THINK LIKE A HORSE

Grant Golliher

Lessons in Life, Leadership, and Empahty from an Unconventional Cowboy

Here veteran horse whisperer and communication expert Grant Golliher applies his hard-won horse sense to teach invaluable lessons that anyone can use to live a fuller, more successful life.

Grant Golliher is what some would call a "horse whisperer," able to get a wild horse to calmly accept a saddle and a rider in just hours, without the use of force. Through training thousands of horses, many traumatized or abused, Golliher was able to learn essential lessons about communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect, to foster more fulfilled relationships, and in turn, create a richer life. It's why celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, professional coaches, Supreme Court justices, and even ordinary families from around the world flock to his Wyoming ranch every year to take part in the most transformational experience they have ever encountered.

Horse whispering may sound like magic, but as Golliher explains in THINK LIKE A HORSE, it's not really all that mysterious. The lessons he shares are as fundamental and ageless as the relationship between horses, the people who ride them, and the beauty of the American West. In fact, it's an approach that anyone can learn, and should learn, in order to better understand our common humanity, overcome trauma, and unlock our untapped potential in virtually every aspect of our lives.
All you have to do is think like a horse.

Grant Golliher is a horseman and proprietor of the historic Diamond Cross Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he has shown corporate executives, coaches, celebrities, and families from all around the world the skills necessary to tame troubled horses and become better people.

I have had several opportunities to watch Grant work with horses. Reading his story and watching his interaction with horses have given me a far greater appreciation for how our boundaries expand rather than limit our reach. A great read and a great experience.

Think Like a Horse is a must-read for anyone who seeks to be a leader with accountability, wisdom, and empathy -- in the world of business and beyond. Whether you're looking to lead more successful teams at work or apply the many gems he shares to your personal life, you cannot go wrong with Grant Golliher's brilliant and thought-provoking book.

Grant Golliher's example and the lessons captured in this masterful collection of stories have produced a profound impact in my life. Over the years, his wisdom has inspired me to become a better family member, a more effective business executive, and a committed servant leader in higher education.

As the book's subtitle suggests, these lessons apply to interpersonal relationships as well as personal and career advancement; beyond that, Golliher paints a beautiful picture of the internal peace that good behavior and kindness can bring, describes the importance of boundaries in teacher-learner relationships, and brings to life an image of the individual strength that trusting relationships can confer. Written in non-preachy, folksy, authentic manner, Golliher's self-help book has the potential to inspire and transform anyone who reads it. Read more...

Observing Grant work with horses underscored for me that leadership can at the same time be warm yet unyielding, calm but assertive, and both strong and understanding. All leaders, whatever their natural style, can incorporate his philosophy in a myriad of ways as they develop individual talent and build broader teams. I know I strive to do so each and every day.

This new book shares 'lessons in life, leadership, and empathy from an unconventional cowboy.' Veteran horse whisperer Grant Golliher explains how lessons of communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect learned from horses can translate to human interactions too. Read more...

Executives can read about the principles of good leadership and team building. They can attend conferences or hire coaches. But spending an hour watching a horse whisperer bond with and gain the cooperation of a wild, 1,000-pound horse brings home important leadership lessons in an immediate, profound way.

I can't wait for the world to be able to experience Grant's horse whispering philosophies. I left that demonstration aware of my need to improve my approach to relationships with friends and family, but most importantly, how I raise my children.

Watching Grant at his horse whispering demonstration for nearly an hour was an extraordinary and mesmerizing experience. I was deeply touched spiritually and it moved me for days afterward.
