on her.
5. She doesn’t feel comfortable going to her manager for help. She just doesn’t feel safe being vulnerable with her manager about the challenges she has on the job.
How To Build A Business That Works
By Razelle Janice Drescher
A healthy business needs a strong foundation. To get the value you want from your business, you have to know what you want from it in the first place. Building your business vision is how to establish picture of your business that brings clarity to everyone involved, including employees, customers, stakeholders and vendors. It includes the products and/or services you offer, the inspiration that got you started, what sets your business apart from other businesses like yours, your growth plan, the culture you wish to establish for your internal customers (i.e., employees) and your external customers. Then you have to do what it takes to make that happen in a way that sets you apart from your competition. Why should customers choose your business rather than a business that offers similar products and services? What is your uniqueness? What kind of experience do you want your customers to have? How do you accomplish that with consistency that wows your customers?
