Amanda West - Lead, People Experience Program Management - Google
My team and I gained powerful tools to apply personally and as a group around effective leadership. The exercises with the horses were a great mix of fun and deep individual and group learning, with practical takeaways and applications for how to navigate interpersonal dynamics and strategic objectives effectively.
This was the best part of our 2 day offsite! For teams looking for bonding, introspection, and team metaphors, I recommend Bridgit wholeheartedly.
Leslie Coyne -
VP Talent & Leadership Development - LivaNova
Bridgit possesses a very rare combination of expertise in equine behavior and team effectiveness, while also demonstrating exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills. She leverages her deep understanding and experience with horses to create powerful and memorable learning opportunities for participants. The opportunity that Bridgit provided our leaders - to get out of the classroom and practice critical leadership skills with horses - was a true gift and an experience that most will never forget.
Andrea Bordence - CEO -Insitute for Generative Leadership US
The half day with fellow IGL colleagues generated rich conversations about how our awareness of ourselves in relationship with our team members, made visible in our conditioned tendencies. Bridgit negotiated the space to allow this to show up so elegantly.
A key practice for our team was that nervousness, anxiety, fear, or uncertainty are normal and ok, and that there are skillful ways to embrace being settled amidst the unsettledness that shows up. We look forward to coming back!

Our leadership team recently attended a retreat and to say it was an incredible experience is an understatement. Bridgit led us through of activities that focused on being present, leading with intention, and understanding how our energy has an impact on the horses’ receptiveness to what we were asking them to do. She worked with each of us to help us find our individual leadership style and gain a deeper understanding about how our energy and presence can impact the horses and how that translate to the people that we lead.
Bob Dunham - Founder - Institute for Generative Leadership
My group and I had a great learning experience with Bridgit. We are a group that is developing learning practices for people in performance fields such as leadership, education, family dynamics, community mobilization, social justice, and healthy organizations.
The experience with the horses was an extraordinary learning lab to see how to include the body in learning, face challenges, and progress in confidence in a new, challenging situations.
Stacy Lambatos - Founder - Caya Studios
Bridgit has a gift that is hard to put into words. She is gentle, kind, warm, patient, articulate and aware. She's not only aware of each individual she's working with, but aware of the group and what it needs in order to have an incredible experience doing leadership development with horses. We had experiences in working with the horses that exposed the art of leading, following, surrendering, partnering and ultimately connecting. It was incredible to witness this work with a horse and then relate it back. If you have even a small curiosity or interest in deepening in connection with yourself and others in a unique experiential way, you would be giving yourself the biggest gift in working with Bridgit.

I entered our partnership with a particular goal in mind: to develop my executive presence and communication style. The version of myself that I met along the way blew my expectations away. Bridget led me through self-inquiries that helped me uncover tools to find my center in moments of churn. She helped me unlock a new perspective on how I can live in alignment with the person I want to be. I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to work with Bridgit and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, incredibly skilled executive coach.

Bridgit is a great coach. She uses powerful tools and resources to set a baseline, then assists you in setting your goals, then helps to hold you accountable to accomplish them. She is personable and open, regardless of the topic that may arise. I trust her opinion and insight into making the most complex processes or tasks seem manageable. Plus, we always seem to have a good laugh!

“At the beginning of the twenty-first century, probably for the first time in human
history, the living presence of the abyss—that is, the simultaneous existence of one
world that is dying and another one that is being born—is a widely shared experience
for millions of people across cultures, sectors, and generations…wherever people are
looking at the real picture. It’s a felt sense that applies to relationships, institutions,
and systems, but even more to the personal level of our journey…”
-otto scharmer, ‘leading from the emerging future’
