SUMMARY:Stable Leadership in an Unstable World
DESCRIPTION:An advanced workshop with Linda Kohanov. \n\nWhen: June 15 – 17\, 2017\nTime: 9:30 am to 5:30 pm daily\nWhere: Lodestone Leadership • #51026 Range Road #222 • Magrath\, AB T0K 1J0 • Canada\nCost: $1500 (includes lunch and workshop materials)\nLocal Contact: Janet Murray • 403-634-5056 • janet@lodestoneleadership.com\nFor Assistance in Registering: 520-455-5908 • info@eponaquest.com\nLocal Accommodations:\n\nComfort Inn • 3226 Fairmont Plaza Rd. S. • Lethbridge\, AB T1K 7T5\, Canada • 403-320-8874\nHoliday Inn • 2375 Mayor Magrath Dr. S. • Lethbridge\, AB T1K 7M1\, Canada • 888-724-9250\n\n\n\n  \nLinda’s only appearance in Canada in 2017 is in-depth\, advanced horse-facilitated workshop for people who want to learn new ways to transform interpersonal conflict\, power struggles\, bullying\, and other difficulties at home\, school\, work\, and in political\, religious\, or social activism contexts. Because it builds upon some basic Eponaquest tools\, it requires previous attendance at an introductory Eponaquest leadership or personal development workshop\, or private sessions that cover the basic skills. \nStable Leadership in an Unstable World offers practical tools for how to: \n\nBuild trust\, respect\, and connection in challenging situations\nHelp others manage fear and anxiety in times of significant change or competition\nRecognize the antiquated\, often unconscious power plays that people engage in regardless of culture\, religion\, nationality\, or social status\nEmploy nonverbal and conversational techniques for diffusing conflict and gaining cooperation from dominant\, confused\, frightened or aggressive people and horses\nDevelop emotional heroism\, that rare combination of power and compassion\, courage and self-control\, accountability and forgiveness that great secular and religious leaders throughout history used to motivate others in challenging circumstances\n\n“In the workplace as well as at home\, school and in larger community settings\, significant social change is not going to occur until sensitive\, caring people become empowered rather than overwhelmed\,” Linda emphasizes. “We need thoughtful\, compassionate individuals to enter situations where suffering and conflict occur\, and show a different form of strength\, one that holds people accountable without becoming abusive. Otherwise we will continue to see frustrated\, disillusioned teenagers acting out violently\, bullies stirring up fear to gain control\, and sociopaths callously thriving at others’ expense. \nFor this workshop\, Linda will team up with Eponaquest Instructors Janet Murray and Roxy Wright\, who also offer introductory workshops in the Lethbridge\, Alberta\, Canada area. For those who haven’t yet attended an introductory workshop\, Janet and Roxy have scheduled qualifying trainings before Linda’s June 15 to 17 appearance www.lodestoneleadership.com. You can also contact other Eponaquest Instructors in your region for qualifying workshops or private sessions by checking the Recommended Instructors page http://eponaquest.com/recommended-instructors/. \nCancellation Policy: Cancellation up to 30 days prior to the event start date results in a credit of one-half the workshop tuition.

SUMMARY:The Power Behind Nonviolence: Horse Sense for Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:1-Day Indoor Skill Building Workshop Presented by Linda Kohanov \n\nWhen: June 19\, 2017\nTime: 9:30 am to 5:30 pm daily\nWhere: Providence Renewal Centre • 3005 119 St. NW • Edmonton\, AB T6J5R5 • Canada\nTuition:  $250 (Canadian)\nFor More Information or to Register: suebedieracp@gmail.com • 780-983-3494\n\n  \nSignificant family and social change is not going to occur until sensitive\, caring people become empowered rather than overwhelmed. We need thoughtful\, compassionate individuals to enter situations where suffering and conflict proliferate\, and show a different form of strength\, one that holds people accountable without becoming abusive. Otherwise we will continue to see frustrated\, disillusioned teenagers and spouses acting out violently\, bullies stirring up fear to gain control\, and sociopaths callously thriving at others’ expense.\n— Linda Kohanov \nIn this engaging\, moving\, immensely practical workshop\, Linda Kohanov shares the skills she accessed to rehabilitate Midnight Merlin\, a dangerous\, formerly abused stallion\, while showing how these principles can be translated into handling challenging people and situations. \nThe daylong seminar is for anyone who wants to learn new ways to transform interpersonal conflict\, power struggles\, bullying\, and other challenges at home\, school\, work\, and in political\, religious\, or social activism contexts. \nBased on skills featured in her books The Power of the Herd: A Nonpredatory Approach to Social Intelligence\, Leadership and Innovation and The Five Roles of a Master Herder: A Revolutionary Approach to Socially Intelligent Leadership\, this workshop offers innovative tools for working with frightened\, aggressive\, abused\, or potentially explosive children and adults—situations that call for considerable finesse and empathy backed by a skillful use of power. \nThe Power Behind Nonviolence training is for lawyers\, mental health professionals\, divorce coaches and financial advisors\, mediators\, teachers\, parents\, health care workers\, clergy\, social activists\, first-responders\, law enforcement personnel\, and people who work or live with those who act out in aggressive or intensely fearful ways at times. \nIn peace and in war\, George Washington exhibited emotional heroism\, advising his closest associates to “Let your heart feel for the affliction and distress of everyone.” Dealing with the pain and resentment experienced in his own war-torn country 200 years later\, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh observed that ‘When another person makes you suffer\, it is because he suffers deeply in himself. He does not need punishment. He needs help…Happiness and safety are not an individual matter. His happiness and safety are crucial to your happiness and safety.” \n“No one made this controversial notion more apparent to me than Merlin\,” Linda emphasizes. “Misunderstanding and punishment created the monster he became. I knew I would never be safe around him until his trauma was transformed\, not through naive\, ‘it’s not his fault’ indulgence\, but through a heroic use of power combined with mindfulness\, compassion\, and self-control. Whenever I achieved this balanced state of power in myself\, Merlin would shift from violence to thoughtfulness and respect\, learning over time to trust feelings of safety\, connection\, affection\, and well-being. If a horse can achieve this\, why can’t we?” \n  \nIn this workshop\, you will learn how to: \n\nBuild trust\, respect\, and connection in challenging situations\nHelp others manage fear and anxiety in times of significant change\, conflict or competition\nUnderstand the messages behind emotion\, in yourself and others\, and use this information to make informed\, thoughtful choices (without\,\nironically\, mentioning the emotions themselves)\nLearn how to be assertive without being aggressive\nEmploy nonverbal and conversational techniques for diffusing conflict and gaining cooperation from dominant\, confused\, frightened or\naggressive people\nUnderstand the differences between predatory and nonpredatory power\, and when and how to use both for the good of the “herd” and “tribe”\nLearn the difference between the Leader and Dominant roles\, and when\nand how to use both effectively\nDevelop emotional heroism\, that rare combination of power and compassion\, courage and self-control\, accountability and forgiveness that great secular and religious leaders throughout history used to create significant social change\n\nAn innovative and practical\, nature-based approach to leadership—and life. It’s not just for corporate executives. Parents\, teachers\, community organizers\, film directors\, and especially politicians would all benefit from learning these skills.\n— William Shatner\, actor\, director\, author
