Join-Up: Horse Sense for People

Monty Roberts is world famous for his way with horses, showing us all how to achieve a willing partnership. But, as everyone who has watched him or read his books is aware, his message of trust also has a tremendous impact for humans.

Now in a remarkable new book, Monty Roberts applies what he has learnt from horses to the way that we relate to each other: how we behave to each other in the family and how we raise our children; how we handle power struggles at work; how we manage and work with colleagues; how humans could treat each other everywhere.

He maintains that his methods are simple. He creates a safe environment in which the horse (or child, student or colleague) can learn. He rewards positive actions. He never uses threats or violence. He listens and is patient, waiting for cooperation.

Soon after Roberts started his demonstrations, he found that corporations from all over the world were sending managers to watch his work with horses. they wanted them to see Join-up and to see the way to use these techniques in business development and training, as a key way of the new business leadership.
