How to Train Your Team (Without Them Knowing It)

A leadership workshop on why you suck at giving compliments — and what to do instead

Does giving compliments make you feel as awkward as Dwight from the office?

Or would you rather jump into a fire than receive one?

Here's the thing: it's not that you can't give (or take) compliments.

It just feels slimy, like that tomato that's been hiding in the back of your fridge.

And you shouldn't have to give compliments. Seriously, people can tell you're not sincere.

But when you learn how to "train" your team using positive reinforcement, you might just realise how effectively compliments (and other rewards) can work in your benefit.

Because, humans, like every other animal, respond to positive reinforcement in very specific, learnable ways — usually with a lot more enthusiasm and motivation than when they get told off for doing something wrong.

So come spend a morning with horse behaviourist and leadership coach Susan Nienaber, working directly with her horses to see positive reinforcement in action — then walk away knowing exactly how you can use it to manipulate train your team. Though you have to promise to use this for good!!

You'll leave knowing:

🍫 why giving compliments feels weird as as f*ck

👾 what makes using rewards super effectively if you want to "train" your colleagues without them knowing it

What's included:

Who it's for: Leaders at any stage — new or experienced — who want to lead in a way people actually respond to.
