The Collaboration Partners is an experiential learning organization that partners with horses to connect people and ensure they harness their individual and collective potential. We believe that through facilitated collaboration we are able to help transform individuals and ensure organizations are aligned to common goals, perform better together, and are as powerful as humanly possible.
All of our experiential learning programs are built around a three-stage process that maximizes the potential of collaboration to help individuals and organizations realize their full potential.
There is no riding involved and no horse experience is necessary. Our certified and experienced facilitators are dedicated to creating an environment of psychological and physical safety for our clients.
The wisdom of horses and their honest response to us helps us to see our beliefs, perceptions and actions with a fresh pair of eyes. This insight helps generate the new levels of awareness and understanding that are necessary to implement the changes our teams and organizations need.
The Collaboration Partners is based in North Central Ohio but has a network of partners in the U.S and abroad that allows our team to work with clients almost anywhere they are located.
Some of the key benefits of facilitated equine-assisted learning include:
We believe that by finding new ways of leading and working, we can help people and organizations learn and grow.
Each of our programs are designed to maximize the value of every human in an organization to overcome barriers and achieve true potential.

Millennials are progressing into senior leadership positions, while Gen Z are maturing beyond entry level positions. Each group is unique in their own way while also sharing the aspiration to become more confident leaders.
This is where The Collaboration Partners and our Empowering Emerging Leaders learning program comes in. Throughout our interactive sessions participants will learn how to manage diverse personalities, resolve conflict among team members and set healthy boundaries to create a collaborative work environment where everyone thrives
Key Learnings:
Recent trends in today’s complex and interconnected world have accelerated the rate of polarization within society while creating a new and growing wave of inequality in all areas of our daily lives.
Not surprisingly, our workplaces have started to mirror this dynamic. This makes it imperative for business leaders to create corporate cultures and working environments that promote diversity, equity, and inclusiveness, while aligning with the values of the people that make up the team.
Diversity in the workplace today means more than issues of gender, race and ethnicity. It includes employees with diverse religious and political beliefs, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, sexual orientation and disabilities. While this makes it increasingly complex to address, companies that do succeed in creating more diverse and inclusive workplaces have high employee satisfaction and they consistently perform better and produce better results.

Trying to build a unified team without interconnectedness is frustrating. You think you are communicating clearly and building rapport among the team, but the team isn’t performing at the level you know they can.
Here are three steps to take to move your team from chaos to unity and ultimately become a performing team.

Executive Summary Bringing 20 leaders together to work as a cohesive team brings a multitude of challenges such as different leadership styles, communication styles, personalities, experiences, and perceptions.
